* ''Gundemonium'' (2003)

The plot of Gundemonium takes place in a [[Schizo Tech]] version of the 18th century where alchemy is a part of everyday life. In the year 1775, mankind found the Philosopher's Stones, dubbed Matrices, deep withing the Spring of Yord. Their discovery led to great advancements in mankind's technology, but these advancements came at a cost. The Spring of Yord was located within the infernal plane of Que Pholith, and the taking of the Matrices aroused the wrath of its inhabitants, the [[The Legions of Hell|Demonium]], who entered the human plane and started wreaking havoc on mankind. Some humans eventually learned to harness the power of the Matrices and use them to fight against the Demonium. These people were called Matrix Masters. However, not even them could completely stop the wake of the Demonium army. By the time the 7th wave of the Demonium army, called [[Title Drop|Gundemonium]], emerged from Que Pholith, humans created an artificial Matrix Master to try and turn the tables, using a human soul rather than a Matrix as energy source. This Matrix Master was called Elixirel, the Chrome Matrix Proxy.
 
However, the Demonium managed to kidnap Elixirel and [[Turned Against Their Masters|turn her against her creators]], making things ''even worse''. In the year 1785, in one last, desperate attempt to fight back the Demonium, mankind threw everything it had to try to recapture Elixirel. In particular, the organization known as Rosenkreuz Foundation sent its best agents in a special mission to penetrate the Demonium lines and recover Elixirel at all costs. Of all the agents sent, Eryth Millfall (And in Recollection, also a few [[Artificial Human|Artificial Humans]] based on Elixirel, the Earl Types) is the only one to survive the initial strike. [[ItsIt's Up to You|It's all up to her]] to recover Elixirel and drive Gundemonium out of Earth.
 
The direct sequel to Gundemonium, Gundeadligne, takes place 10 years after the events of the original, which were dubbed Operation Gundemonium. Eryth managed to kill Elixirel and recover her soul to undo the influence of the Demonium, and Gundemonium was successfully stopped, but the Demonium didn't stop their relentless assault on mankind. The elite of the Demonium army poured from the plane of Que Pholith and prepared to annihilate what remained of Earth and recover the Matrices. The Rosenkreuz Foundation planned a new counter-offensive. Many fighters and mercenaries of all kinds joined the effort, including Eryth, the Matrix Masters and the newly resurrected Elixirel. Their objective: Destroy the Spring of Yord, the power source sustaining the portal that linked Que Pholith with the human world. Will they manage to drive the Demonium out of Earth once and for all, or will mankind succumb to the all-powerful horrors that delve among the greatest soldiers of the army of Que Pholith?
Line 51:
* [[Call a Hit Point A Smeerp]]: In Gundemonium/Recollection and Gundeadligne, your hitbox is called 'Fatal Point'.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: In Gundemonium Recollection's ending, Eryth mentions someone named Rosa being the commander of the Rosenkreuz Foundation. Considering the hell Rosa Christofer went through in Hitogata Happa (Up to and including {{spoiler|being used by the person she thought as a friend as a pawn on a plan to gain unlimited power}}), it would make sense that she created the foundation to prevent a tragedy like that
* [[Do Well, butBut Not Perfect]]: To get to Elixirel Daath, you have to have an exact Ability Level, which is based highly on your number of Onslaughts, and therefore must actually let some groups of enemies escape. If you play the game prefectly for score, you'll actually have done too ''well'' to get to Daath. This only applies to the [[PS 3]] version, however.
* [[Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You|Eryth Millfall Is About To Shoot You]]: [http://www.deculture.es/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Gundemonium-Collection.jpg Rockin' Android's promotional artwork for the Gundemonium Collection] focuses quite a bit on Eryth aiming her pistols towards the 4th wall.
* [[Fan Service]]: Almost every single enemy in Gundemonium/Recollection and Gundeadligne that is not a [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]] is a naked, almost naked or tightly dressed girl with healthy curves. Among those, a high amount of them are bottomless bunnygirls either riding guns like they were witch brooms or mounted on flying motorbikes. And then there is [[Full Frontal Assault|XXX Lotus Blacker]].
