Despite still being in development, it shows promise of being one of Sumeragi's most powerful weapons.Īs the 9th generation tank Mk 17 Mantis was called the pinnacle of unmanned tanks, development struggled to make a 10th gen tank able to overcome that reputation. The Plasma Legion is a 10th generation unmanned tank being developed by the Sumeragi Group in collaboration with the overseas company Eunos Inc, using technology loaned by them. After being upgraded, it gains a pair of horn-like rails attached to its head. It is blue with purple highlights, stands on two short legs, and has multiple cannons and guns attached to its sides. However, if you have a few bucks to spend and you're not invested in neither the story nor characters and just want to play a decent side-scrolling action platformer, than Mighty Gunvolt Burst might be for you.The Plasma Legion is a large, bulky robot that bears a vague resemblance to a bird. If you’re waiting for Capcom to bring back the glory days of Mega Man, this game will likely leave you angry and unsatisfied. The ability to change the form and function of your weapon allows for a slight variation in progressing through the game.Īs for a recommendation, I think Mighty Gunvolt Burst is going to create some division among gamers. Before each level and anytime during gameplay, you have the option to reconfigure your character's abilities to suit your situation. Upgrades to your character are provided as you progress through each level, leading to new strengths and abilities. At no point during the game did I feel cheated on a death. The movement of the character is smooth and responsive. Each of the main levels will run approximately 10 minutes with the whole game taking a couple hours.Įven with all the shortcomings of Mighty Gunvolt Burst, I still did enjoy playing the game. Mega Man veterans will likely get through the game quite quickly. The boss fights don’t provide much of a challenge, as each boss has a very recognizable pattern with little to no variation. The bosses in Mighty Gunvolt Burst are just as forgettable as the levels, to the point where the name of the boss flashes too quickly to even read. The levels aren’t particularly memorable, and the same enemies appear in each of the levels. Mighty Gunvolt Burst follows the usual formula: eight levels each with a unique element that ends with a boss that needs to be defeated. The problem with spiritual successors is that it is hard to judge the new game without comparing it to its predecessor that's where Mighty Gunvolt Burst falls short. Both of these games have looked to become the spiritual successors to different parts of the Mega Man series, so it seems like a natural fit to combine the characters for a traditional 2D platform adventure.
Mighty Gunvolt Burst is a merger of two ongoing series, Azure Striker Gunvolt and Mighty No.
The roots go very deep, as Inti Creates was founded by a group of ex-Capcom staffers who were tasked to develop 10 different Mega Man titles and recently worked with Keiji Inafune, an artist from the original Mega Man series.
But why are we talking about Mega Man in a review for Mighty Gunvolt Burst? That's because the developers of this game, Inti Creates, have deep roots in the Mega Man franchise. I still remember the moment of defeating Dr Cossack, only to have my mind blown that it was Dr Wily all along. At risk of giving away my age, I can safely say that the Mega Man game I remember playing the most was Mega Man 4 on my original Nintendo. Regardless of your age, you probably have fond memories and favorite moments playing one of the games from the Mega Man series.
