[Ecchi]Gal Gun Series

A shooter series with a light focus on ecchi and a big focus on humor, Gal Gun is one of the more unique games in the ecchi lineup. Each game features a high schooler suddenly getting immensely popular one day and needing to fend off hordes of girls while searching for his true love or risk being single for the rest of his life. In a way it’s a lesson on not taking the easy route through romance, in another way its a silly excuse for (kinda)attractive female zombies.

The Gal Gun series numbering is silly. You have the first game, just called Gal Gun on the PSP. That one is being remade and its new subtitle is Returns. Then you have Double Piece, the first English release. The third game is the VR game, simply called Gal Gun VR. Then you have Gal Gun 2, the fourth game in the series which is mostly just Gal Gun VR without the VR(and maybe a different story?).

I’m going to start with Double Peace as it was the first English release. Returns will be done after it comes out in short order to get what little word out that I can as its sales are very important to the ecchi market. Then 2 will happen when I get to it. VR isn’t happening for now. I don’t have a VR headset and not enough games require one that I want to play to make me consider getting one.

[Ecchi]Agarest Series

Ahh, the Agarest series. One of the worst marketing experiences I’ve ever had when it comes to what was promised and what the game is actually about. Agarest 1 was basically one of the earliest games I played that was about fanservice that wasn’t straight up porn, though the ads and marketing really pushed the fleshy side of the game more then the 100+ hour RPG side of it. My experience with the series only got more positive as I played through the later ones, the first game sapped any motivation I had to play it. Multiple times.

It’ll be a while before the entire series is here. The first game is stupid long and I have a hard time sitting down and devoting any real time to it, and because of save game bonuses you have to play the first three in order. Mariage, the final game, doesn’t have that limit because it was on the PSP, not the main consoles.

Agarest 1 and Zero are strategy RPGs, while Mariage and 2 are turn based.

[Ecchi]Shantae Series

Oh, Shantae. the hip wiggling, hair swinging, bikini clad half-genie. She’s the star of one of the better animated 2d metroidvania’s out there, and one of the few with a cute sexy aesthetic to the girls. Like seriously, every girl wears a bikini like thing and maybe pants. Half the enemies even follow the pattern. It makes sense, the games take place on mostly tropical islands where actual clothes would suck, but since every character has idle animations and the girls move a lot it’s very nice to look at.

Shantae is probably not a series most would think of when the topic of ecchi comes up, but hell. I wanted to play it so here it is.

[Ecchi] Senran Kagura Series

Ah, Senran Kagura. The poster child of fanservice games for like ten years, created simply because some Japanese man looked at the 3DS and decided 3D boobs should be a thing.

This series is well known for it’s overly busty ninja girls who shred their clothes off in battle. It’s also a decent character comedy with some drama thrown in, but most people ignore that for the T&A the games are full of, which is mostly done via the kinda bad character models in the gameplay as the stories and cgs don’t really aim to titilate for the most part. Of course, anyone playing this series is there for the titillation at least for some part. Which the game’s designers’ know full well, and is likely the reason the next game in the series will be the last because Sony.

This post will go through the entire series, with the games listed in reverse order. So newest release first. I’ll be playing basically everything, including Re;Burst and Burst because Re;Burst actually lessens the fanservice for Burst a lot more then I expected. I basically want to see every unique in game thing Senran has to offer that isn’t mobile exclusive.

At this point, only Burst, Burst Renewel, and Deep Crimson are left.
