* ActionBomb: The dolls in Hitogata Happa can throw themselves towards an enemy and explode ForMassiveDamage. Usually a requirement to beat bosses in time.

* WeHaveReserves: Standard player doctrine of Hitogata Happa. Compared to other STGs, lives are extremely plentiful, usually around 10 to 15 dolls, but they go down [[NintendoHard very fast]] as well, plus you are heavily encouraged to ram enemy craft with your dolls ForMassiveDamage - you WILL time out on bosses if you don't.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: The localized versions of Gundemonium Recollection and Gundeadligne are censored so that the [[{{Fanservice}} severe lack of clothing in certain characters]] is toned down to make the game more minor-friendly. In the PS3 release, it is on by default and can't be changed. The Steam release allows you to switch it on and off (off by default) via configuration file editing.

* DoWellButNotPerfect: To get to Elixirel Daath, you have to have an exact Ability Level, which is based highly on your number of Onslaughts, and therefore must actually let some groups of enemies escape. If you play the game perfectly for score, you'll actually have done too ''well'' to get to Daath. This only applies to the PS3 version, however.

** Michael and Alterweapon Mysty in Gundeadligne, as well as Phaser Axel in Gundemonium/Recollection qualify too, in that Alterweapon Mysty's carpet matches the drapes, Phaser Axel's chest is revealed in all its glory after 'casting off', and Michael is as naked as XXX Lotus. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), the localized versions, both for PS3 and PC (optional), are {{Bowdlerized}}: The sprites of these enemies have been recolored so that it looks like they are wearing bodysuits or at least the politically incorrect parts are slightly more covered.

The ''Gundemonium'' series is a trilogy of [[DoujinSoft doujin]] BulletHell [[ShootEmUp Shoot 'em ups]], originally made for PC by Japanese author Aeju Murasame (a.k.a. Platine Dispositif), the creator also behind ''VideoGame/BunnyMustDie''. The series consist of these four games:

* ''Gundemonium'' (2003), the series first entry.

However, the Demonium managed to kidnap Elixirel and [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters turn her against her creators]], making things ''even worse''. In the year 1785, in one last, desperate attempt to fight back the Demonium, mankind threw everything it had to try to recapture Elixirel. In particular, the organization known as Rosenkreuz Foundation sent its best agents in a special mission to penetrate the Demonium lines and recover Elixirel at all costs. Of all the agents sent, Eryth Millfall (And in Recollection, also a few {{Artificial Human}}s based on Elixirel, the Earl Types) is the only one to survive the initial strike. [[ItsUpToYou It's all up to her]] to recover Elixirel and drive Gundemonium out of Earth.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: The localized versions of Gundemonium Recollection and Gundeadligne are censored so that the [[{{Fanservice}} severe lack of clothing in certain characters]] is toned down to make the game more minor-friendly. In the PS3 release, it is on by default and can't be changed. The Steam release allows you to switch it on and off (Off by default) via configuration file editing.

* ContinuityNod: In Gundemonium Recollection's ending, Eryth mentions someone named Rosa being the commander of the Rosenkreuz Foundation. Considering the hell Rosa Christofer went through in Hitogata Happa (Up to and including [[spoiler:being used by the person she thought was a friend as a pawn on a plan to gain unlimited power]]), it would make sense that she created the foundation to prevent a tragedy like that.

** Michael and Alterweapon Mysty in Gundeadligne, as well as Phaser Axel in Gundemonium/Recollection qualify too, in that Alterweapon Mysty's carpet matches the drapes, Phaser Axel's chest is revealed in all its glory after 'casting off', and Michael is as naked as XXX Lotus. Unfortunately (Or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), the localized versions, both for PS3 and PC (optional), are {{Bowdlerized}}: The sprites of these enemies have been recolored so that it looks like they are wearing bodysuits or at least the politically incorrect parts are slightly more covered.

** Hitogata Happa's water stage's mid-boss and boss reference H.P.Lovecraft, being tentacled and appropriately named (Deep One and R'lyeh, respectively).

The plot of ''Gundemonium'' takes place in a SchizoTech version of the 18th century where alchemy is a part of everyday life. In the year 1775, mankind found the Philosopher's Stones, dubbed Matrices, deep withing the Spring of Yord. Their discovery led to great advancements in mankind's technology, but these advancements came at a cost. The Spring of Yord was located within the infernal plane of Que Pholith, and the taking of the Matrices aroused the wrath of its inhabitants, the [[TheLegionsOfHell Demonium]], who entered the human plane and started wreaking havoc on mankind. Some humans eventually learned to harness the power of the Matrices and use them to fight against the Demonium. These people were called Matrix Masters. However, not even them could completely stop the wake of the Demonium army. By the time the 7th wave of the Demonium army, called [[TitleDrop Gundemonium]], emerged from Que Pholith, humans created an artificial Matrix Master to try and turn the tables, using a human soul rather than a Matrix as energy source. This Matrix Master was called Elixirel, the Chrome Matrix Proxy.

