    While the plot is hardly worth praising and is too predominant throughout the game, the frantic action in the boss fights and the game's visually appealing presentation, together with captivating gameplay mechanics make Luminous Avenger iX 2 something that fans of the original game and of the Mega Man X series will definitely enjoy.

    Ultimately, Luminous Avenger iX 2 is an attractive and challenging action platformer that nevertheless fails to learn key lessons from the previous game. That said, if you’re a fan of the Gunvolt series or a platformer enthusiast, this is very much your game. If you’re not in that camp, you might wanna skip this confusing side adventure.

    Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 is far from a groundbreaking game, but it certainly is an enjoyable one. The tightly designed levels and snappy controls make for a thoroughly enjoyable action side-scrolling experience, though this comes with the major caveat that the whole experience is really only a few hours long and it's very much more of the same. At any rate, we’d give this one a strong recommendation to any fans of the Gunvolt series or run-and-gun games in general; there may not be much of it, but Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 absolutely nails what it sets out to do.

    I dunno what's with every Review Site giving this game more than 5.

    This game is a mere cash-grab operation, YOU LITERALLY CANNOT DIE! Yes    I dunno what's with every Review Site giving this game more than 5.

    This game is a mere cash-grab operation, YOU LITERALLY CANNOT DIE! Yes you can heal from 1% Hp to 100% EVERY TIME YOU WANT!! What's the meaning behind this?

    Also the game starts with a Warp-hole to another dimension without any reason and you just start killing enemies till the last boss, without a single reason or any story depth, and then after you kill the last boss the Warphole appears again, you return to your world and the game finished like that.

    and they had the courage to add even DLCs to this mere speculation of game!

    Worst $20 spent in my life.    … Full Review »

So there's a minorI loved the first one and because of that this one takes a little getting used to, as Copen controls a little different. So there's a minor learning curve if you're a fan of the original avenger. Other than that, it's a perfect action platformer added to the Azure Striker roster.

    What the review below is complaining about has to do with the Kudos system in the game..everytime you heal, you lose all your Kudos. So if you're hunting for highscore, you shouldn't use lola's heal power.    … Full Review »
