Professional reviews from gaming critics
It's always excellent when truly stand-out games get a sequel so here's the action-packed Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2.
When the issues of a game are rolled and stomped by its greatness, then it’s something to invest on if you have some spare.
Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 improves upon its predecessor's exciting marriage of movement and combat, though its story somehow got more bland.

After rolling credits, I feel like I didn’t fully explore all of Copen’s capabilities. The eShop listing for Luminous Avenger iX 2 describes an ability called Overdrive that is earned through banking points in a specific form; I’m not sure I ever saw it. There’s a lot of minor gameplay features for players to explore and try out, but even just fighting through the stages and bosses is satisfying enough on its own. If you’ve ever played a Gunvolt game of any kind, this is a fairly good one of those, even if you’re likely to forget about it after putting it away. Not every game needs…

That doesn’t mean the game is truly dire or a disaster. Indeed, if you’re a fan of the franchise or you want something that feels a bit like a good old-school hack-and-slash platformer, you’ll get some enjoyment out of the game. But it ultimately feels like a very pretty and well-intentioned game that made itself too easy and ultimately lost out on its main appeal.
