If you've ever seen footage of Gal Gun: Double Peace, then you'll know why we put the word 'risqué' in the headline. The shoot-'em-up sees you blast away infatuated schoolgirls with the power of love against colourful backdrops, and for some, it's bound to be one step too far into the realm of weird, but at least we're seeing an influx of niche Japanese titles actually being released outside of their homeland. The more the merrier, right?
Currently, Inti Creates is on the lookout for a Western publisher so that the game can head overseas. Once things are finalised, localisation of the release will begin - although there's no telling just yet if any specific parts of the shooter will be removed in the process. You can probably expect the title to launch at some point next year.
Is this one on your radar, or is it a bit too detached from your tastes? Shoot down those who would stalk you senseless in the comments section below.

Yeah, I think I'll pass on this one.
You know what... I kinda enjoy rails shooters. And it's not like anyone else is making one. So...
I think it all depends on the tone. If it's irreverent and a bit tongue-in-cheek about it then I could probably stomach it.
A publisher will definitely pick it up, either way.
@get2sammyb I looked at some footage on YouTube out of curiosity and I don't think I could play even half an hour, it's just to crude for me and if they kept the current voices I'd probably get a headache after 10 mins plus tenticle creatures are a no go for me.
I don't hate these kinds of games out right provided there is some kind of good game underneath it all but this just doesn't seem to be the case.
@get2sammyb The last rail shooter I can remember is Rambo: The Video Game shudder so I think it's time for a good one to come out
@Anchorsam_9 There's also Blue Estate, it came out after Rambo.
On the one hand, it's great to see games that, even five years ago, would have -never- been localised get Western releases. On the other hand, I don't see this being the kind of thing retailers would even bother to stock in the event of a physical release, so I guess that resigns it to Digital-Only and makes me wonder why Inti doesn't just self-publish on the PSN store.
... I'd probably buy it either way, I have basically every other weird Japanese game localised for the PS4 at this point.
Hilarious
Gals Panic was my favourite 😁😁😁....
