Gunvein is a shoot ’em up video game developed and published by NGDEV.

About

Gunvein is an intense, dynamic bullet hell STG inspired by the arcade masterpieces of CAVE, Taito, and Raizing / Eighting.

Screen domination is vital—use your loc-ons and 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!

Score isn’t merely a number—the points you accrue come back to you as extra lives & currency for the game’s shop system.
