What is Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2?
Control Copen in a 2D action campaign set in a ruined desert wasteland inhabited only by robots.
His Razor Wheel cuts through enemies as he advances through a tower containing varied stages and boss encounters. Defeating bosses adds EX Weapons that target enemy weak points. Copen switches between Break-Shift for greater force and Bullit-Shift for speed, banking points in Break-Shift to activate Overdrive and extend aerial movement. Lola can revive him with Anthem when his health reaches zero and restore his health through Healing Mode without a cost. Building more than 1000 Kudos points activates another song-based battle effect. The standalone story includes English and Japanese voiceover, with familiar and new characters appearing in the parallel-world setting.
