Guwange is a first-rate shooter with all the ingredients that make games of its kind tick. It's hard, short, creative, perfectly framed and pithy. Compared to today's games, it might seem like a ghost of the past, but if you don't expect an epic storyline, there really are no arguments against getting this gem of a game.
The name and the screenshots have probably put most people off already but this is a classic example of Cave's mastery of the 2D shooter.
Despite the wealth of options and the addition of infinite continues – which will no doubt lead some to complain that it can be completed in 20 minutes – Guwange makes few concessions to a modern audience, and as such, Cave has almost certainly restricted its game to a niche crowd. But that's an observation, not a criticism.
It's a bullet inferno, strongly raccomended to old style 2D shoot'em up. Hard as hell, obviously.
This core mechanic proves sound. [Issue#67, p.101]
Decent shooter action, but only for you hardcore players out there.
An atmospheric, challenging shooter unlike anything else out there, but it's definitely not for everyone – the odd controls and punishing difficulty will no doubt turn off many casual fans. If you love a short but intense thrill ride and/or carefully perfecting your high-score game, however, you'll find a lot to love in Guwange.
