  Overall, Gunvolt Chronicles Luminous Avenger iX 2 is a great sequel with a difficult yet decent challenge offered to players both casual and seasoned players will love to experience. The new mechanics might add to the learning climb, but it all falls into place well considering the challenge throughout the game.

  Inti Creates can just keep making games throughout my lifetime. While a lot of studios are making retro-tinted projects, many of them don’t hold a candle to what the studio is doing right now. A lot of their works are slept on, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a bunch of Gunvolt games end up on a lot of all-time platformer lists throughout the next decade.

  Ultimately, Luminous Avenger iX 2 is an attractive and challenging action platformer that nevertheless fails to learn key lessons from the previous game. That said, if you’re a fan of the Gunvolt series or a platformer enthusiast, this is very much your game. If you’re not in that camp, you might wanna skip this confusing side adventure.

  There’s a lot of minor gameplay features for players to explore and try out, but even just fighting through the stages and bosses is satisfying enough on its own. 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.

  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.

  Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 improves upon its predecessor's exciting marriage of movement and combat, though its story somehow got more bland.
