Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Shoot 'em Up made by SITER SKAIN in 1999 and part of The Tale of ALLTYNEX trilogy, Kamui has been often described as "a more intense RayStorm clone". The gameplay is slightly different from the "standard" shoot 'em up: the ship — the eponymous Kamui fighter — is not a One-Hit Point Wonder, and it has two special weapons beyond its main Spread Shot: a powerful Wave-Motion Gun that can cancel bullets and a "lightning storm" weapon that targets enemies below the fighter where its main weapons cannot reach. Both run off the same energy gauge, which must recharge after each use. It is short, but very fast-paced and relentless in difficulty.Although one of the earliest games released by SITER SKAIN, its story actually takes place after several of their other titles; both ALLTYNEX Second and RefleX are prequels to it. During the Time Skip in RefleX, a scientist named Xaffiquel de Alice drafts a theory regarding "Brain Fusion" technology, which would allow a psychic human's mind to be permanently uploaded into a computer. The military sees the potential to create super-weapons using this theory. In desperation due to the ZODIAC's battling it out over Earth, eight "Kamui" fighters and a massive automatic defense army, commanded from the "Mechanized Temple", are created using this technology. Among the humans uploaded into those fighters was Xaffiquel's own daughter, Panafill de Alice. Enraged at the loss of his daughter, Xaffiquel decides that humanity has grown too corrupt and must be punished. Uploading his mind into the orbital fortress as "the Adjudicator", he waits for civilization to rebuild itself before unleashing the destructive might of the Mechanized Temple and Neural Network based on the ancient genocidal supercomputer, ALLTYNEX.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Now Panafill, who managed to escape the rebuilt ALLTYNEX's control due to having been conscious during her upload, must destroy both ALLTYNEX and the Adjudicator to prevent mankind's destruction.An English translation patch is available here (requires v1.10), making it the first game in the series to be fully translated. This doesn't really matter anymore, as Nyu Media localized and published Kamui along with the rest of the ALLTYNEX trilogy in June 2013, and is available for purchase through various digital distribution sites.Has nothing to do with Kamui Gakupo, the Kamui uniforms, or Kanna Kamui.

Death from Above: The Kamui's lightning storm weapon is pretty much certain doom for anything below it. One of the Adjudicator's attacks rains downs death beams after turning red.

Disproportionate Retribution
 Kamui (Video Game) / int_50b05d30
comment
Disproportionate Retribution: The whole of humanity needs to die to atone for uploading a single girl's mind into a military fighter? Possibly the whole thing starts because Doc didn't like the (fairly typical) misuse of his rather benevolent (if inhumane) research made by the government. And all of that just so they can have more power. Adding his daughter's mind being uploaded into a fighter just added more fuel.

Attack Reflector: Though not necessarily to the point of Reflection and RefleX. Hitting an enemy laser with your Lightning Blade will turn it into a lightning blast that attacks enemies. The unlockable "Mass-Produced" version of the Kamui fighter has a spread of lightning beams that are designed around reflecting back lasers.

Meaningful Name
 Kamui (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: The name of final boss theme, "The Judge", seems to represent Xaffiquel's delusions as a punisher of humanity's sins. In addition, his name is clearly derived from Tzaphqiel, an angel who was assigned to record all history, and, in quite a bit of rabbinical lore, a dark angel. In fact, the idea of a angel over your right shoulder and a demon over your left shoulder, trying to sway you towards good and evil respectively, came from an idea of this being done with Raziel swaying towards good, and Tzaphqiel swaying towards evil.
