Bullet Girls 2

Lore & Background

Story-wise, Bullet Girls 2 is a continuation from the first game. Aya Hinamoto encounters a pair of mysterious girls during a mission, and her advisor informs her of a mock battle against Elda Private Institute, leading to conflict between Elda and Aya's school, Misakimori Private Academy. Returning characters Aya Hinamoto and Ran Saejima are joined by new playable characters Rumi Yukishiro and Meiko Hoshikawa. The game is played from a third-person perspective.

Reader's Guide

Bullet Girls 2 was first announced in early December 2015, with details revealed in Weekly Famitsu. A six-minute trailer in February 2016 teased new characters and features, followed by a second trailer in early April and a third highlighting interrogation training. The game sold 17,224 copies in its launch week, charting fourth in the Japanese market. Four Famitsu reviewers gave scores of 8, 8, 7, and 7 out of 10, for a total of 30/40. Chris Carter of Destructoid noted that chances of a localization are 'slim to none.' Early customers received store-specific bonuses such as mouse pads and tapestries from retailers including Softmap, WonderGOO, Imagine, Anibro, Ami Ami, Rakuten Books, Neo-Wing, and HMV. The game's significance lies in its niche appeal as a fanservice-oriented shooter with expanded mechanics, though it remained exclusive to Japan.
