Azure Striker Gunvolt – Striker Pack

Azure Striker Gunvolt – Striker Pack is a compilation of the first two games from the main series: Azure Striker Gunvolt and Azure Striker Gunvolt 2. Additionally, the compilation includes a new title screen song by Lumen (Parallel World), and all of the Steam content for the first game, such as missing dialogue. It was released for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan on August 25, 2016 and in North America on October 4, 2016. However, it remains unreleased in PAL regions.

This enhanced version has all the features of the original pack, as well as multiple new ones, including: a new title screen song (Tabula Rasa), all of the Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 DLC, HD Rumble support, high resolution event graphics and text, a 60FPS upgrade, adjustments to several gameplay features (e.g porting the ASG2 Kudos system, and the ability to dash jump on walls to ASG1) and more. It released worldwide digitally on August 31, 2017.

Like the Mega Man series, namely the original series, Mega Man X, Mega Man Zero and Mega Man ZX, Azure Striker Gunvolt is a side-scrolling action platform game. The player controls the eponymous Gunvolt, who is able to jump, dash, and utilize a gun with special bullets that “tag” their targets, which grants a homing effect to Gunvolt’s electric fields.

Hitting an enemy with multiple tags will guide more of Gunvolt’s electricity towards that enemy, increasing damage. The player’s actions are limited by an energy bar, which depletes when using the electrical field, using additional movement abilities such as double-jumping or air dashing, or being hit by enemies. Whenever the energy bar is depleted, Gunvolt will enter an “Overheat” state and will be unable to use his septimal powers or defend himself until it refills.
