Mighty Gunvolt (マイティガンヴォルト Maiti Ganvoruto) is a platform video game developed and published by Inti Creates originally for the Nintendo 3DS. The game is a spin-off accompaniment to Inti Creates' Azure Striker Gunvolt game, additionally featuring characters from Gal*Gun and Mighty No. 9. The game was released on the Nintendo eShop on August 20, 2014 in Japan, August 29, 2014 in North America, and April 2, 2015 in Europe. A port for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, titled Gal Gunvolt (ぎゃるガンヴォルト Gyaru Ganvoruto), was released in Japan on August 6, 2015. A version of the original Mighty Gunvolt was released for Microsoft Windows, and was available for free to purchasers of Azure Striker Gunvolt within the first month of its release.
Gameplay
Mighty Gunvolt is an 8-bit style platform game in the style of Mega Man, in which players shoot their way through five main stages (as well as additional stages available as downloadable content). Players can play as one of three characters; Gunvolt from Azure Striker Gunvolt, Beck from Mighty No. 9, and Ekoro from Gal*Gun, each with their own unique abilities. Gunvolt can perform a double jump and use a chargeable lightning attack, Ekoro can float in mid-air and convert certain enemies to her side, and Beck can use slides and tackles to access certain areas and charge through opponents.[2][3]
All stages end in a boss battle, many of which are the Sumeragi adepts of Azure Striker Gunvolt, but with some differences in their attacks or patterns. Additionally, one of the adepts, Zonda, actually steps in and fights the player character, in a reverse of their scene in Azure Striker Gunvolt, where Copen kills Zonda and fights instead.
Development
Mighty Gunvolt was first released on the Nintendo eShop alongside Azure Striker Gunvolt as a free download for players who purchased the game, and was later released as a standalone title. A version update was released in November 2014, along with downloadable content containing four additional levels.[4] A port for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, titled Gal Gunvolt, was released in August 2015, containing all downloadable stages.[5]
