Gal*Gun Returns: Birthday Suit Edition

About

Gal*Gun Returns: Birthday Suit Edition is a shooter with a side of fan service. You control a student navigating a school setting while shooting enemies and collecting items. The gameplay mixes top-down shooting with light puzzle elements and visual novel-style scenes. Combat is straightforward but flashy, with upgrades that let you customize your loadout. The story is light, focusing more on action and character interactions than deep narrative. The Switch version plays smoothly, with controls tailored for handheld or docked play. This edition is all about the physical collectibles. The package includes a 136-page art book, three CDs of music, six metal pins, and a 10th-anniversary medal. There are also art cards featuring in-game visuals and a pair of novelty safety goggles. The reversible cover for the Switch physical disc is a nice touch for collectors. Released in 2021, it’s a niche pick for those who want a tangible package. The game itself has a 72% on Metacritic, with fans appreciating its over-the-top style more than critics. Not for everyone, but the bundle offers value for dedicated fans.
