It functions just like the dashing-into-enemies shtick and is just as cumbersome: levels and enemies are mostly designed around your character’s ability to shoot across the screen. 9 is the Burst mechanic, which rewards players with extra points by killing enemies at point blank range. 9 – checkpoints are fairly generous, kill-points aren’t as frequent, load times are fast and dying is virtually free of consequence. That being said, it doesn’t feel nearly as cheap as it did in Mighty No. 90 per cent of your deaths in this game will be of the instant variety. Either it’s an invisible enemy on the edge of a bottomless pit, or a set of spikes conveniently out of sight, or a crushing death trap in a hidden room with a powerup. It seems like the designers were told that the game needs to “feel hard”, and they satisfied this requirement by deliberately inserting kill-points so that the player dies at least a couple of times on their first try.
The mechanics don’t gel together properly, levels play out blandly and the challenge is obligatory. Which is unfortunate, because from the very beginning Mighty Gunvolt Burst falls into a lot of the same pitfalls that Mighty No. 9, the stage is set for a redemption play from Inti Creates to win back the hearts of Mega Man fans. After the protracted development cycle of Mighty No. This is very much a “greatest hits” game, featuring characters from both series as well as additional character Ekoro from Gal*Gun, due to be patched in later.
9, both of which form the basis for Mighty Gunvolt Burst. Inti Creates is a studio adept in the modern-retro style by now, with a hand in the excellent Azure Striker Gunvolt and the mixed Mighty No.
Mighty Gunvolt Burst comes at an exciting time for the Nintendo Switch – it’s the first hardcore platformer available for the console, and it arrives before Nintendo’s own Virtual Console does so it won’t need to compete with the retro games it aims to emulate.
