Gal*Gun: Double Peace Reviews
Instead of being fun to play, Gal Gun Double Peace focuses entirely on half naked schoolgirls.
Shameless like a boob tube but about a billion times less interesting, Gal*Gun: Double Peace is a bad rails-shooter that tries tirelessly to get a raise, only to leave you feeling limp and agitated. If firing pheromones in the faces of overly appreciative schoolgirls is the kind of thing that turns you on, then consider giving Net Nanny her marching orders instead.
For a game about a guy who shoots girls with “pheromone shots” until they climax, Gal Gun: Double Peace sure is boring.
Gal*Gun Double Peace is certainly a title that’s not for everyone, but if those titulating screenshots get your heart going ‘doki-doki,’ you’re exactly the kind of person that Double Peace was made for.
Gal*Gun: Double Peace has a surprising amount of heart for a game that has its head lodged firmly in a gutter full of panties. The characters are likable, the plot is goofy in its seriousness, and the premise is so over the top that I couldn’t help but laugh. Sadly, the gameplay simply doesn’t hold up its end of the bargain. This on-rails shooter is too simplistic and doesn’t do a good job of keeping the gameplay feeling fresh.
Gal*Gun Double Peace makes the jump to the Nintendo Switch fully intact and slightly undressed. Whether flinging pheromones at frisky schoolgirls on your TV or in handheld mode, the game runs well and its vibrant visuals, while not particularly detailed, still manage to pop off the screen the same way they did when it was first released in 2015. Solid performance aside, however, just how much enjoyment you’ll get out of this risque rail shooter depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re already a fan of the franchise and itching for more fanservice-filled firefights, you’ll undoubtedly find those here. However, if you’re looking for a satisfying shooter that will test your reflexes with thrilling boss battles and exciting locales to blast your way through, I’d probably wait for The House of the Dead: Remake to shuffle its way onto the Switch instead.
The title offers everything that a good rail shooter must offer: a solid gameplay, a certain difficulty, and many elements to collect. However, it recycles a lot of ideas from its predecessor.

Gal Gun: Double Peace knows its audience, almost too well. Its entertainment factor is centred around crass perversion dressed up like a Saturday morning kid's cartoon; and, if anyone attempts to tell you it's a play on satire addressing the difficulties Japanese women face in a largely sexist society, feel free to laugh loudly in their face. That said, this is admittedly more of a game - and an altogether better game - than most that fall into the ecchi category. While simplistic, there's nothing particularly broken about it, and its Expert Mode does offer a playable enough game to be mildly involving. But, if you don't have a particular affection for its window-dressing, there's not a great deal here to keep rail-shooting fans engaged.
The artwork is simply stunning, so fans of Japanese animation or games in general have something to come for. Unless you’re a hardcore genre fan, it may also go far enough to scratch your rail shooter itch. If then you’re also allured by the story and getting to intimately know all of the main cast members, then I think you’ll love this game. Again, it’s packed to the brim with Japanese fan service which I myself generally love. In a sequel though, maybe it can add some interesting gameplay to supplement that.
We analyze one of those titles that could only come from Japan, Gal Gun Double Peace, one of those games that mixes two genres as diverse as can be visual novels and shooter on rails.

Gal Gun Double Peace is an enjoyable rail shooter with a ridiculously hilarious premise.
Whether or not you’ll like Gal*Gun: Double Peace really depends on your tolerance of the material. This isn’t your typical shooter, and it doesn’t even have an abundant amount of substance, despite its theme. It’s got a decent presentation, and if you can get the hang of the concept (and maybe even try out a few character settings), you’ll get decent mileage out of it.
I possibly made Gal Gun: Double Peace sound worse than it actually is, by all accounts it’s actually a decent game. If you can look past the games blandness, you have a pretty decent on rails shooter that can actually be charming at times.
A unique experience that gets tedious very quickly but also one that should be experienced by anyone craving some mindless (but perverse) fun.
GalGun: Double Peace is an interesting videogame based on anime gal games, which also features the simplest plot ever. It's as enjoyable as repetitive and absurd.

Gal*Gun Double Peace is a bishōjo game that taps into this niche to make a surprisingly entertaining game but the limited control, skips in frame rate and interminable loading times make way for a slightly above average experience.
Gal Gun: Double Peace is a shooter with a curious premise, which offers the fantasy of a world where all the girls fall madly in love with the player. As a shooter in itself, it's not particularly grand or innovative, but the hilarious theme and assumed fanservice, full of slapstick humor and crazy situations, in addition to the large amount of content, make this an interesting title for anyone who wants to. play an unconventional FPS with a more “spicy” feel.

Gal*Gun Double Peace is definitely aimed at a niche group of gamers. But, if you’re tired of all the running and gunning with rivers of blood, Gal*Gun Double Peace could be the short break you’re looking for.
A fun but obviously niche title that throws players into a deeply ecchi experience that will satisfy fans of the genre, Gal*Gun: Double Peace is excellently made for what it is, and only really falls over when it comes to performance. A thoroughly weird, perverted, but ultimately hilarious game that is going to fit well into people's Switch libraries if they are a fan of this style of content.
