The quality of life they have brought into the title such as being able to take 3 hits before losing all your kudos is a fantastic change that makes getting hit a lot less frustrating and builds your confidence more as you take on the groups of enemies that's placements within the level design is a lot better than the first game.
What drew me in with this title especially is the step up in the narrative, gunvolt 1 had a straightforward story that was still enjoyable, but the sequel allows itself to bloom into a fascinating universe where I can't wait to see what the 3rd game has in store for me.
Azure Striker Gunvolt introduces enjoyable levels that become an art of mastery when you replay them for specific challenge bonuses and an enticing second ending. This can be shown in aspects such as ambushes where you can end them with haste by destroying sirens or if you want to take a more slow approach you can take on the waves of enemies as they come.
The boss fights in the title are enjoyable, having their own unique movesets. This is great enough for this style of game to have some unique boss movesets but the game goes the extra mile by allowing Gunvolts ability to interact with certain aspects such as repelling drill-based attacks. However, the only problem I find with them lies in the reuse of these bosses throughout the game which can become quite stale when they don't bring anything new.
This is not all Gunvolt provides, it introduces very interesting mechanics such as a cheat death that links itself to lore in a manner that feels natural for it to be there and when it activates in dangerous situations you can't help but feel amped up to deal some serious damage.
Overall I enjoyed this title and I'm excited to jump into the second one.
Honestly, this is an excellent experience that if you are a fan of the first game, will have you hooked in a heartbeat.
