Mighty Gunvolt Burst

• Genre: Action Platforming
• Time Played: 10+ Hours
• Too Short/Long: It's right for what it is, I only wish you didn't have to replay every level in order to collect everything, but I guess when levels only take 5 minutes it's not too bad.
• Pleased/Disappointed: Pleased.
• Why I played: Mega Man styled game, and guess I wanted to squeeze in another Inti Creates game.
• Recommend to others: Sure, if you're looking for a Mega Man styled game. The fanservice is mostly directed at people who like the other Inti Creates games, but it can be enjoyed on it's own, it's pretty quick paced and not too difficult.

Mighty Gunvolt Burst is everything that everyone who is still mad about Mighty Number 9 really wanted. I personally can't get over the fact that 7 years later I still hear people piss and moan about Mighty Number 9. It's not even a bad game, I'd even argue it's pretty good. BUT it made 3 million on it's kickstarter... so... people wanted it to be... better? Bigger? It was never intended to be. I feel like somehow people thought 3 million on Kickstarter meant it's going to be a AAA title. But it did take a few years to come out, hit a couple delays and Inti Creates made some other games to kinda supplement it. 

Honestly, I still do not see why or agree with any reasons I've seen people still in fumes about Mighty Number 9. In my eyes, the people mad about it just wanted... this. A game that hits all the nostalgia points and full of fanservice. Mighty Number 9 was new and too different, took too long, etc etc. And it was the early days of Kickstarter, 10 years ago, so I think they just expected too much. It's honestly a shame though, because while the Azure Striker games are alright - I think Mighty Number 9 would have made a way better series to have seen 5 games from at this point (Not counting this and sans Burst).

Mighty Gunvolt Burst is a cute and more fleshed out follow up to Mighty Gunvolt(both which have alternate titles for playstation under Gal Gunvolt, for some reason). Overall it has simplified mechanics, and a customizable weapon system that can easily make you OP. It's a fun and quick paced romp, since the levels are only like 10 minutes max, it's easy to pick up and play in a short... burst.

I've played a bunch, a little bit as each character at least, the game definitely doesn't take 10 hours to beat, maybe a couple tops, but I finally actually finished it on my Ray playthrough. I love Ray. She's basically mean Zero of Mighty Number 9.
