Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX

Take a series I already like, made by devs I already respect, starring a character I already love, then refine the HELL out of that character and make the gameplay absolutely insane. Needless to say, I love this game and it's easily my favorite in the series, if you like the Gunvolt series then this game's definitely cool as well. Play it.

Lwk peak game, tho if you wanna play on contoller you have to change the keybinds to it being the ones for keyboard, took me about 20-30 min to figure out

I love this game. It's got so much style, I love the art direction; the characters are simple yet effective at making you understand how you're supposed to feel about them; and the character designs are just perfect, especially Ix, Lola and all the bosses. It's a shame this game doesn't have a tutorial because I didn't realize until much later how I'm REALLY supposed to play the game just because I accidentally held the dashed in front of a wall a little too longer than usual. But the game comes with a good ol manual so you'll figure it out still. I do feel like the EX Weapons makes the game feel too easy, and only a handful of them I would say actually are fun. But they're pretty much your main weapon when it's time for boss fights. The story is pretty simple, but as someone who has never played any Gunvolt games, just learning about the world lore and the state of this "future" was very intriguing to me. Plus I think the execution was quite well thanks to the wonderful voice acting in the characters; they really sell you their emotions well. Also the twists in the end was quite nice and smoothly delivered. I guess my only upset with this game is the fact that Acura's name had t…

Having played all of the Gunvolt games back to back, this felt like a godsend after the... GV3 that was GV3. It's basically GV concentrate, from the gameplay to the lore to the music, everything. Copen's gameplay is extremely smooth and they use the alternate timeline gimmick very well, even if the final boss is a little easy.

Very fun game. The Bullit feature that allows you to avoid taking damage, dash around, and reload are all fun features. Copen's quick movement is the highlight of the game and It's fun to just zoom around. The final boss is however a huge pain and a very large difficulty spike - especially if you've been cheesing your way through the rest of the game by abusing the bullit system.

playing this game smoothly on my school's low end pc while bros watching and said "this guy play a megaman-like game" is wild
