Established universe?

[Balic]

I'm getting the impression that this game takes place in an already established universe. If that is the case, anyone know where I can read up on it?

I'm glad this game made me play Gal*Gun

[Balic]

Gal Gun? Really? The description of that game says you play as a cupid shooting love struck girls with love arrows?!

[Big Damn Hero]

Not exactly, on most of the games you play as a guy that was shot by too many love arrows by accident by a particularily incompetent cupid, that's what causes most of the girls in the school to want a figurative piece of your character.

On the second game an extremely stupid demon girl that plays pranks is introduced, the school being transformed into a castle overrun by demons in this game is her latest "prank".

If you want the full story of the series, the games in chronological order are Gal*Gun Returns (a remake of the original that was never released outside of Japan), Gal*Gun: Double Peace, and Gal*Gun 2. Don't ask why 2 is the third game.

This isnt so much canon (probably) as it is inti creates merging what they learned from their bloodstained spin offs with two girls from gal gun who were established as "demon hunters"

The girls are basically just stand ins for a bit of cross promo. More of a cameo than anything.

The leads of this game are the heronies of Gal*Gun Double Peace. That's the game to play if you want to know where the characters were established

Boy you really have not played this game if you think the only gal gun thing about it is the player characters.

I mean, it basically is, its set in the high school in the loosest possible way, with past heroines appearing as nothing more than cameos really. With them sharing the same vililaness yes.

It is castelvaina with a few gal gun references for fans of the series, but nothing really critical. There's a reason gal gun is never actually mentioned on the store page. It's disconnected enough to the point where if you replaced the references you'd never know it was related at all.

Grim Guardians is a spinoff and the Azure Striker Gunvolt series is a distant sequel to GalGun (direct descendants of GalGun characters such as the Kamizono family, Kurona in the distant future assumes the identity of the maid, Nori).
IntiCreates has been building this universe since near the beginning.

*fourth game. Don't forget about Gal*Gun VR

Also definitely play Returns first and not Double Peace is my advice, it's more fun and the girls are better (sorry Shinobu and Maya)

edit: talking of Returns where's my best girl Patako at

Gunvolt is in the universe? Christ I didnt see that one coming.

[pokedude900]

Huh. Didn't know there was any connection to the Gunvolt series beyond Mighty Gunvolt and those decoration cameos in Gal*Gun 2.

I don't count Gal*Gun VR because it's just an early build of 2 without the story. They released it on Steam after Sony told them mid-development that the game couldn't have VR support on their platform.

That's fair enough justification, also I did not know that fact. Does Gal*Gun 2 not have any VR support on Playstation? Lmfao that's awful, especially given how obviously the game is designed for it

If you want you can technically connect most Inti Creates games into one timeline.

Bloodstained Curse of the Moon has a Gunvolt reference in one of its endings implying that Gunvolt is in the distant future, Gal Gun has connections to Gunvolt with Copen being a Kamizono descendant and Nori being Kurona, wouldn't be surprised if Dragon Marked for Death is also somehow connected to Gunvolt with its Sumeragi sword unlockable and the Dragon connection with Gunvolt 3 (but thats stretching it at the end but who knows). Blaster Master Zero has also connected with Gunvolt iX2 where a character there travels dimensions to fight with Copen in a DLC boss and Copen is given his blaster rifle in the main story itself.
