Phil writes, “Inti Creates has had no trouble making it clear that the Gunvolt series is clearly inspired by the dev’s past work on the Mega Man series, and Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX very much does not hide this. Between the non-linear selection of levels to the bosses that Copen learns new abilities from, there’s a pleasantly familiar feel to the game reminiscent of Capcom’s Blue Bomber. However, there’s just enough freshness and uniqueness in the gameplay that makes Copen’s high velocity adventure stand firmly on its own two feet.”
