SHINOBU, MAYA & KURONA RETURN!
The elder Kamizono sister, Shinobu has a higher health pool so that she can withstand more attacks and act as your tank on the battlefield. She also has her trusty anti-demon submachine gun for long-ranged attacks which will be useful for taking out enemies at a distance!
Younger sister Maya uses a sword for close-ranged attacks, and can also create powerful weapons out of origami! Her special protective barrier ability will prove useful despite her lower overall health. Maya’s ability to crouch under smaller spaces will prove useful to get to hard to reach areas!
Kurona, the demon-in-training, has found a way to turn the entire school into a demonic castle, imprisoning your classmates inside! To pass her exams, she causes trouble in the human world, but keeps being thwarted in her attempts! Maybe this will be her perfect revenge?
SAVE THE STUDENTS FROM THE CASTLE’S DEMONS!
As you progress through the game, you will find fellow students that have been trapped inside the castle. Save classmates that you may recognise from the Gal*Gun series, such as bunny-eared shopkeeper Aoi and the fiery Akira! Defeat bosses to free them from the castle and also obtain brand-new sub-weapons to advance.
Make sure you explore every nook and cranny as you search for the missing students and open up new routes!
