Our take on Azure Striker Gunvolt
Players pursuing high Kudos runs will hit the main wall when Gunvolt takes damage: the total resets, ending the current music and Lumen-singing sequence. Speedrunners face a separate test in the fixed-setting mode, where progress is measured against timed competition.
What is Azure Striker Gunvolt?
Azure Striker Gunvolt is a 2D action game about a lightning-powered fighter opposing the Sumeragi Group.
Gunvolt tags enemies with his sidearm, then releases electricity to damage several marked targets at once. His powers also support movement, including hovering over dangerous terrain. Missions end in battles against Sumeragi adepts, whose attacks and abilities create demanding encounters. If Gunvolt falls, Lumen may revive him and provide a temporary boost. Reaching 1000 Kudos changes the music and brings in Lumen’s singing, but taking damage resets the Kudos total. Speedrun Mode uses fixed settings for timed competition. Japanese Voice Mode includes Japanese dialogue with English text.
