The bosses in the game can be quite formidable and will offer up a good challenge. The stages ramp up in difficulty as the player progresses through the game, although players can pick levels in any order, the default scheme does seem to offer up an escalating level of difficulty. The limited arsenal of moves is not necessarily a bad thing however, both characters in truth feel unburdened and more true to what made the classic Megaman titles so great- Mighty Gunvolt Burst is a textbook example of less is more.Įach stage feels uniquely themed and consists of a boss character based on the bosses present in the original Mighty No.9.
Gunvolt also has access to some of his Adept abilities, however they are limited in effect and tied to a cooldown system-meaning players can’t solely rely on these abilities throughout the levels. Unlike their games of origin, Both Beck and Gunvolt are limited in their abilities, stripped to only the essentials, with jumping and projectile attacks at the forefront.Īs the player progresses through the game, Beck receives the ability to dash, which in this game acts as a means of traversal, sans the absorption bonus present in Mighty No.9. From the get-go, both characters play similarly but eventually get additional powers that distinguish them from each other.

The game gives the player the option to play as Beck, the star of Mighty No.9, in addition to Azure Striker Gunvolt, star of Inti Create’s other popular series of Megaman inspired side scrollers of the same name. Unfortunately, all the main stage bosses in the game share the same track for each fight, which got tiring after dying numerous times during the game’s challenging encounters. Each stage has a unique Chiptune track that feels rightfully old school. Presentation-especially in a retro-inspired title-can be a huge deciding factor, but thankfully Mighty Gunvolt Burst captures the DNA of Capcom’s classic action platformers and delivers a game that both looks and sounds like it could easily have been on the NES back in the heydey of shoot ’em ups.
