Guwange is a vertically scrolling bullet hell arcade shooter developed by CAVE and released in 1999. It stands out in the shmup genre for its unique blend of traditional Japanese aesthetic and mythology with the frenetic, challenging gameplay typical of CAVE’s shoot-’em-ups.

Initially released in arcades, Guwange was later ported to the Xbox 360 in 2010 as part of the Xbox Live Arcade platform, making it more accessible to a modern audience. It remains a cult favorite among fans of the shmup genre.

The game has a dark and atmospheric soundtrack, which enhances the immersive experience of navigating through the chaotic yet beautiful environments of ancient Japan. Despite its relatively short length (as typical of many arcade games), Guwange is praised for its replayability and complex scoring mechanics, which encourage mastery.
