Like in previous Gunvolt games, the game takes on a structure akin to its spiritual predecessor: the Mega Man Zero series. As is the standard for Gunvolt, the over-the-top dialogue and striking character personalities meant that everyone made what little time they had count. It’s not much, which is only natural for a game with such a short runtime, but I did enjoy it for what it was. It also meant there was new lore and worldbuilding ideas to play around with. Since it’s a one-and-done story, characters start and complete their respective arcs by the time the credits roll. So while there are a few things about the story you won’t be in the know on, you can rest easy and enjoy the narrative if this happens to be your first game.īeing so divorced from the other storylines has resulted in a generally more interesting plot this time around. There is no conflict between humans and the super-powered beings called Adepts like in every previous game, and there aren’t any returning characters besides the main cast. What’s interesting about this story is that it’s got basically nothing to do with the previous Luminous Avenger game, or even any Gunvolt game for that matter. Along the way, they naturally run into some roadblocks and new bad guys to take down. With their only lead in getting back home being a lone tower, they set out to climb it and uncover its mysteries. In this new world they find themselves in, humans seem to have gone extinct, and robots rule in their place. This game gets the ball rolling immediately, with protagonist Copen and companions Kohaku and Lola having been whisked away to an alternate world. The Luminous Avenger iX titles take place in an alternate timeline from the numbered Gunvolt games, with iX 2 taking place not long after the first Luminous Avenger game. As the 4th Gunvolt game overall, one wonders: what does this game do to differentiate itself from its predecessors? The answer is actually quite a lot. Yet here we are, with yet another high-flying, high-speed adventure starring Copen and Lola. With Gunvolt’s 3rd numbered entry touted for Summer of this year, many assumed that Luminous Avenger was a one-and-done. The announcement of Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 came as a surprise to many.
