The game was released in Japan on April 21, 2016.

Gameplay

[edit]

Similar to the first game, Bullet Girls 2 is a shooter video game with erotic elements.[2] It is a full sequel, and incorporates additional content including new characters, new actions, as well as systems that "users have been waiting for".[3] This includes an expansion to the "interrogation training" feature which premiered in the first game,[3] where users "extract critical information from the opposing side", but is mostly just touching and groping the girls[4] using various items.[5] Also present is an enhanced interrogation mode allowing the player to interrogate two girls at once.[6] Players are able to remodel and level-up in-game weapons in order to increase their performance. Additionally, certain weapon types work better with certain girls.[5] There are also numerous outfits for the girls that can be equipped, including a mask worn by Full Frontal from Mobile Suit Gundam,[7] ultimately amounting to over 14,400 different combinations.[8]

Numerous battlefields can be played on, including a Shimakaze map where the girls fight on top of a battleship.[9] Similar to the first game, Bullet Girls 2 revolves around a group of girls belonging to the "Ranger Club", a school organization which trains members in defensive tactics. Players control the girls and battle with weapons to counter enemies.[10] Characters Aya Hinamoto (voiced by Mao Ichimichi) and Ran Saejima (voiced by Eriko Matsui) return from Bullet Girls with additional characters Rumi Yukishiro and Meiko Hoshikawa being newly playable.[11] Story-wise, Bullet Girls 2 is a continuation from the first; Aya encounters a pair of mysterious girls during a mission, and her advisor informs her of a mock battle against Elda Private Institute, leading to Elda Private fighting Aya's own school Misakimori Private Academy.[10] Bullet Girls 2 is played from a third-person perspective.[11]

Bullet Girls 2 was first announced in early December 2015, with additional details being revealed in the December 17 issue of Weekly Famitsu.[3] A six-minute trailer was published in February 2016, where new characters and additional game features were teased.[12] A second trailer was also revealed in early April, where further game modes and characters were introduced.[11] An additional third three-minute trailer was released shortly after, were the game's "Interrogation Training" features were highlighted.[13] Numerous screenshots of the girls in different costumes were also shown.[7]

Bullet Girls 2 was released on April 21, 2016.[12] The game has only been announced for Japan only, and Chris Carter of Destructoid noted that chances of a localization are "slim to none."[2]
