If you are a fan of Senran Kagura or Valkyrie Drive, you may have heard of this title. Surprisingly, it’s a rail shooter, a rare sight and usually reserved more for arcades. (Or the Rambo game from years ago that no one wishes to talk about._ But Gal*Gun has traded bullets for pheromones, which when fired will cease any negative affection the player is giving off. (Though one may ask just why is every girl out for our hero?)
The story revolves around a boy named Hodai, who is struck by an arrow by an evil angel named named Kurona, and then cursed. Not only does the curse make every girl in the school go after him in hatred, but if he cannot find his true love, he will be destined for a life of loneliness. There are a total 70 girls in the game, and they all can be interacted with. Each of them have their own specific ending.
Gameplay is not just limited to shooting and bonding with those girls. There are mini-games similar to Senran Kagura’s dressing room, where you can physically interact with the girls through touching and rubbing. It’s certainly an aspect the PQube was not shy of showing off in the trailer. However, it seems that only Europe will get the limited edition, exclusive to Rice Digital, which actually includes DLC costumes, an artbook, the soundtrack, a wall scroll, a panty screen-cleaner – wait what?
I was not joking.
Fun fact: in the small crossover game called Mighty Gunvolt, Ekoro from Gal*Gun was the third playable character, alongside Beck from Mighty No 9 and Gunvolt of Azure Striker Gunvolt.
Gal*Gun Double Peace will be released on August 2, 2016 on PlayStation 4 and Vita. And hopefully with no more delays.