''Gundeadligne'', a direct sequel to ''Gundemonium'', takes place 10 years after the events of the original, which was dubbed Operation: Gundemonium. Eryth managed to kill Elixirel and recover her soul to undo the influence of the Demonium, and Gundemonium was successfully stopped, but the Demonium didn't stop their relentless assault on mankind. The elite of the Demonium army poured from the plane of Que Pholith and prepared to annihilate what remained of Earth and recover the Matrices. The Rosenkreuz Foundation planned a new counter-offensive. Many fighters and mercenaries of all kinds joined the effort, including Eryth, the Matrix Masters and the newly resurrected Elixirel. Their objective: Destroy the Spring of Yord, the power source sustaining the portal that linked Que Pholith with the human world. Will they manage to drive the Demonium out of Earth once and for all, or will mankind succumb to the all-powerful horrors that delve among the greatest soldiers of the army of Que Pholith?

*** TrueFinalBoss: If you accomplish certain conditions there is one more boss waiting for you in all three games. In Gundemonium, it's Elixirel Daath, Elixirel's soul resisting transmigration even after her body has already died. In Gundeadligne, it's XXX Lotus Blacker, which is Matrix Lord Lotus, except [[FullFrontalAssault naked]] (Well, she's still wearing stockings, but...) and with fiercer attacks. In Hitogata Happa, it's [[spoiler:Kreutzer]].

* ContinuityNod: In Gundemonium Recollection's ending, Eryth mentions someone named Rosa being the commander of the Rosenkreuz Foundation. Considering the hell Rosa Christofer went through in Hitogata Happa (Up to and including [[spoiler:being used by the person she thought as a friend as a pawn on a plan to gain unlimited power]]), it would make sense that she created the foundation to prevent a tragedy like that
* DoWellButNotPerfect: To get to Elixirel Daath, you have to have an exact Ability Level, which is based highly on your number of Onslaughts, and therefore must actually let some groups of enemies escape. If you play the game prefectly for score, you'll actually have done too ''well'' to get to Daath. This only applies to the PS3 version, however.

* {{Fanservice}}: Almost every single enemy in Gundemonium/Recollection and Gundeadligne that is not a RidiculouslyCuteCritter is a naked, almost naked or tightly dressed girl with healthy curves. Among those, a high amount of them are bottomless bunnygirls either riding guns like they were witch brooms or mounted on flying motorbikes. And then there is [[FullFrontalAssault XXX Lotus Blacker]].

* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: In Gundemonium/Recollection, the difficulty levels are called Novice, Revised, Unlimited and Demonic. In Gundeadligne, they are called Novice, Standard, Advanced and Demonic. In Hitogata Happa, they are called Euridice, Nobilmente, Allemande and Doomsday. When you highlight Doomsday difficulty, an alarm starts buzzing ominously.

** The Matrix Masters have a title depending on the Matrix they use. There are six: Ruby Matrix, Sapphire Matrix, Emerald Matrix, Jet Matrix, Pearl Matrix and Diamond Matrix. Anyone with knowledge about Magic will realize that these are the five original Moxen, plus Mox Diamond. Made even more evident when you fight them in Matrix Orders mode, where they integrate jewels shaped like the Mox they represent into their attack patterns.

** Matrix Lord Lotus is a reference to, of course, Black Lotus. The names of her attack phases are also references to some of the cards that were based on Black Lotus, like Lotus Petal, Lotus Bloom, and Lotus Vale. Her XXX Lotus Blacker form is a reference to joke card Blacker Lotus, and the BGM that plays when you fight her is titled 'Lord of Power Nine', a reference to the moniquer the five original Moxen and Black Lotus receive along with a few other Magic cards forming a group of the nine strongest, with Black Lotus being the most powerful and desired.

** The games also have a tendency to Shout Out '''each other''' and other games made by Murasame. In Hitogata Happa, the unlockable doll Platina looks and acts like Matrix Lord Lotus, Fortuner is Eryth, Lovers is Elixirel and Fool is Rachel Millfall (The protagonist of Maid-san wo migi ni, a platformer made by Murasame in the style of the old Castlevania games). Among the standard dolls, Peco is a reference to the protagonist of Dicing Knight (A Real-Time {{Roguelike}} game Murasame made for the Wonderswan Color). In Gundemonium Recollection, the Earl Types are based on the Earl doll from Hitogata Happa.

