Gal*Gun 2 Reviews
Gal*Gun 2 will once again grab the headlines for all the wrong reasons, but what those will fail to tell you is that the underlying experience isn't worth any sort of price to begin with. Once the perverse novelty wears off, you're left with a bare-bones shooter that sorely needs to come off the rails it is tied to if it wants to create any excitement.
Gal*Gun 2 is a very shallow game that has a decent story underneath some braindead gameplay.
Gal*Gun 2 is a sequel that improves the gameplay of the first title but that is not enough to make it a worthwhile follow up.
Sadly, Gal Gun 2 seems to be nothing but a watered-down version of Gal Gun.
Gal*Gun 2 is a subversive on-rails shooter that toes the line of decency with every step. Even if you can look past its questionable content, you're still left with a rather boring game.
If you're some sort of incel who finds underage anime girls enticing then by all means, give Gal Gun 2 a try.
Even looking past the game’s sordid perversions, Gal*Gun 2 never becomes as entertaining as it needs to be to hold your attention for long. In many ways, that’s a shame as, while the game’s erotic nature may be an immediate turn off to some, it exists in an uncontested genre on Nintendo Switch.
Overall, Gal*Gun 2 just feels like a step back from its predecessor. Double Peace took the perverted premise of these games and utterly ran with it, creating a hilariously awkward game with some relatively strong shooting mechanics that didn’t overstay their welcome. Gal*Gun 2 feels like it removed the game’s heart in order to replace it with more shooting stages.
This is a 12-year-old's (and beyond) sexual fantasy, and a pretty "safe" one at that - and that's fine. Unfortunately, the game attached to it all is a bore, as Gal*Gun 2 is nothing more than a mediocre, on-rails - sort of - shooter of no importance.
Gal Gun 2 is not an original game but a non-VR version of GAL*Gun VR, with the addition of a story mode, but the controls and gameplay mechanics are not adapted to a 2D TV screen game. Disappointing.

Gal*Gun 2 offers an on-rails shooter experience that gets very familiar and repetitive far too quickly, without ever really providing enough content to keep you hooked. The pure fantasy element of the scenarios at hand is certainly the selling point, but the gameplay that surrounds it isn't strong enough to justify a purchase. If you're a fan of the series' earlier titles, or if the art and plot appeal to your tastes, you'll likely get something from the game, but anyone looking for great gaming action will likely be pretty disappointed.
Gal*Gun 2 feels the same as its predecessors with its visual novel style and its rail shooter gameplay with students that do not wear many clothes. This game is for a very specific group of players.

Anyways, I’ve rambled on long enough; so whats the verdict? Well, I think for the fun romp it is, Gal Gun sure has a lot more to offer from it’s previous entry. I think that if this series wants to go on, however, it needs to just have better feeling gameplay to keep people engaged… And though the story isn’t something Shakespearean, it certainly gets the job done in a silly and harmless manner.
Gal*Gun 2 is a weird Japanese release, and one that will not be to the taste of everyone, given its core context. I play a lot of different games and thought that while the violence in this game isn't graphic, the base mechanic has an odd-aftertaste for an American audience. If you're interested in this type of release, then you might have fun if you can get past what you see at first.
I'm not trying to be a social justice warrior here; I'm just saying that poking at the half-naked bodies of minors is creepy. The rest of the game is fine, and maybe there's a dialogue tree that avoids those creeper parts; I don't know. If that stuff makes you uneasy, I'd avoid this waifu game.
Gal*Gun 2 may be absolutely shameless, but those with an open mind might get a kick at how off-the-wall it is. It can get somewhat repetitive, but those with a taste for cheesecake may enjoy their time with this title, however short it may be.
Where Gal*Gun 2 is amusing and an on the nose VR experience might make it more appealing, it's hard to find a reason to play besides the underline concept. This likely won't come as a surprise, the first game was like this too, it comes down to if your desire to play something like this. Because, if you don't care for the novelty, there is absolutely nothing of note here.
Gal*Gun 2 is as niche as niche can be, bordering on eroge at times. It's repetitive, it's silly, but damn if it isn't fun to kill some time with, especially since it's in a portable package on the Nintendo Switch.
It's sad that the gameplay is really weak. Perhaps in the next game developers will be able to offer a slightly more diverse story and sets of mini-games, but for now we have a very average shooter that exploits the same idea with sexy girls and anime cliches for six hours of playing time.
