History VideoGame / GalGun

* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: In ''Gal Gun 2'', your headset gives you the ability to use Pheromone Shots and see demons. And make you irresistible to girls.

* HaremEnding: In ''Double Peace'' you don't have to just go with one girl; sometimes, you can pick multiple girls.

The ExcusePlot of both the original and ''Double Peace'' are fairly similar. The FeaturelessProtagonist (Tenzou Motesugi in the original, Houdai Kudoki in ''Double Peace'') is scouted out by a cupid-in-training, who is tasked with helping him find love. Unfortunately, the protagonist is accidentally shot (for one reason or another) by an overcharged love arrow, which causes him to become a super ChickMagnet who is making nearly every single female on campus ''incredibly'' horny. The cure? Find true love by sunset, or else he will lose his chance at love -- ''forever.'' ''Gal Gun 2'' changes things up, as this time the protagonist was randomly selected to become a demon-fighting hero and given equipment that lets him see and fight them. And also makes him irresistible to girls.

The series was originally a NoExportForYou in Japan, but thanks to Ekoro's unexpected popularity as a playable character in ''[[VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt Mighty Gunvolt]]'', ''Gal*Gun'' made the jump overseas with its first international game, ''Gal*Gun Double Peace''. A VR spinoff title was also released for [=PCs=] known as ''Gal*Gun VR'', whose style and mechanics would later become the basis for the third main series title, ''Gal*Gun 2'' for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch.

** In Double Peace, you have endings for Shinobu and Maya, plus [[TenchiSolution both of them]], plus endings where you either court [[MissionControl the angel who shot you in the first place]] or the demon who distracted her, or even an ending with [[LegacyCharacter Patako, the angel from the previous game!]]

* TheImmodestOrgasm: Essentially this is how you are "subduing" the girls that are trying to confess their love to you since you are literally filling them with ectasy. Special note goes to Doki Doki mode, however, where you can cause girls to ''explode'' with ectasy and taking out everyone else around them.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Given the nature of the game, it should not be a surprise that there's a lot of it.

* CriticalHit: Shooting a girl in either the breasts or their privates will result in an "Ecstasy Shot" that [[OneHitKill incapacitates them in a single shot.]]

The first game focuses on Tenzou Motesugi, your [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent average high school student]] who just can't seem to catch a break. An Angel apprentice by the name of Patako has screwed up her final exam for Angel Academy and [[BlessedWithSuck shot him with too many of her Love Arrows]], leaving him with just one day to find his true love or face eternal loneliness. To further complicate the situation, [[UnwantedHarem almost all of the girls attending Sakurazaki Academy]], [[TeacherStudentRomance including the teachers]], [[ChickMagnet want to be Tenzou's girlfriend]] and only four girls are immune to this for various reasons. Tenzou has to pursue the girl that he chooses as his true love while simultaneously fending off the other girls with the [[ThePowerOfLove Pheromone Shot]] that Patako has given to him. It was initially released for the UsefulNotes/Xbox360 and later released on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3. [[NoExportForYou Neither version made it outside of Japan]].

The sequel, ''Double Peace'', stars Houdai Kudoki, who finds himself in a situation similar to Tenzou. Ekoro, another angel apprentice, was also tasked with shooting someone with a love arrow for her final exam. However, she gets distracted by Kurona, a demon student on her own assignment, and accidentally shoots Houdai with an overcharged shot. Houdai suddenly becomes the object of affection of nearly every female at school, and like Tenzou before him, he has to find his true love before the end of the day or face a lifetime of loneliness. Further complicating matters are Shinobu and Maya, sisters who are not affected by the arrow and have a history with Houdai. It was released for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita, and PC via UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}, and against all odds saw a localized release. Ekoro from ''Double Peace'' also made an appearance in ''Mighty Gunvolt'' as a playable character alongside Gunvolt from ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt'' and Beck from ''VideoGame/MightyNo9''.

This is ''Gal*Gun'' in a nutshell.

* BittersweetEnding: Despite it sounding like it's a DownerEnding, the Blue Balls ending of ''Double Peace'' (which you get by completing the Unseen Destiny route with 0% affection) is actually this. [[spoiler: Houdai doesn't find a girlfriend by day's end, and, by extension, Ekoro, having failed in her duties, is BroughtDownToNormal. That said, she shacks up with Houdai, becomes his housewife (except for the fact that they're not married), and they live Happily Ever After]].

* BroughtDownToNormal: The bad ending you get if you complete the Unseen Destiny route with 0% affection has [[spoiler: Ekoro fail her test, and her makeup exam, and be sentenced to becoming human. She proceeds to shack up with Houdai, and act as his house girlfriend]].

* CuttingOffTheBranches: Aoi is present in ''Double Peace'', which suggests that she did not become Tenzou's girlfriend. Her ending in Double Peace [[spoiler: has her take Houdai as her new manager, with her immunity to the Pheromone Shot meaning he never gets to find out if she's his girlfriend in time.]]
** Also, [[spoiler: early in the game, you meet Patako, from the first game, who clearly was [[BroughtDownToNormal punished for what happened in the first game...]]]]

* NonStandardGameOver: Complete all the donations to [=LoveHeart=] in ''Double Peace''. [[spoiler: Aoi will give you the option to come with them to America as the band's manager, at the cost of losing your shot at romance forever. [[ViolationOfCommonSense Accepting the offer is required]] for [[OneHundredPercentCompletion 100% Completion]] since it's the only way to unlock Aoi's ending.]]

* PantyThief: a ''Double Peace'' side mission is to find a girl's panties after they were stolen [[spoiler: by a kitten]]. You become one yourself in one route.

* UnsettlingGenderReveal: One of the side missions in ''Double Peace'' is to find a "girl" on the track field who's got [[OrAreYouJustHappyToSeeMe an unsettling bulge in her shorts]]. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Turns out]] it really was a girl, she was just [[TrouserSpace carrying a banana there]] for some reason]].

''Gal*Gun'' is a RailShooter series developed by Creator/IntiCreates. The premise is different from most other rail shooters out there -- instead of shooting zombies or enemy troops with guns, here you have to stop a mob of lovestruck girls with a [[ThePowerOfLove Pheromone Shot]]. [[WidgetSeries It's something so utterly insane that only the Japanese could have created it]].

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: during the first boss fight on the "Angel and Demon" route of ''Double Peace'', the player-character repeatedly [[MaleGaze gets distracted by a pornographic magazine on the floor]], allowing the boss to get a jump on the player.
