    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.
