There are several points on the map where you can move. I thought I knew what I was getting into with Gal Gun: Double Peace.If you are able to withstand the attack of all the demons, you will clear the stage.Search MissionsRequests with a gift icon are “Search Missions,” in which the objective is to find items hidden somewhere on the map. I was expecting a silly, pervy rail shooter that didn’t take itself too seriously at all, and while that’s certainly what I got, I wasn’t expecting a game that was so clever and subversive in its approach. More than just a really good, ridiculous rail shooter, this is a pointed satire of erotic games and a welcome critique of gaming’s obsession with violence. Gal Gun: Double Peace opens with the painfully average high school boy Houdai being shot with a cupid’s arrow. However, the distracted angel messes up, and so instead of some regular-strength arrow, Houdai’s struck by a supercharged one.
The end result? He’s now irresistible to every girl in the school, but he has to confess to his true love by sundown or he’s cursed to be forever alone. Never mind how hard it is to profess your love for someone anyway, but Houdai has the additional hurdle of being constantly swarmed by girls yelling admiration and trying to grab him, give him love letters, kiss him, and in some cases, even torture him. Luckily, the angel gave him a way to defend himself: a magical gun that shoots “pheromone shots”. A few of these, or a well placed “ecstasy shot”, is enough to make any girl collapse in a fit of euphoria, giving Houdai a chance to get away. Which brings us to the first of many factors that makes Gal Gun: Double Peace such a brilliant game.
It’s a rail shooter, like Time Crisis, House of Dead and the like, but instead of bad guys and zombies, your enemies are cute anime girls. Instead of killing your assailants, you’re effectively giving them orgasms so good that they’re left unable to move. This alone puts Gal Gun: Double Peace in an interesting (and often hilarious) position, but it’s also really refreshing to play a shooter that doesn’t have violence as a thematic core.
