Giga Wing is a rare shoot 'em up in that it's a vertical scrolling shooter, displayed on a horizontal screen - similar to Capcoms 1944: The Loop Master, and Treasure's Radiant Silvergun.
Our second 'Bullet hell' SHMUP release, Giga Wing was developed by one of the companies formed following Toaplan's bankrupcy. Takumi Corporation, was one of four companies formed in the wake of Toaplan's demise - along with CAVE, 8ing/Razing and Gazelle - and the only company to create sequels to any of Toaplan's games.
With a steampunk setting similar to Progear, Giga Wing has slightly more conventional SHMUP gameplay but presents solid two-player play none the less. It's an essential play for any shoot 'em up fan!
