I have to admit, this game is a bit too overpriced for what it's worth, but I won't give it a thumbs down since I had a lot of fun with this game. It's just that the game is a bit on the shorter side. You will get at most 5 hours of gameplay if you just keep playing without replaying any of the levels. So why did I give this game a thumbs up anyway? Because this game is genuinely really, really fun to play. You can keep replaying the same levels over and over again and not get tired of it. Think of it like a Megaman game, but much cooler. If there's anything that I can give Inti Creates credit for is their ability to craft new and creative gameplay mechanics in each of their games. They just seem to never run out of ideas. The talisman mechanic is simply genius; you throw your talismans at the enemy and warp to them to deal damage with a sword strike, the more enemies you can annihilate at once, the higher your scores as long as you don't touch the ground. Some enemies require more than one talisman for you to be able to deal enough damage to take them out so it totally comes down to your abilities to make each of your throws count. These moves are so satisfying to pull off since everything happens almost instantaneously, keeping the gameplay momentum up throughout the level without much impediment. If you're a big fan of fast-paced 2D action combat, this game is definitely what you're looking for. Otherwise, wait for it to go on sale because I think that's when this game is truly worth it.

Between this and Gunvolt 2, it's hard to decide which is my favorite title in the series! On the one hand, Gunvolt 2 is really well paced: you have 2 very fun playable characters with seperate, relatively short campaigns and a great story to go through. On the other hand, Gunvolt 3 benefits from superior presentation: better UI, cleaner pixel art and a very good English Dub. Kirin is really fun to play as, probably the best playable character in the series, and there are a lot of fun customization options for gameplay. And while the story doesn't continue too directly from GV2 and isn't AS compelling as that game's story... I still really enjoy what's on offer. Regardless of which game is "Better" though, I'd say both games are really fun and easy to reccomend to fans of fast-paced action platforms with solid ranking systems. Especially since both games go for a really good price when on sale!

I don't mind the gameplay, it's not too hard. But the only problem is the misleading game title name. It shouldn't call "Azure Striker GUNVOLT 3", but "Gunvolt Chronicles: Kirin The Battle Priestess of Shadow Yakumo" instead.

GOD AWFUL STORY, completely tramples on the previous games' narratives. this would be a bad thing if the gameplay wasn't some of the best in the series. the characters are pretty fun too but they made GV into a dog so i can't give it more than a 7. 7/10 overall

I stayed away from this game for a while because of the story and the focus being taken off of GV and put onto a new character, but I honestly wish I hadn't. The story definitely was a fumble, and it's the weakest point of the game, but outside of that, the game is very good. The characters and their interactions can be fun, but the main appeal of this game, as with any in the genre, is the gameplay, and the gameplay here is absolutely some of the best in the genre in my opinion. Having GV limited to a super form turned me away at first, but once I got past that, it started to be really fun to try to manage his new mechanics and try to play as him for as long as possible. Kirin is the new character, and her gameplay is by far some of the most fun I've experienced in the genre. In fact, it's the first time since the MMZ/ZX series that I've enjoyed the gameplay in this genre so much. If you're a fan of the previous games, or even just the wider "Mega Man" style of 2D action platformer (Especially the Zero games), I highly recommend this game (And Gunvolt 1 and 2, if you haven't played those).
