Characters
Gungage features four playable characters.- Wakle Skade: A young, blonde man who is the only playable character at the beginning of the game. His rifle has only one primary attack: rapid-firing blue energy bullets. He has two special abilities, both of which are defensive, one is the energy shield and the other is a "stop bullet" that can freeze the enemy for a few seconds.
- Kard Berdish: An ex-officer of the mysterious corporation that seems to be responsible for the monsters. He has white hair, wears a military uniform, and carries a multifunction rifle that includes a laser rifle, flamethrower, homing-missile launcher, and grenade launcher, as well as two devastating special attacks.
- Steyr Harquebus: A dissident fighting against the corporation. She is a small, teenage girl with a long-barelled minigun that is taller than she is. She has only one primary attack but four special moves more than make up for this shortcoming.
- Dee Van Feng: A cyborg teenage boy with long white hair, created by the corporation. Dee carries a pair of uzis.
Each of the four characters has his/her own story, which mostly involve the same levels as the other characters, but in a different order, and with elements shuffled around in interesting ways.
