    A great game, even if the difficulty feels a little lopsided. [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 22SW]

    Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX follows the footsteps of the Azure Striker Gunvolt series and does so in a very fun and competent way. Thanks to its fluid and simple controls, frantic gameplay and defying bosses, this is a perfect work for those who enjoyed its predecessors and inspirations, even if it has some rough edges when it comes to its boss fights and soundtrack.

    A curious example of a title being both more refined, but also less good than its predecessor. The action is smoother, better, and overall much more engaging. Purely as a platformer it is great fun, can be picked up cheap, and is only marred by simplistic, one-way levels and its short length. As an entry it is inferior to its predecessor with the removal of various gear, crafting, and challenges, making it a one-trick pony. It's awesome, but it doesn't have the magic the previous one did. Copen, one of the cooler characters in recent history, lacks much of his style that was memorable in previous games. This series is one of the coolest in recent times, and while this does not disappoint, it doesn't live up to how absolutely great it could be.
