positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →EDIT: As of Patch 1.0.7, the flashing text issue is no longer relevant, so I removed that section of the review. The red and yellow strobing effect has been changed to a slow fade between red and yellow instead, which is MUCH better. Fantastic that they pushed an accessibility change in an update. EDIT 2: It is indeed possible to uncap the framerate through the magic of reverse engineering, but boss sequences and 2D elements update faster. The rest of the game doesn't seem to have much issues…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gal*Gun Returns isn't bad game. But since there is Gal*Gun Double Peace I just have to compare them and Double Peace is better game in every aspect. This game is remaster of first Gal*Gun game and Double Peace is sequel ... and it improved on the base game a lot. Let's start with what is good. The game is very cute and dialogues are very funny. However that is all. While GG Double Peace makes sure that you can hit girl's sensitive spots at any give moment, in this game you will find them…

THE GOOD: The story provides a lot of laughter The girls all look really good and are surprisingly easy to distinguish Doki Doki Carnival campaign fleshes out all the schoolgirls and faculty members very nicely Tons…

The only thing I've noticed different from original other than main song revamp is that there was a very cute poster for a game also released by Alchemist at the time is not present. Still 10/10 Akira is still best girl in the series. Yes! No! no no YES! All ALL NIGHT LOVE ME BABY!

Overall Rating - Seriously Flawed ★★☆☆☆ First Impressions Frankly, I knew nothing about this series coming into it, but there have been four games made for it thus far. Gal*Gun Returns (GGR) is a remake of the first game, which…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: It's a fun, charming game that made me smile and laugh quite a few times, just like the other games in the series. In my opinion, it really shows why these kinds of games do have a place in the industry, and why so many of us are upset with what some console platform holders are doing to them. The release of this game was a bit more hyped for many fans of this niche sub-genre than many other games. In a world where cartoon characters wearing bikinis are forced to be censored, but…

No. Patch Available? No, not necessary. Gal*Gun Returns is a lewd shooter game about uh. . . knocking school girls up with love? Oh wait, that sounds super wrong!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent shooter but very short, designed to be replayed to get all endings.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I completed 1 route in this game in 1 hour and 50 mins. At least 5 times I've said "I can't show this on Youtube", 3 times of "What the hell am I doing", 2 times of "I am degenerate" and 1 time "I'm in a great danger". Money well spent, and I enjoyed it...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is my least favourite game in the GG franchise. Since it is a remaster of the first GG game they ever made, everything is very barebones in gameplay features present compared to GGDP and GG2. The core shooting gameplay does not feel responsive, with fluctuating framerates and not all stages are 60FPS. Only recommended to get when on sale and if you are a huge GG fan and would like to support them. The game also contains many unreleased pictorial contents when they released it in JP. You…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Positives: - Attractive female characters. Negatives: - All the girls have the same body, just with different hair & clothes fitted on top. - Gameplay fell flat, at least for me.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's like playing House of The Dead but with cute girls.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, specially if you've played House of the Dead before. Basically the game is just "shooting" pheromones to your entire school, which consists on a very surprising percentage of 100% female students (except you, the last male human on the planet it seems). Story Mode has 4 routes, each of them with multiple endings that you couldn't care less, with the fun part of the game being on the actual shooting stages. Several good options to customize the students outfits, making a lot more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Replace bullets and blood with pheromone shots and cute girls, and you have Gal*Gun. Yes, you have to shoot at cute girls to tame them and avoid to be touched by them. GOOD: - Action Events are nice I guess - Repeating some scenes doesn't hurt as much as in previous versions - Many achievements to aim for - Overall an entertaining (yet bizarre) game NOT SO GOOD: - Less daring than in previous versions - Graphics and design could have been better
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- I thinks this is the worst part of series Gal*gun (if you are a fan, you will see when you playing) ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ FMV ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☐ Good ☑ Decent (2011 Graphic) ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☑ Good (I don’t think there’s much need to say more. Just see tag or trailer of this game... There’s no nudity or hentai here, just bras, panties and Ecchi screams. So if someone asks if this game is...? of course NO…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This happened to me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is too overthinked/overcomplexed for a rail shooter. To get a True ending, you need not only to choose right lines, but also carefully choose secondary girls, because they affect your stats, and that affect depends on the girl, not your shooting skills. I recomend you to play with ArtMoney or CheatEngine.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →why is this the series carrying on rails shooters.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My "Not Recommended" is based on the average buyer, not fans of the Gal*Gun franchise. There are two reasons to buy this game: 1 - You have never played a Gal*Gun game, you're interested in the franchise, and want to start at the beginning. 2 - You have played and liked later titles and, like most westerners, never got to play the JP only original and want to for completion's sake. There's nothing I say that will or should dissuade people in the latter category (of which I am a member) from…