** In Hitogata Happa, when the barrier covering a boss' weakpoint falls, you can hear Rosa say "Okay! [[DoDonPachi Just a couple more shots]]!"

** In the same game, Monica is a Shout Out to the {{Toku}} genre in general, since later on in the stage you fight her, she turns into a suited superheroine (Supervillainess?) called Phaser, complete with Cast Off SuperMode a la KamenRiderKabuto.

On June 14th, 2012, Rockin' Android released both the original and arranged soundtracks of the ''Gundemonium'' series in digital form as an added bonus for those who purchase the Steam Edition re-release.

** MarathonBoss: Elixirel in Gundemonium/Recollection has a whooping amount of '''11''' attack phases, one for each part of the Sephirot tree and each one having a full life bar to drain before the next one starts. Thankfully, the 11th and hardest, Daath, is the TrueFinalBoss, so most of the time you will only fight 10. Matrix Lord Lotus in Gundeadligne qualifies too, spending 3 phases as Primrose, then 4 phases as Matrix Lord Lotus, the last of which has '''3''' superposed life bars. And if you unlock the TrueFinalBoss, her phase as XXX Lotus Blacker adds 3 more phases in one lifebar, for a grand total of '''10'''. These girls give the {{Touhou}} girls a run for their money.

* MascotMook: Leaf heads, [[{{Touhou}} Yukkuri]]-like heads with leafs for hair that explode when you touch them, appear in most of Murasame's games in one way or another, as well as in the author's website.

The Gundemonium Series is a series of Indie BulletHell [[ShootEmUp Shoot 'em ups]], originally made for PC by Japanese author Aeju Murasame AKA Platine Dispositif, also the creator of ''BunnyMustDie''. Currently four games exist in the series:

* ''Gundemonium'' (2003)
* ''Gundeadligne'' (2004)
* ''Hitogata Happa'' AKA ''Gundemonium Episode 0'' (2005), the oddball in the series in that, where the others are {{Horizontal Scrolling Shooter}}s, this one is [[VerticalScrollingShooter vertical]].
* ''Gundemonium Recollection'' AKA ''RE: Gundemonium'' (2007), a remake of Gundemonium with upgraded graphics and additional gameplay.

The plot of Gundemonium takes place in a SchizoTech version of the 18th century where alchemy is a part of everyday life. In the year 1775, mankind found the Philosopher's Stones, dubbed Matrices, deep withing the Spring of Yord. Their discovery led to great advancements in mankind's technology, but these advancements came at a cost. The Spring of Yord was located within the infernal plane of Que Pholith, and the taking of the Matrices aroused the wrath of its inhabitants, the [[TheLegionsOfHell Demonium]], who entered the human plane and started wreaking havoc on mankind. Some humans eventually learned to harness the power of the Matrices and use them to fight against the Demonium. These people were called Matrix Masters. However, not even them could completely stop the wake of the Demonium army. By the time the 7th wave of the Demonium army, called [[TitleDrop Gundemonium]], emerged from Que Pholith, humans created an artificial Matrix Master to try and turn the tables, using a human soul rather than a Matrix as energy source. This Matrix Master was called Elixirel, the Chrome Matrix Proxy.

The direct sequel to Gundemonium, Gundeadligne, takes place 10 years after the events of the original, which were dubbed Operation Gundemonium. Eryth managed to kill Elixirel and recover her soul to undo the influence of the Demonium, and Gundemonium was successfully stopped, but the Demonium didn't stop their relentless assault on mankind. The elite of the Demonium army poured from the plane of Que Pholith and prepared to annihilate what remained of Earth and recover the Matrices. The Rosenkreuz Foundation planned a new counter-offensive. Many fighters and mercenaries of all kinds joined the effort, including Eryth, the Matrix Masters and the newly resurrected Elixirel. Their objective: Destroy the Spring of Yord, the power source sustaining the portal that linked Que Pholith with the human world. Will they manage to drive the Demonium out of Earth once and for all, or will mankind succumb to the all-powerful horrors that delve among the greatest soldiers of the army of Que Pholith?

The third game in the series, Hitogata Happa, is a prequel of sorts. 20 years before the discovery of the Matrices, the Genoremasody Reich reigns supreme over East Prussia. With their superior technological and military power, they have started expanding over the country, destroying everything in its wake. In the middle of this chaos, a girl named Rosa Christofer struggles to survive, having lost her home and her family to the Reich's army. One fateful day she meets Kreutzer, a mysterious girl with a surprisingly high knowledge in the scientific and alchemical arts for her young age, who has created an array of flying dolls with special weapons.
