Trial and error is a key concept for many titles in this genre, and this feature embodies that view quite well.Īs the third part of the title, the Burst aspect is also quite unique, and can change up the flow quite dramatically, if pursued. For such a flexible and fun system, it is a shame that the game doesn't explain it all too well, if at all.
Want Homing Bullets that deal double the damage? Shield Blades surrounding Beck or Gunvolt that dissipate into smaller knives and fly off? Flame Balls that bounce off walls? This can be done, and although there is a lack of a difficulty option initially, everything can be made much harder or easier with damage modifiers, although these require the greatest CP sacrifices.īoth Beck and Gunvolt share certain modifier choices, and have their own unique aspects to them, as well, which can all be discovered hidden in the levels. Keeping in mind a Customise Point limit that can be increased over the course of the adventure, a wide array of options can be changed to the player's liking. One of the most unique aspects of Mighty Gunvolt Burst is the Customising system, able to be utilised at any point via the pause menu and stage select. The opening stage acts as an effective tutorial that explains the basics via prompts, and both Beck and Gunvolt control very similarly with their specialised abilities being the main differentiator. Each stage runs well with a solid frame-rate on the 3DS, with one sole exception being the Mine that chugs when the screen is full of drills and enemies. These levels have been designed for repeat and portable play, not only with secret passages that yield collectibles and frequent checkpoints, but with a choice of rewards upon finishing. The levels are the same regardless of character choice, and each provides a high degree of challenge that rewards patience and learning enemy attack patterns. There are eight primary levels, each with its own theme and end boss. The narrative is light and character exposition is rare, which complements the run-and-gun platforming genre and delivers a speedy means of gratifying gameplay. Gunvolt from Azure Striker Gunvolt is in much the same situation, having been transported to the same simulation with no explanation, and proceeds to locate an exit. Running a VR simulation of his past foes in order to improve his strength and tactics, Beck from Mighty No.9 somehow becomes trapped in this fake reality, and must conquer the levels in order to find a way out. In tune with the retro aesthetic for the game, for both visuals and audio, the tale of Mighty Gunvolt Burst is but a simple one.