It took ten years, but the original Gal*Gun is now available to fans worldwide. It comes in the form of a remaster and, as someone that plays a ton of these more questionable titles, I had to give it a look. Note: Had to trim review to fit character limit, check video for full version! Gameplay: So I’m just gonna be blunt and not sugarcoat things here: I did not enjoy my time with Gal*Gun Returns and it was…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →gal gun return is not a bad remaster. it is the first game of the franchise after all, new and updated graphics, much more characters and the old witty humour it is known for still pertains, right after double peace. however, since gal gun 2 released previously, features here didn't meet what people expect. the aiming in this game is bullsh*t. sometimes crit hit registers, sometimes supposed obvious crit breaks combo. they took out the save system. i had to go through the same duplicate…

Pros: -Fun arcade shooter -Occasional funny dialogue -A very appealing artstyle -Replay value -You can touch booba Cons: -Shooting girls with phermones in real life is not legal -Tissues don't seem expensive but the price adds up quick -You can't remove the girls' shoes/socks. That is all.

Camera angles aren't locked too, cuz there came a patch before that made you unable to peep at panties on xbox ver Haven't seen yet though if the underwater…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't know this game is the remaster (don't confuse with remake) of the original Gal*Gun 2011 i was surprised that this game was so... line up i guess? and it explains why some of the girls are missing the "true" choices was boring, not as one's on the other two games but the DDC was very fun tho~ so, i'd recommend to play "Gal*Gun: Double Peace" or "Gal*Gun 2" at first

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It´s a hillarious rail shooter. You have all your mojo of your life inside you released on one single day. You have four girls to confess your love to. But all the other school girls are after you so you have to keeo them away with a pheromone gun. Yes. It´s exactly as silly as it sounds. Lovable anime graphics, some lewd humor but don´t expect it to become anywhere near etchi stuff. It´s supposed to be fun. And it works well that way Expect 10 Hours until you have seen all the different…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GalGun Returns* is a remastered version of the original GalGun*, developed by Inti Creates. It updates the 2011 rail shooter with improved visuals, smoother controls, and additional content while maintaining its light arcade structure. The game focuses on shooting targets across branching routes in a first-person, on-rails format. Gameplay follows the standard rail shooter formula. The player automatically moves through levels, aiming and firing at incoming targets using either a controller or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR Summary: 100% hard recommend. Fun, cute/sexy, and appropriately challenging. However, if you're new to the Gal*Gun series, I recommend trying out [url=https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/14149/GalGun_Double_Peace_Ultimate_Edition/]Gal*Gun: Double Peace as your first game. If you already enjoyed Double Peace, I definitely recommend this prequel. I'm going to write this review from my personal perspective of a Gal*Gun addict who has 100% completed not only this game, but all of the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What is even the point of remaking Gal*Gun: Double Peace for it to look almost identical to the original, and then stamp it with a 50€ price tag? Okay, the graphical side is upgraded, but not by a lot to be honest. Aside from that side of things, the camera here behaves exactly as in Double Peace: erratic to simulate movement. If I had to choose between this and Double Peace, I'd choose Double Peace, just because of the price tag. (even when I didn't enjoy that game either)

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is awkward, and not just in the context of the story but in the gameplay itself. It’s a light gun game which I can appreciate but feels odd using a controller instead of… well a light gun. Since you are using a controller you will often have trouble getting all your shots in at the short windows you have to actually hit some of these speeding targets or your characters need to dart their eyes to other areas… let alone at the weak spots which aren’t well defined other than if you hover…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, GalGun Returns* is the kind of game you really don’t want to play with someone walking behind you. The premise is already insane: you're a regular high school guy who suddenly becomes ultra-popular with girls because of an angel's mistake, and now you have to "shoot" them with pheromone bullets to stop their love-crazed attacks. Yeah, it’s a rail shooter, but every “enemy” is a girl trying to confess her love in the most over-the-top ways. The gameplay is actually fun. You can’t move…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thank you Inti and PQube for not bending the knee and censoring this game after the demands of Sony and Xbox. So glad to have this finally in the west and in PC. I remember when I bought this game back as a joke to test the playstation move, and ended up hooked to it. As this was initially designed for a controller, it gets easier with a keyboard and mouse, so be sure to select the higher difficulty for more enjoyment. Also Patako best girl
