Guwange is a Bullet Hell Shoot 'Em Up, made by Cave in 1999, with artwork by "Joker" Junya Inoue. It is the Muromachi Period in Japan, a time of great strife, chaos, and violence. Plagues are befalling the land, people are getting possessed by shikigami and dying after a year, and a malevolent power named Guwange-sama rules from Mount Gokumon. Three protagonists decide to attack Guwange, each having their own motives for doing so: Shishin: An infamous murderer who wears an oni mask and is aided by the shikigami Rikiou, so that ordinary people think he really is a oni. His daughter, Mikoto, had incredible powers and was sought after by all sorts of powerful beings, finally ending up with Guwange-sama. Shishin seeks to get her back. Hiiragi Kosame: She is a priestess and a guardian of nature who is bonded to Yasuhisha, a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Fox. Yasuhisha is aware that she will die within a year due to their bond, so together they set off to defeat Guwange-sama. Kamono Gensuke: He was studying medicine when Kirinmaru came and possessed him. Now, he assassinates others for money and to appease Kirinmaru, but has heard that anyone who defeats Guwange-sama will be freed from possession by shikigami. Thus, Kamono Gensuke ventures forth.Similar to Gunsmoke a decade prior, the player characters are humans walking on foot, and the stages scroll in many different directions as opposed to just straight-up or straight-right.It is available in English on the X-Box Store (On X360 and BC on X1). This version has an XBOX Arrange Mode which allows independent movement of the character and shikigami, and some gameplay changes to make high-scoring more interesting.

Deal with the Devil
 Guwange (Video Game) / int_1fc8335e
comment
Deal with the Devil: Shishin is able to live for longer than a year, despite being bonded with a shikigami, due to a special deal. Rikiou allows him to live as long as he kills humans to feed him. This led to his reputation as a man-eating murderer. Fujihara Motohiko accepted demonic power to get revenge on the clan that destroyed his family, with the six attendant ladies that come with him during his boss fight being demons in disguise that are ready to kill him should he renounce the demonic pact made with them. Ashikaga Sukouji made a deal with the monkey demon Magira to get revenge on his father for abandoning him because of his illegitimacy. Defeating Sukouji during the stage 5 boss fight releases Magira, which must be destroyed before entering Gokumon.

The Dreaded: Shishin's reputation as a mass murderer (well, probably not by choice) has led to villagers fearing him as a man-eating ogre.

Bittersweet Ending: Shishin's ending suggests that he will have to fight for the rest of his life in order to protect his daughter, with the final scene of the credits has him surrounded by samurai. Also Kosame's ending, since Yasuhisha has sacrificed himself to save her life from the shikigami curse.

Evil Laugh: Heard in the background of stage 3, probably the ghosts themselves laughing. Mikoto also giggles evilly in the third phase of the final boss battle, though it's probably the result of Amagizu's or Guwange-sama's influence.
