Gal Gun Story & Gameplay
You are a random male student targeted by a Cupid who accidentally releases a barrage of love arrows at you which in result makes all the girls in your school fall in love with you. However, things do not shine in your favor as much as the situation would first give reason to believe…
This happy/unfortunate accident left you with a big problem. If you are unable to find true love at the end of the day, you are cursed to live your life in loneliness. To help yourself and the Cupid to clean up her mess, here is where your journey begins, but before you even realize it, you are already surrounded by waves of horny schoolgirls craving for your love and attention.
At the beginning of the game, you first pick a girl to confess your love to and then battle your way to get to her. At the end of each rail shooting section, the girl you chose is waiting for you to chat with. During the chit-chat, you get to choose dialogue options, play minigames, and get closer to confessing your love to the girl of your dreams.
In rail shooter gameplay fashion, to fend off the girls’ love-arrow-induced clingy nature, you must “take shots” of the girls all across their body and aim for Ecstasy shots in order to stop them from draining your health bar.
Once you meet certain conditions, a Doki Doki Mode can be initiated. In this mode, you can concentrate on a specific girl to shoot at them in more close-up angles and enjoy their body all over. This mode also manipulates your overall character stats for better or worse and makes all the girls fall on the ground in a single well swoop, thus stopping them from overwhelming you.
Gameplay sections are divided by visual story-telling cutscenes. While your character is mostly a mute, every girl are fully voice acted. As one would expect from a perverted rail shooter such as this one, the story takes a comedic approach to everything. A fun little story where you can sit back, relax, and have some fun!
With over 70 female characters available, most of these characters consist of students and faculty members, but there are some rare sightings of other female characters as well.
Gal Gun Returns offers enhanced experience from the original. Most of the DLCs comes pre-loaded, from bikinis to aprons and more. The girls have new hairstyles and other small changes to them. Brand new CGs have been added for each heroine’s introduction and other parts of their story. There is a complete gallery mode with over 250 illustrations, both old and new!
Once you are done with Gal Gun Returns, know that there is a sequel, Gal*Gun: Double Peace. As the two games share no continued story other than the same idea, it can be recommended to play Double Peace first. Either way, you can not go wrong.
