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

    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.    … Expand

    I 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.

    Well, what's better than control iX? I love the days when I play the series Megaman X and the rest of them. But iX is total a different experience, he make me fell like I'm is the best

    The differences from the original game put me off a bit initially, but the more I played, the more I grew to like what this sequel does. Luminous Avenger iX 2 may not be the new apeX of 2D action, but it's still worth a look if this kind of game interests you. [Issue #59 – May/June 2022, p. 25]

    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.

    Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 does so much right. It’s gorgeous, it’s fun, and it sounds awesome. It has a lot to offer for fans of classic 2D action platformers with engagement to be found in both its story and gameplay. Not without its faults, Luminous Avenger iX 2 hides its true ending behind an overly punishing hard mode and hides fun mechanics behind a DLC paywall which leaves a sour taste in the mouth. Though with that said, the game still manages to be a funhouse of bullets and chainsaws.
