I anime gun games especially with badass chicks. However, I am annoyed that you have to play them online constantly. Are there any games that have an offline mode to play that's in the same genre as Anime girls with guns?l

goes to Steam, searches for items with tags "Anime", "Singleplayer", and "Shooter", type "Game" to exclude bundles, sorts by "User Reviews"

https://store.steampowered.com/search?sort_by=Reviews_DESC&tags=4085%2C4182%2C1774&category1=998&supportedlang=english&ndl=1

295 results match your search. 97 titles have been excluded based on your preferences.

That's not logged in, so I assume that the 97 probably have adult content or something that Valve defaults to not showing, so figure ~400 games.

EDIT: It looks like "Shooter" can also mean stuff like shmups or rail shooters. You may be interested in that, but if not, replacing the "Shooter" tag with the "FPS" (first-person shooter) tag:

https://store.steampowered.com/search?sort_by=Reviews_DESC&tags=4085%2C4182%2C1663&category1=998&supportedlang=english&ndl=1

Or the "Third-person shooter" tag:

https://store.steampowered.com/search?sort_by=Reviews_DESC&tags=4085%2C4182%2C3814&category1=998&supportedlang=english&ndl=1

EDIT2: Apparently and obnoxiously, Valve didn't make search URL links compatible between the mobile version of the site and the desktop version of the site. The above was from a desktop browser. But if you're on mobile, you can probably recreate the search by adding the same tags.

I've heard, from credible creators, that Neon White (the first game from the first list) is superb. So that might be an interesting first try.

[–] lath@piefed.social 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bayonetta of course.

[–] mohab@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not even joking but the second I read the name the theme kicked in in my head: Bayonetta, you mystery 🎵

I love this game so much and I'll always defend it against all the eye candy accusations. I wholeheartedly believe if you spend any time trying to play this game the way it was meant to be played (guided by the manual and official guide) you'll never be able to see Bayonetta other than one of the most badass action game protagonists of all-time.

I’ll always defend it against all the eye candy accusations.

Why? What's wrong with the game being unashamedly eye candy?

ISTG I hate this entirely american puritanical "can't have fun sexy things" horseshit.

The character design is literally Kamiya and Nakamura's fetish fuel, they themselves reported vibing super hard on the character design and insisting sexy librarian glasses were a must.

It's one of the best action games of all time, its presentation is deliberately excessive in every way, that includes hypersexualization, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

you’ll never be able to see Bayonetta other than one of the most badass action game protagonists of all-time.

Also this implication that being a badass somehow overrides being hot? Excuse me? Since when? If there's anything that enhances hotness, that is hypercompetence.

Being incredible at something so effortlessly that you still look stunning while doing it is a force multiplier, not a contradiction.

People who don't play the game often accuse Bayonetta of being nothing but eyecandy, as if her sexuality is superfluous and has nothing to do with her being badass.

I don't really know what this has got to do with anything I said.

I didn't imply this.

Being incredible at something so effortlessly that you still look stunning while doing it is a force multiplier, not a contradiction.

I never said it is.

nothing but eyecandy

Not what you initially said.

I love this game so much and I’ll always defend it against all the eye candy accusations.

The implication was that being eye candy at all was in itself an accusation it needed defending from, which is where I extrapolated the rest.

Good if that wasn't what you meant, but this is an extremely common talking point so I don't think me coming to that conclusion was unwarranted from the context.

Excuse me for not knowing I was gonna be dealing with you in the comments. Seems like everyone else understood what I meant.

IDK, it's pretty obvious I'm a fan of the game… I literally say "I love this game so much" in my comment. Your coming to conclusion that I have any problem with Bayonetta's sexualization is pretty bizarre in that context. Kinda feels like you zoomed in on one part that didn't make sense to you and ignored the rest of my comment instead of rechecking your understanding.

You even went as far as bringing your personal vendetta against "American puritanical horseshit" into it for some reason? Even though the game is Japanese and you have no clue what my nationality is. Just odd all around, TBH.

Not a video game, but since I try to reference relevant Threadiverse communities when I can, if you're not aware of it, you might enjoy !militarymoe@ani.social.

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Subscribed! I didn't know I needed it.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Ah, that's where non-credible defence gets its source material...

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

TIL: anime is a verb, too.

[–] Noise7@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I’d suggest to look into Valkyria Chronicles (1 and onwards)

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

What kind of anime girls with guns game are you looking for specifically?

There is a pretty wide gap between a game like Arknights or Endless Alice and a game like Gal*Gun or Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash.

How old do you want the game to be? Is the strategy RPG Tuned Heart (1996) too old? Do the girls have to be the playable characters? What about genres, are Tower Defense or Bullet Hell games included?

Check out Cavalry Girls

[–] dariusj18@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Oni by Bungie

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Give Beyond Citadel a try

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

If you have 2 screens, you could just play a shooter on one and have hentai pulled up in the other. That should accomplish the same thing you're looking for.
