PQube announced it will bringGun Gun Pixiesin North America and Europe in 2019, on Switch and PC via Steam. The game first released in Japan on PS Vita, in April 2017.
As explained in one of the trailers we coveredback in 2017,Gun Gun Pixiesstars two aliens from Pandemo, a technology-advanced planet whose civilization is on the decline because they stopped caring about human relations, so their birth rate plummeted. The two alien protagonists go to earth in a girls' school dorm to try and get data on how relationships work to save their planet. As the two alien girls are much smaller in size than humans, they can easily spy on them, collect coins in the rooms, and shoot the small enemies hindering them. But at the same time, they’re highly vulnerable and need to be careful not to get squashed by the girls.
There are five girls the aliens need to observe, and if they’re about to get discovered, most of the time, they can pose as if they’re anime figures to trick them.Gun Gun Pixiesis basically a third-person shooter + infiltration game with a dose of sexual fanservice. you’re able to see that in one of thegameplay trailers.The game has a photo mode too.
Gun Gun Pixieswas published by Compile Heart in Japan, and the game was developed by Shade, the studio who makes theBullet Girlsgames. As suchGun Gun Pixies' gameplay is very similar toBullet Girls.Bullet Girls1 and 2 were on PS Vita, while the third gameBullet Girls Phantasiawas on PS4 and Vita. None of them released outside Japan, so it’s pretty surprising to see thatGun Gun Pixieswill, and 2 years after its Japanese release.Bullet Girls Phantasiadid receive an English release though, through theAsian version of the game.
Gun Gun Pixies' chara designer is Katsuyuki Hirano, who handled the character design on theSpectral Soulsseries, theAgarest Senkiseries, and ofMoero Chronicle.
PQube also published a trailer for the game which you can find below. The Day One Switch version ofGun Gun Pixieswill include an artbook, you can check the details on theofficial site.
