    The 2D high speed, old-school style side-scrolling action that you remember from Azure Striker Gunvolt is back! In this game, Gunvolt's rival Copen from the first installment returns to the fray as a playable character!

    Gameplay Features:

    1. Prevasion
    This ability allows Gunvolt to neutralize enemy attacks at the cost of his EP energy. Copen also has an ability exactly like this.

    2. Kudos
    Kudos is a point system that increases whenever you deal damage to an enemy. Whenever you take damage, your Kudos are reduced to zero. When activating a save point, using a special skill or clearing a mission, Kudos are converted into bonus points.

    3. The Muse's song
    For as long as you can maintain 1000 or more Kudos, the BGM will change and Lumen AKA The Muse (or in Copen's story, Lola) will sing for you!

    4. Anthem
    When Gunvolt or Copen's HP reaches 0, the Muse's power can bring them back to life, with additional power-ups. In that state, the BGM will change to the Muse's song.

    Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 is fast, flashy fun that fans of 2D action platformers will almost certainly enjoy. Just make sure you play the first game, otherwise, you'll likely be totally lost.

    Well, it's Gunvolt. You won't be blown away by the level design or puzzles or polish of the game. But I think mostly people are paying this asWell, it's Gunvolt. You won't be blown away by the level design or puzzles or polish of the game. But I think mostly people are paying this as a Boss rush sidescroller or a speedrunning game. It's hard at first but once you know the mechanics and general pattern it will probably seem a little easy. Gunvolt's shield mechanics make it especially hard to die, just run through a lot. It can be beaten in about 4 hours with 1 character, and there is a second character to go through again with.

    I love the variety of bosses, there are a lot, and they are well designed. I love the bosses having a super move each, like "Iron Maiden". I think one was called Poetry Slam.

    There were various skills and special shots and things to earn, there's an exp system. As I said the game is potentially easy, I didn't pay attention to those things, but they're there for those who want them. I don't think I got the majority of unlocks. Menu GUI and control config could have been a lot better. Beware there's no auto save.

    Story is typical meh stuff I started skipping it but there for those who want it.

    Overall a fun game that is exactly what it looks like, a retro sprite game with some weaknesses but a lot of charm. Ciao gamers.
