It's a package deal of the two iX games with mild adjustments. There's the new boss rush side modes which are cool as well as 120 FPS mode for iX1. Darkness Trigger in iX1 has a damage buff to the gun I believe and iX has the wheel boost + the ability to do the DLC bosses prior to the rest of the levels. [spoiler](iX1 lets you fight EX ??? first but that fight is so difficult I don't think it's worth the mild boost to Darkness Trigger's power)[/spoiler] Additionally, in iX2 they finally gave an explanation for the different control schemes for air dashing as before I don't know if it was even noticeable what the different between the two was. For people new to the series iX1 is GV2 Copen with slightly more tailormade level design, as the GV2 levels [spoiler](especially the postgame levels where you go to the other character's campaign minus the sewer level)[/spoiler] can be pretty abused by Copen's free movement. iX1 is a fantastic game. iX2 was divisive and pretty much removed Copen's legs and gave him a crutch in the form of the melee Razor Wheel. The melee is slow as hell, the lock-on projectiles aren't hitscan (instantly hit targets) anymore but you can mash the button for…3 found this helpful
A good collection of two great games. I already loved iX2 but the changes in this collection make it even better. The damage buff makes for better pacing, and in Hard mode you really have to work to earn it and you can lose it in a single hit, so it's a great reward for good play. Before, I hesitated to recommend iX1 because the port was pretty rough and I didn't love the game itself all that much, but this replay has given me a better appreciation for it and now the port is actually very good, so there's really no reason not to recommend it. I guess if there's one negative it's that Endless Battle is a little too intense and barebones of a mode. A difficulty toggle that used the normal versions of the bosses instead of the EX variants would be appreciated. Or a middle ground between freestyle and survival, where you get a money reward for every boss that you defeat so you can obtain skills as you go, or the opposite, a mode where you start with every skill and lose one every time you defeat a boss. As it stands, it feels like a mode that only the absolutely most expert players can get any enjoyment out of.2 found this helpful
Not any real changes besides FPS Ix 1 amazing (~$15) dlc (~$4) Ix 2 still offensive (~$25) decent value overall, you'll probably want more after ix 1 and buy ix 2 anyways1 found this helpful
=== YES??? But... === ===More of a NEUTRAL review.=== I'm very confused. First let me say that I thought this was the OG GunVolt series. (As I've never paid attention to INTI aside from Dragon Marked for Death.) So I certainly came in post that series, and apparently Ive been spoiled finishing the first game here in IX. How-the fakk-ever. How is there 0 world building at all? From the studio I love that gave me the MMZ series, (eat sh1t ZX) what am I playing? This game feels very, light in combat and depth. Even DMFD had a hub world of some sort. Bland Title Menu, Bland stage select. Bland World. Looking through the catalog of what INTI makes, it's really pathetic for them as a studio to spam random ass ideas for a game, and crap out...whatever the fakk. Reading other reviews, and checking INTIs library, it seems they are very much a game mill with little to no actual vision. Which is tragic because their art style is 11/10. Tank blaster? You got it! RPG with loot grind? Heres one. Grid based Card Battler? Of course we thought of that. Metroidvania? Easy, got one of those too. Tacky Megaman? Here's GV. Spam speed runs? First iX. Back to a more traditional MMZ? Second iX. Like …
One of these cases where I would like Steam to have a "Mixed" rating for reviews. Also know as "Should have just been a patch" the collection. The changes made are quite negligible and endless battle just feels lazy as ♥♥♥♥. SPEAKING OF CHANGES! Here are the changes to the games that I have noticed: LAiX 1: [list] [*]120 FPS (good); [*]Both DLCs are included (Good, but I still have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clue how to beat EX-Blade); [*]They have buffed the gun in Darkness Trigger and I TIHNK it drains health slower (yes, this is the only balance change). [/list] LAiX 2: [list] [*]120 FPS (good); [*] All DLCs are included (Good, but it's literally the least they could do, since the DLCs cost more than the original game and lock some upgrades that feel like they should have been a part of the main game); [*]They buffed the main weapon, which, on one hand is good, but on the other, most bosses become even more of a joke than they were in terms of difficulty (yes, most of them still suffer from the Spark Mandrill syndrome). [/list] And that's it, they didn't translate the audio CDs like they did for the Gunvolt trilogy nor did they do any other balance changes, which I th…
