Your character can jump and shoot basic stuff featured since the blue bomber’s advent. After the introductory level, you’ll be able to select one of eight levels that have a boss waiting for you at the end. Of course, the real reason you’d go through the game multiple times is because of the gameplay.

Each character has a slightly different narrative this already gives a good reason to play the game more than once. However, to escape, you have to be victorious. Someone, or something, informs you that you need to duke it out in a robot tournament in order to survive. Your hero or heroine gets thrown into a strange virtual world comprised of 1s and 0s.

As a huge fan of Azure Striker Gunvolt, the first character I picked was Gunvolt (GV for short). You start the game by selecting one of nine characters. However, it’ll take a few stages to fully appreciate it.

Fans of Mega Man will undoubtedly enjoy all this game has to offer. Mighty Gunvolt Burst, a crossover title featuring heroes from various Inti Creates franchises, takes the idea of an NES Mega Man and amplifies things with multiple features and a meaty campaign. Whether it’s a classic from the NES days or something I’ve played a million times like Mega Man X4, the tight gameplay and beautiful aesthetics always make the experience enjoyable. On days I don’t feel like saving the world in an epic RPG or reading about a heroine’s plight in a visual novel, I turn to one of my favorite franchises: Mega Man. Author’s Note: This review is for the Switch version.
