The first game, ''Gal*Gun'', was released for the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}} in 2011 and UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 in 2012 [[NoExportForYou only in Japan]], but thanks to Ekoro's unexpected popularity as a playable character in ''VideoGame/MightyGunvolt'', ''Gal*Gun'' made the jump overseas with its first international game, ''Gal*Gun Double Peace'' for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita and PC in 2015. 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'' ([[SequelNumberSnarl yes, the third game is officially labelled "2"]]) for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, [=PS4=] and PC in 2018. A remastered version of the first game, titled ''Gal*Gun Returns'', is set for release in 2021 for the Switch and UsefulNotes/XboxOne to celebrate the franchise's [[MilestoneCelebration 10th anniversary]].

* SequelDifficultyDrop: ''Gal*Gun 2'' is noticeably easier when compared to ''Double Peace''. In ''Double Peace'', while most of the levels are manageable enough in difficulty, the boss battles required precise and quick timing with your controls if you wanted to get the [[GoldenEnding best ending]] for the girl of your choice and it was rather difficult enough to accomplish effectively. ''2'' decided to drop the iffy prerequisites and made the boss battles easier, as well as adding more AntiFrustrationFeatures.

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 [[OneTrueLove true love]] by sunset, or else [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment he will lose his chance at love — ''forever''.]]

* StealthPun: The premise of the game's gameplay is that you shoot girls with pheromones to pacify them [[spoiler:(i.e., you're running around the school banging girls)]].
** Or, alternately, [[spoiler:shooting them down]].

* DownloadableContent: There's a lot of it, typically alternate outfits for the girls. Taken UpToEleven with ''Double Peace'', which has [[CrackIsCheaper $90]] DLC that allows you to see through the girls' clothes.

** 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!]]

''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 [[UnwantedHarem 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]].

''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. Instead of having one day to find his true love, the protagonist has 20 days to rack up enough Demon Buster points to help an angel meet her monthly quota. Missions are divided up into Main, Side, and Free missions- main being about the main story, side being interactions with important female characters, and free missions being given out by the various other female characters. Two missions can be performed each day.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: during the first boss fight on the "Angel and Demon" route ''and'' the FinalBoss of "Shinobu's Route" in ''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.

* ChargedAttack: In ''Double Peace'', holding down the attack button will cause a heart shaped aura to appear. Release the button to fire a powerful Pheromone Shot that has a radius effect, useful for striking multiple girls at once.
* ChickMagnet: The result of Tenzou and Houdai having been struck with too many Love Arrows (normally only one arrow is needed). This will wear off at sunset though. [[FromBadToWorse However, it's more than likely they'll never find a girlfriend if they don't by then.]]

* CombatTentacles: As expected, in both games you face off against a boss who fights using tentacles.

** In ''Double Peace'', Shinobu takes your decision to "play a drum solo on her butt'' surprisingly well (saying it's not her type of thing).

* CriticalHit: Shooting a girl in a "weak spot" (that is different for each one) such as the breasts or their privates will result in an "Ecstasy Shot" that [[OneHitKill incapacitates them in a single shot.]]

* 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.]]

* EarnYourBadEnding: ''Double Peace'' has an ending for if you complete the Unseen Destiny route with 0% affection, which is, apparently, much harder to do than it sounds. That said, it isn't really much of a bad ending since [[https://youtu.be/KA8bAZhftOU?t=2m20s the devs decided to throw you a bone for going through the effort]].

* GuideDangIt: Finishing Chiru's side quest in 2 causes her to disappear until the final day. Since she's the one responsible for upgrading your gear, this means you're SOL if you haven't gotten any of the upgrades yet.
* HaremEnding: In ''Double Peace'' you don't have to just go with one girl; sometimes, you can pick multiple girls.

* 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 ecstasy. Special note goes to Doki Doki mode, however, where you can cause girls to ''explode'' with ecstasy and taking out everyone else around them.

* NewGamePlus: In ''2''. You start over with everything you unlocked in the previous playthrough- weapon upgrades, sweets, room decorations, even your score transfers to the new 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.]]
* OffscreenTeleportation: Girls frequently appear in places where they couldn't have gotten so quickly. It happens quite frequent that the player clears a room, looks away just for a few second, and suddenly it's full of girls again.

* 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.

* WeaponsThatSuck: The Demon Sweeper in ''VR/2''. Initially it just sucks up the Mini-Kurona demons, but once upgraded it gains the power to also [[TheNudifier suck girls' clothes right off them]].

* WidgetSeries: A first-person rail shooter where you shoot girls with pheromones to incapacitate them?

** Once you've met the prerequisites for an ending in ''Gal*Gun 2'', you can choose to skip straight to the final day.

** In ''VR/2'', love interests Chiru and Nanako each have two routes. There's also an ending with angel partner Risu, and a HaremEnding.

* YearOutsideHourInside: When you pay into the donation box in the School Store, Aoi begins discussing with you the band's tribulations. However, the way they're framed, like discussing a concert in the gym, this is a rapport occuring over several WEEKS, and Houdai leaving with her is a RelationshipUpgrade.

* HaremEnding: In ''Double Peace'' you don't have to just go with one girl; sometimes, you can pick multiple girls. ''Gal*Gun 2'' offers something similar.

* AllWomenAreLustful: Thanks to '''at least sixteen normal cupid arrows''' in the first game and that overcharged cupid arrow in ''Double Peace.''
