⚡ Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 — High Voltage Action With Some Shortcomings ⚡

Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 is the latest in the Gunvolt series from Inti Creates, pushing the franchise forward with new mechanics, slick presentation, and a fresh protagonist. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it layers on enough polish and new ideas to remain compelling for fans and newcomers alike.

🎮 What Works

New Playstyle, Same Core Feel
This entry introduces Kirin, a character who uses talismans to tag enemies before dashing in with melee attacks. It’s a clever twist on the classic tag-and-zap mechanics, giving the game a more aggressive pace. Gunvolt is still playable at points, providing ranged power for variety and flexibility.

Spectacular Visuals & Audio
The game is gorgeous, with vibrant pixel art, detailed backdrops, and expressive animations. The soundtrack is equally strong, with energetic and atmospheric tracks that elevate the intensity of combat.

Replay & Mastery Incentives
While the campaign itself is short, the ranking system, collectibles, and Image Pulses add replay value for players who want to chase perfection. The inclusion of “Story Mode+” allows players to follow the narrative without slowing down the action.

⚠️ What Doesn’t Land

Balance Issues & Difficulty Lulls
Some sections can feel surprisingly easy, while others spike in challenge when chasing S++ ranks. This unevenness may frustrate players looking for consistent pacing.

RNG in Progression
Unlocking skills and Image Pulses relies on random pulls, which can feel unsatisfying for completionists who prefer a structured upgrade path.

Story & Presentation Overload
The game leans heavily on dialogue and character interactions. While fans of the lore will appreciate the depth, others may find the constant interruptions distracting from the gameplay.

✅ Final Verdict

Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 delivers what fans come for: fast action, tight combat, stylish visuals, and depth for those who chase mastery. Its balance issues and reliance on RNG hold it back from perfection, but it remains a strong entry in the franchise.

If you’re into Mega Man X, Mega Man Zero, or earlier Gunvolt titles, this one is well worth your time. Just expect to replay levels and push for high ranks to see everything it has to offer.

💬 Which character do you prefer playing — Kirin’s aggressive style or Gunvolt’s electric arsenal?
