On rail shooters are a genre that have been steadily going down hill over the years. Gone are the console releases of classics such as Time Crisis and Point Blank that were both exciting and engaging. Now days we are welcomed with the release of games such as Gal Gun which is a bit of a curve ball for the genre and even fans of the niche in general.

Although I may not be the target audience for Gal Gun, I cannot see how the game has managed to secure a western localisation. It begs me to question why as some amazing titles such as Gundam Breaker 3 are limited to an Asian release and bed for a localisation in the West. It is a question that will be playing through my head for many years to come I am sure, but I just don’t see the market or the money from having Gal Gun come to the PS4 Europe and USA side.

What are your thoughts on Gal Gun getting a western release? Do you think there are other games more deserving? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
