Bullet Girls 2 (バレットガールズ2 Baretto Gāruzu 2) is a third-person shooter video game for the PlayStation Vita developed by Shade and published by D3 Publisher. It is the sequel to 2014's Bullet Girls, and, similar to the first game, it is a shooter with erotic and fanservice elements as well as additional content and features not present in the original. The game was released in Japan on April 21, 2016.

Gameplay

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 a new "panty-seeing feature" and 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]

Development and promotion

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]
