The only time the game does anything relatively interesting is during the boss battles that spring up, some of which are handled better than others. When I went to share a video of this mode to Twitter, I found that the black “censoring” box actually made the action happening behind it seem a lot more risque. Occasionally, you can send things into “Doki-Doki Mode” to “pet” one of the girls in various spots until she becomes overjoyed, but that’s not as exciting as it sounds. There are some school handbooks and extra points to collect, but they’re no reason to put yourself through the torture of playing these levels over and over again. No matter what level you’re playing, though the scenery may change, the things you’re doing - and indeed, even the girls you’re fending off - are exactly the same. This is pretty amusing for the first five minutes, as you watch hordes of squealing young girls absolutely throw themselves at the screen, attempting to “damage” you with letters, gifts and love confessions that soar across the screen as glowing Japanese characters.Īnd then the boredom sets in. I mean, I’m not saying I’d like there to be a ton of naked girls or anything - that stuff doesn’t interest me, if you know what I mean - but after experiencing the scroll-pooping wonder of the ladies in Senran Kagura (don’t ask if you don’t know), this one comes off a bit tame by comparison for the majority of your time.Īs you might expect based on the plot, the basic idea of the on-rails shooting gameplay is that you’ve got a whole lot of girls after you, and you’ve got to reject their advances before they can tempt you into falling for them. If you think that’s going to be mild compared to the in-game stuff, though, well… actually, Gal Gun ’s a bit of a disappointment in that regard. The game also features plenty of cringe-inducing material, unfortunately: I didn’t appreciate that, when one of the girls needed comforting, one of my options was to “rub her boobs” without her consent. Ekoro is quite humorous as the addled angel who’s made a terrible mistake, for example, and her rival - a demon named Korona - is also amusingly over-the-top. The narrative itself is light as a feather and won’t appeal to anyone who doesn’t already enjoy this sort of fluff, but I have to admit its premise and some of its characters are pretty cute. Because of this, he’s only got 24 hours to find his “true love” before he runs out of sex appeal entirely. You see, he’s been shot by a sort of Cupid-in-training named Ekoro, which makes him absolutely irresistible to the scads of young women around the school (apparently all the gay guys are truant - if there are any other guys at this school in the first place, I didn’t see any!). Still, I have to give credit where it’s due, and Gal Gun gives a hilariously dumb reason for lead character Hodai to be shooting off his, er, firearm. What good there is appears to be limited to the story, an extremely ironic fact given the premise. Even the folks that come for the titillation are going to be horribly disappointed by this one - there’s not much to see here. This is a game about a kid who shoots girls with “pheromone shots” until they climax, after all, and it somehow manages to be a crushing bore. When I see a game as exploitative as Gal Gun: Double Peace, the last thing I expect it to be is dull.
