Critic Reviews for Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2
A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage.
While there's nothing particularly meaty or mindblowing about the experience and it's very easy, Luminous Avenger iX 2 is another enjoyable entry in the series.
A great sequel to the Gunvolt 2019's game. Gunvolt Chronicles Luminous Avenger iX 2 is perfect for every Mega Man Zero's fan, and a amazing treat for the wait until Azure Strikes Gunvolt 3 is ready.

Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 is far from a groundbreaking game, but it certainly is an enjoyable one. The tightly designed levels and snappy controls make for a thoroughly enjoyable action side-scrolling experience, though this comes with the major caveat that the whole experience is really only a few hours long and it's very much more of the same. At any rate, we'd give this one a strong recommendation to any fans of the Gunvolt series or run-and-gun games in general; there may not be much of it, but Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 absolutely nails what it sets out to do.
Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 does so much right. It’s gorgeous, it’s fun, and it sounds awesome. It has a lot to offer for fans of classic 2D action platformers with engagement to be found in both its story and gameplay. Not without its faults, Luminous Avenger iX 2 hides its true ending behind an overly punishing hard mode and hides fun mechanics behind a DLC paywall which leaves a sour taste in the mouth. Though with that said, the game still manages to be a funhouse of bullets and chainsaws.
Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 improves upon its predecessor's exciting marriage of movement and combat, though its story somehow got more bland.
The second part offers us a special level and reintroduces a number of elements that impressed us with the first part, this part introduced some changes that restricted some aspects of the game and made the experience less dynamic, a decision that not everyone will like.

If you've ever played a Gunvolt game of any kind, this is a fairly good one of those, even if you're likely to forget about it after putting it away. Not every game needs to be memorable to be a worthwhile experience, though. If you're looking for an action-heavy palette cleanser with some kicking visuals and solid gameplay, Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 would make a strong addition to your Switch library.
