You can read the rest of the blog post here. If you can handle how fanservice-y the game is, it's pretty fun to play. It's also on sale right now on Steam too. The game looks like it didn't sell all that well in Japan, so an overwhelmingly large portion of the sales seem to be from the west which is kind of interesting.

That's great to hear! I hope they will continue releasing this games in the west. It's a fun little rail shooter.
How about £15 at base.com?

"Fan servicey" is under selling it a bit there OP.
Gal*Gun is a perfect example of taking something really stupid and putting so much effort into it that it kind of works anyway. It's a lewd game, like really lewd, and the concept is flat out ridiculous. Also the skill shot, combo streak, and smart bomb mechanics are downright solid both for playing casually and for score runs.
That 80 DLC for X-Ray goggles is suspect, though. And yes, it does what you think.

I originally bought this game because I abhor overly sexualized titles, but purchase them in an attempt to understand the mindsets. (It makes me remarkably uncomfortable but usually makes for good commentary when I stream it to some friends.)
I also normally find that the games have really solid gameplay! A perfect example is Senran Kagura. Much like that game, this one surprised me at how fun it was. Outside of the "Am I genuinely looking at panties of underage girls?" moments, the cheeky humor and remarkably aware plot was actually quite enjoyable.
It ended up not being AS a creepfest as I suspected... though you will still have to wash some of the grime off. This may be acceptable to most.
The only real downside is the gameplay is fairly simple and may turn off most players who don't "get it".

Not worth importing. I'll wait until it gets a sale in America.

If people could get over what they think is "creepy" about it, it is a fun game. I found it to be quite addicting when I played it, and found myself going back multiple times to get all the different endings, and trying to fill out the information of all the different girls.

Yeah, I wish the game was just "fan-servicey" and cute, I could get behind a silly mobs-of-swooning-girls game. The perverted stuff though, the kind of stuff that gave it an M-rating, makes it hard to root for its success.
Good on a sex-oriented game on a major platform being a strong hit, I suppose, but I would have preferred things be a little more well-rounded, or something like that...
I got it on Vita and found it to be pretty charming. Its too ridiculous and over the top for me to take it seriously and get all offended about. I'd like to see a version of this where the women are all college age or older and they try to make it a bit sexier or more scandalous. I think that could be interesting and fun. If I have one beef with the game its that some of the characters just look very young and I just don't really dig on that. I think I'm just too old to appreciate seeing some 15 year old's undies. Now if I were back in high school like I imagine the intended audience to be, that'd be a different story and it probably wouldn't bother me.
Sometimes I think about buying the PS4 version before it eventually gets hard to find, but I didn't love the game *that* much to double dip. It is one of those games that will be interesting to look back on some years down the road, and the Vita version doesn't support PSTV, so maybe I'll end up with another copy afterall, but I also think that maybe if I were that serious about it I'd have just done it already. Definitely one of gaming's anomalies though.

They just released their best yet last year, give 'em some time.
guess they didn't need those New Zealand sales after all
