For starters, beating challenges (who would have guess that?) Randomly getting them from bad guys you just killed or by replaying stages over and over again. What’s that Pixel Stickers? Yes there are Pixel Stickers and while they don’t particularly do much other than look good when viewing the Collection screen and using them as icons for your Custom shots, there are plenty of them and they can be obtained numerous of ways. While there may not be too much in the way of Stages as the game is capable of being beaten in under an hour (single playthough), it certainly has plenty of replay value, which is in part thanks to the number of challenges the game has (30.) Only don’t go expecting them to be a doodle to do as some are tricky and others (8) are secret, but they give rewards, so they are worth doing, even though the rewards are Pixel Stickers. Oh and speaking of challenges, that’s what we’re moving onto next.
Also Bosses can be Burst killed as well and it is one of the games challenges. The Burst Combo does not revert back to zero as time passes, but if you fail to Burst an enemy then it will.

Plus when you Burst an enemy you can score more points and you can chain Bursts by killing another enemy up close and rack up the points even more so. Something that can only happens when playing and you get up close and personal with an enemy when you kill them, resulting in a “ magnificent explosion.” Yes you can take shots at them from a distance, but it’s just not the same when you’re in their face and you do it. They each go through the same set of 9 stages, with the same boss waiting for them, but whereas Beck is the ultimate villain in Gunvolt’s story, Gunvolt is the villain in Beck’s and because I’ve kept you waiting long enough, here’s a couple of photos of each character’s own little story:Īnd now that’s out of the way, can go further on down the rabbit hole and talk about what really makes this game so good, starting with the title? What is the Burst in Mighty Gunvolt Burst for? Well a Burst, is actually something you can do whislt playing. But make no mistake, while the stories may differ, the virtual world they find themselves in is not. Plus you know, he’s Gunvolt and Gunvolt is one striking character! Then there’s the fact that when first starting the game, each character has their own story and having read through both, Gunvolt’s just appeals to me more. I can see the appeal of Beck’s character, especially since his move-set and customisations are fresh and interesting, but I found it a lot easier and enjoyable to play as Gunvolt instead.
With a more engaging story, which plays out differently depending on which character you choose to play as (Gunvolt or Beck,) and gameplay that is so improved that players can truly make each play-through of Mighty Gunvolt Burst a unique experiences thanks to all the character customisations that are available, Burst does in fact prove to be the sequel Mighty Gunvolt deserves, but just in case you’re the kind of player who needs to know more about the main protagonists before you can be sold on a game, than try these two images on size, as they are so informative, they even detail Gunvolt’s special Skills and Beck’s various Attack styles as he can fire bullets of all kinds: Only don’t expect this instalment to be anything like the previous one, because although it features a similar premise, the music is better, the pixel graphics have been improved so as to “ blur the line between 8-bit and 16-bit and take you back to the golden age of 2D action games!” and the game itself is just downright different.
#Mighty gunvolt burst beck series#
Mighty Gunvolt may not have been to everyone’s liking, but the game has become a series and while the 3DS version isn’t out until next month, at the time of the posting of this review, the Switch version sure is and you know what? It’s a total blast! But this is a review and while it would be so nice and easy to leave it at that, let’s get this whole thing underway shall we?įor the uninitiated, Mighty Gunvolt Burst is not a “direct sequel” to the “ bite-sized 2D action game Mighty Gunvolt” that saw release on 3DS and various other platforms back in 2014, as it is described as being a “brand new full-sized game,” which of course features Gunvolt (protagonist of the Azure Striker Gunvolt games) and Beck of Mighty No.9 fame, hence the Mighty Gunvolt title.
