Gunvein Nintendo Switch Release
Gunvein is a dynamic, aggression-based bullet hell shoot-em-up where you use lock-on lasers, charged weapons, bombs & hypers inspired by the arcade masterpieces of CAVE, Taito, and Raizing/8ing. Screen domination is vital – use your lock-ons & charged energy blasts to overwhelm enemies before they overwhelm you.
Aggressive play is rewarded with resources that can be used to temporarily power up your shot or to unleash a devastating screen-clearing Bomb. Use this to create destructive feedback loops!
The score isn’t merely a number – the points you accrue come back to you as extra lives & currency for the game’s shop system.
Features
