10+ years later, it's still an amazing game. No matter if you're a casual player or a diehard score attacker, there will be something you'll enjoy in here.

Azure Striker Gunvolt, originally for the 3DS, is a Mega-Man X style action platformer that trades out weapon switching for a wider initial moveset. Gunvolt’s lightning abilities are powerful but lacking in precision, so the combat mainly involves swapping between tagging enemies, dodging attacks and frying the opposition. Gunvolt by default has the ability to avoid damage when not attacking, but to get a high score you can’t rely on that, and later levels and challenges may take even that away from you. It’s one of those games that starts you with training wheels and offers you the chance to take them off if you want to go the distance. There’s a crafting mechanic and different guns that change tagging, but honestly I got through the entire game without engaging with these systems. Similarly there’s a narrative but it’s sort of all over the place. It’s not bad but it is just a bit ephemeral, although a bit of that may be a consequence of the direction the sequels took. I enjoyed Azure Striker Gunvolt and would recommend it to fans of action-platformers. Given there is now a three game definitive collection available if this game speaks to you it’s probably worth buying that one for Gunvolts 2 and 3. Since it’s both the first one and the cheapest though it’s probably the best starting point.

This game is great despite some moments being frustrating, like the jewels in each level and the crazy challenge at the true end. The port is less than perfect, having some innate resolution problems and sometimes my controller has mucked up button placements. This is a great game if you are craving a megaman X like experience.

Потрясающая игра! Наравне с лучшими частями Mega Man X и Mega Man Zero. Классический экшен платформер с современными фишками. Потрясающая музыка, особенно зайдет любителям аниме саундтреков. Приятные анимации, импакт от игры. Отличный гейм дизайн! Чего только стоит последняя локация (кто проходил на истинную концовку - поймет). Сама игрушка проходится быстро, не душит как те же Mega Man, но при этом есть много гринда и дополнительных заданий, которые могут растянуть удовольствие на десятки часов. Стоит каждого рубля, уже закрыл все достижение и купил вторую часть, обязательно выпущу обзор и на нее. An amazing game! It stands shoulder to shoulder with the best entries in the Mega Man X and Mega Man Zero series. It's a classic action platformer with modern features and quality-of-life improvements. The music is fantastic, especially for fans of anime soundtracks. The animations are smooth and satisfying, and the game delivers a great sense of impact. The game design is excellent! The final area alone is a masterpiece (those who reached the true ending will know exactly what I mean). The game itself is fairly quick to complete and doesn't feel as punishing or exhausting as the Mega Man games, but it also offers plenty of grinding opportunities and side quests that can extend the experience by dozens of hours. It's worth every penny. I've already unlocked all the achievements and bought the sequel, and I'll definitely be releasing a review of that one as well.

Now, I kinda made the mistake of buying the original game instead of the trilogy, but I still love this game! The story is cool, and the mid run text just makes the story even better! The boss fights are cool too, and GV (Gunvolt) is such a cool main character!
