Mighty Gunvolt

released on Aug 20, 2014

The Steam version and the Japanese only PlayStation Network port of the game includes the Nintendo 3DS DLC levels. "Get ready for a blast from the 8-bit past with the all-new 2D action/platforming game, MIGHTY GUNVOLT! A loving nod to the retro side-scrollers of the late '80s, MIGHTY GUNVOLT offers simple controls, cute and colourful graphics, and a surprising amount of complexity and fun. Play as one of three characters: Gunvolt, the star of Azure Striker GUNVOLT; Ekoro, an angel from Japan's Gal*Gun series; or Beck, the hero of Mighty No. 9. Each character possesses unique skills that will allow players to keep challenging each stage in new and creative ways!"

the main game is boring and easy and cringe no matter what character you play as, and the dlc is a whole other level of poo poo feces shit garbage, because its addition made the game longer. even the original megaman is better then this by a lot

takes all the wrong lessons from the nes era, which is so weird considering the studio's work on mega man 9 and 10. just play the sequel, you aren't missing anything here

Es como un Megaman, pero sin ser Megaman.
No es malo, pero no es bueno tampoco.

fun cute little megaman clone with gunvolt stuff and also mighty no 9 and galgun? pretty basic and not too difficult outside of two of the dlc stages' boss fights. theres multiple playable characters here which all play pretty uniquely. also a very charming game with its pixel art and i like how they poke fun at old shitty english translations of nes game story dumps. in the way of 2d action platformers it doesnt do anything too crazy but its a decent little game to put on and play and beat in like an hour or so. now i just gotta check out the sequel and the real gunvolt games lol

Paring down the formula to a retro megaman style game reveals the key weakness of Gunvolt: not enough tools. Without a dash, lock-on system, equipment, etc., Gunvolt is less interesting than the first megaman game. Also highlights IntiCreates weaknesses in both level design and boss design. These games need all the silly systems on top to be interesting. They also really rely on having excellent pixel art.

The game is decent but nothing special.
