April 2025
This particular game makes me WISH that there was a Mixed button or SOMETHING. Thumbs up or down isn't enough for me for games like this. This is clearly the first draft, or the first attempt. It got a lot correct the first time around. The concept of the vocal tracks kicking in as you do well, the character designs/transformation designs, the game being fast paced, the game having that confidence in being for teenagers and trying to appeal to them, you name it. Where it kind of misses the mark are places like the overall level design, the music being OK, the localization being really not great, and some frustrating decisions with how bosses work. It creates an uneven experience that had me put the game down for YEARS. I had this game on 3DS and remember being excited for it, but playing it at 30FPS is not the way man. Even on Steam(which they had to patch several times to eventually be 60), the game just didn't click for me. I had to push myself to finish it. I think it's one of my least favorite Inti Creates games, but I still recommend it. I have ran into a lot of people who enjoyed this first go around. So, maybe you'll love it from start to finish. For me? I'm more excited by the sequels. Why? I heard that they're SOOOOO much better than this game that it isn't funny. One final blurb about the story, obviously minor spoilers.... I don't know what it is about Inti Creates and downer endings. But, I've heard that this series gets even worse when it comes to buzz kill stories. Oh boy...

Great game. If you like Mega Man Zero movement and doing individual level score runs you'll find plenty to enjoy here. It's a super fast game that really tests your execution if you want to get high ranks on missions. Don't listen to other reviewers -- PC is the definitive version of the game for people who care about gameplay. And you can get the "extra dialogue" to show up in this version by selecting "English (Japanese Voice Mode)" in the language settings. Additionally, it has more modes than the Switch version, and lower latency. The only thing the Switch version has over this is higher resolution portraits for the dialogue windows (it's a pixel art game either way and they don't look bad as is? I don't think it's a big deal.) YMMV on getting the port to work perfectly on all systems though, to be honest. I recommend making sure your monitor is set to 60Hz and having VSync on.

I'll be lying if I wanted to play more of this series right after beating it but I'm unfortunately tapped out after finishing it in a single session. The challenges are nice but I wish it wasn't just limited to selecting three at a time. Crafting for better gear is a neat idea but locking behind drops that are random is not something I want to look forward to after completing a mission. The scoring system is interesting as a way to differentiate between Megaman and Gunvolt but I'm hoping they expand it further along the series. This scratches that 2D platformer itch while also not outstaying its welcome while also having a pretty good OST and I did not found the negative reviews critiques had impacted my experience of the game.

Azure Striker Gunvolt 1 is the beginning of a masterpiece of a series. However this version is not the same as the striker pack and lacks the resolution increases that the striker pack has. If you want to get into this series this game does the job but i don't come back to this one even close to as often of its sequel. Overall great game just not my favorite way to play it. 7/10
