Oct 24, 2016 With a solid framework and a third entry planned, the Azure Striker Trilogy is currently shaping up to be one of the greatest hidden gems the 3DS has to offer. Rating: 4.0 - Great. Product Release: Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 (US, 09/29/16). Metacritic Game Reviews, Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack for Switch, Gunvolt is back and hitting store shelves for the first time in the new.
The Striker Pack contains higher-resolution versions of the two Azure Striker Gunvolt games, which released in 2014 and 2016 respectively for the 3DS. Additional content, such as DLC for Gunvolt 2 and new difficulties that were added to the PC version of the original, is also included. The easy mode makes Gunvolt 1 laughably easy; a boss that I spent multiple hours on in the 3DS original went down in roughly a minute in a run through the Switch version.
It’s a good way to catch back up with the story or if you skipped the second game last year, but it won’t last long. The hard mode in 1 turns the damage from spikes into instant kills and reduces Gunvolt’s HP in general if you’re feeling particularly masochistic.The core Azure Striker Gunvolt play is simple to grasp.

Gunvolt moves through side-scrolling environments and dispatches enemies by tagging them with a gun before blasting them with electricity. As more enemies are destroyed and Gunvolt can avoid getting hit, a “kudos” meter builds up that awards more points for special kills and resets at mid-level checkpoints. Destroying multiple enemies at once or firing the electricity in mid-air will help rack up the points.
Gunvolt 2 adds an alternate playable character named Copen, who has a more powerful gun but doesn’t have the electrical abilities by default. There is a chance to play as both of them in Gunvolt 2 before committing to one character, but I ended up sticking with Gunvolt.Unlike similar titles that Inti Creates has had a hand in previously, Gunvolt and Copen gain new powers by way of a crafting system. In theory this would work as a way of containing the abilities, but the parts are locked behind a post-stage random selection. Finding medals in the stages and finishing quickly or without dying gives more draws, yet I only managed to get enough parts for new kit in both games at the end game.
The core kit for both characters is strong enough, but I found it frustrating that these more potent abilities were virtually inaccessible for a good portion of the game.As would be expected for a pair of 3DS games, the Gunvolt titles look sharp in handheld mode. There was a bit of an adjustment period when playing on TV, as I had mostly played Blaster Master Zero in handheld mode so I wasn’t used to the pixels being enlarged for TV visibility. It’s especially notable in the first game’s credits. The music is not really noticeable until the Japanese pop idol overrides kick in, but those songs are a nice reward for the first game and serve as the DLC for the second title.Inti Creates’s first six months on Switch have been quite strong, and this package is keeping the streak alive. Some of the additional content may water down the experience, but both games at their heart are worth a look.

From 3DS to SwitchIn 2014 Azure Striker Gunvolt, a side-scrolling action platform game in the vain of Mega Man Zero, came to the Nintendo 3DS eShop. After a great deal of success, the series later received a sequel in 2016.Now, developer and publisher Inti Creates has brought both games to the Nintendo Switch as a part of the Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack. While bringing a game that was created for a smaller screen (two screens, in fact) might make for a difficult transition, I’m pleased to say that both games have transferred over beautifully. I was consistently surprised by how much I enjoyed these boss battles Levels, Enemies, Boss BattlesLike Mega Man, this game features a small set of levels complete their own enemies, bosses, and increasing difficulty. These levels can be played it whatever order the player chooses.
Unlike, most Mega Man games you may remember, Azure Striker Gunvolt adds another layer in allowing players to level up Gunvolt and even collect materials at the end levels, all of which make Gunvolt a more formidable protagonist.The boss battles at the end of each level offer a great deal of diversity and boy, can they can be incredible hard, too. Timing is essential, as is understanding how and when to use your abilities. Gunvolt can build up to more powerful attacks but once they have been used, you have to rely on his normal abilities. The game does have its hard moments, but nothing ever felt impossible. In the case it is too hard, you can switch difficulties to progress past those obstacles.About those subtitlesOne gripe I have about both titles is that because this is a Japanese voice acted game, subtitles are used at both the bottom and top of the screen. By doing that, much of the screen’s real estate is taken up and it makes seeing enemies difficult. I encountered this a great deal in boss battles, as these enemies talk to you while you are fighting them. Too often was I taking damage from unseen directions because the screen was partially obscured by subtitle text. I love that subtitles are in this game but my goodness, do they take up a lot of space.
Oh yeah, the Sequel!The sequel Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 features few changes in its gameplay mechanics but one big change is that you play as two different characters – Gunvolt and his rival Copen – a human with a more gun-based attack style – who must work together to solve the threat of a new enemy, Eden.Switching between these characters is a great feature that keeps gameplay fresh and really expands the game’s narrative. Copen especially feels different, and while that may seem a bit jarring after playing an entire game as Gunvolt, the gameplay smooths itself out and I was able to settle in with his control scheme.
A good buy?The art style and voice acting in both of these games is great. Every character contains a great deal of personality, and the story, while not intricate, is interesting enough to keep you moving forward to find out what happens next.I really enjoyed both games and I came away impressed with how well they both transitioned from 3DS to Switch.
The price for this pack is $40. Both of these games can be beaten pretty quickly but not easily. I spent about 10 hours combined to beat both. But the levels and boss battles are fun. The gameplay is solid. If this looks like your kind of title, I totally suggest you pick it up in the Switch eShop.
