Get ready for high-speed 2D side-scrolling action combined with deep storytelling!

Gunvolt's supercharged saga strikes onto the Nintendo Switch!

Azure Striker Gunvolt Striker Pack brings the electrifying 2D side-scrolling action games "Azure Striker Gunvolt" and "Azure Striker Gunvolt 2", which previously made their home on the Nintendo 3DS, onto the Nintendo Switch in one single package.

In "Azure Striker Gunvolt", you take control of Gunvolt's high-speed mobility and repertoire of electrical attacks to make short work of your enemies. As an "adept" who possesses supernatural "septimal powers," Gunvolt fights for the freedom of the nation from the tyrannical rule of the massive conglomerate known as the Sumeragi Group and the invasion of a super-powerful group of adepts known as Eden.

Azure Striker Gunvolt's deep storyline plays out both during breaks in the action and in the thick of battle too! Featuring a robust cast of characters that are fully voiced (in Japanese) and over 25 vocal tracks performed by characters in the game, the world of Gunvolt provides excitement at every turn.

The Nintendo Switch version also features a slew of upgrades from the 3DS version, including a 60 FPS upgrade, upgraded UI, high-resolution event graphics, the entire DLC catalog from the 3DS version pre-loaded into the game, a brand new vocal track from the character Lumen, AKA "The Muse," HD Rumble compatibility, and more!

All told, we’d give Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack a strong recommendation to anyone who hasn’t yet played these games. Although the two games can be picked up individually on the 3DS for a lower price, this still presents a good opportunity to try them both in a format that can be played on both a big screen or a portable. The two games stand high on their own merits and — when you consider additions like HD Rumble and DLC — they certainly justify the cost, but the porting job is a little sloppy; fans who have already played these out on the 3DS might want to think it over first before buying. If you haven’t played them yet, then this is nevertheless the best way to go.

Azure Striker Gunvolt is electric. The hero literally wields lightning powers. Ippo Yamada's powerful soundtrack pounds with fury and intensity, pushing the game's frenetic pace forward. The boss fights are explosive clashes that show no mercy. Then there's ASG2, also included in this twin billing, which delivers even more of the first entry's excellence. The tag-and-zap mechanic adds a fun risk / reward system that keeps the player invested. My only complaints: a relative lack of variety in enemy types, and the extremely difficult final boss fights in both. Highly recommended, especially to fans of the Mega Man series!
