Far from being a tedious grind, replaying stages never feels old and tackling old challenges with new weapons is always an incentive to dive back in.īeating each stage will also let you choose one of 3 upgrades which can be the boss’s element, a CP upgrade or a pixel sticker.

Every wall suddenly raises suspicion, and even if you weren’t able to 100% a level you can always go back and replay it. If you are a completionist, then you will most definitely have a good time exploring every nook and cranny of each stage to uncover its secrets. Each stage also features multiple secrets to uncover that range from pixel sticker to CP upgrades and even unique modifiers for your weapons. Aviator’s stage “Radio Tower” features wires and hooks to cross bottomless pits. Pyrogen’s stage “Oil platform” feature incendiary oil and magnetic fields. 9, all featuring a stage that is created in their own theme and with unique gimmicks to overcome. The bosses are the 8 robots from Mighty No. The core of the game plays like your standard jump ‘n shoot afair, with multiple stages to beat and unique bosses to defeat. The game originally featured Beck and Gunvolt as playable characters, each with its own individual story, but at the time of this review the cast has expanded considerably by adding 6 new characters which include the likes of Copen, The Vermilion Destroyer and even the Muse herself! Due to unforeseen circumstances Gunvolt (and all of the other DLC characters) have been dragged into the virtual world, and it is up to them to figure out a way to exit the simulation. The game takes place in a virtual world created by Dr. Mighty Gunvolt Burst is a classic 2D action platformer set in the Mighty No. After she left, I tried to make the most out of my time, but every night when I went back to my hotel room I knew there was a game waiting for my that was nothing short of amazing, of course I am once again talking about Mighty Gunvolt Burst. At the time a dear friend accompanied me on the road trip and stayed with me one week while we discovered my new town. I started the job on June 19th, so I spent the prior Thursday packing up my stuff, and just before packing my switch I opened the eShop and downloaded one game: Mighty Gunvolt Burst. It isn’t the first time I’ve had to move away, but those who have done it know how hard it is to just abandon your life and start a new one, especially when you know absolutely no one on your new location.

Last year I had an amazing job offer which required me to relocate. For years Mega Man X has been my go-to game for when life is being rougher than usual. If you have read my previous Azure Striker Gunvolt review, then you know that I have a special place for Mega Man in my heart. Mighty Gunvolt Burst takes everything that went right and refined into a more robust and memorable experience Despite being a short title that was delivered as a bonus for purchasing Gunvolt, it actually was able to channel the classic Mega Man game play we grew up with and loved much better than its origin game. It all seemed to be over for the protagonist Beck until he was given the chance to star alongside Gunvolt and Ekoro in a title called “Mighty Gunvolt” which was released alongside Azure Striker Gunvolt on the eShop. Instead of being the spiritual successor of Mega Man that was long due after Capcom’s abandonment of the franchise, it became another example of a kickstarter campaign gone wrong. 9 is a game that will definitely make it into the history books, however, not for the reasons they would expect it to be remembered.
