Mighty Gunvolt Burst Is A Mega Man-like That Lets You Make Your Own Bullets

BEST AWA EVER !!!

Me (Tim Rogers) and Stephen Totilo played Inti Creates’s new Mega Man-like retro shooting platform action game Mighty Gunvolt Burst yesterday on a live-stream.

We delved into the game’s core system: bullet customization. Unlike in, say, an Actual Mega Man Game, in Mighty Gunvolt Burst you pick up various little trinkets and items which contribute to a database of modifications and enhancements you can attribute to your gun-ammo. The system is rich with thorough economics: each enhancement or modification costs a set number of points, and you can increase your total allowance of points by, of course, picking up more items. This is a game for riffing and replaying. Or, if we’re being cynical, we can say this is a Mega Man game whose designers built a lavish menu system for the players so we could finish the game for them.

We played the game on a Nintendo Switch. We played in TV mode, because that’s the only way to stream gameplay from a Nintendo Switch, though I can see myself preferring to play this game in portable mode. It’s just so full of what I like to call “trick or treat game design” that it’d be perfect for grinding and experimentation during a commute.

What exactly is “trick or treat game design?” Well, you could watch this handy video digest of our stream to find out.

At any rate, I like this game, and Stephen Totilo also likes this game. So there you have it: on a scale of “I don’t like this game” to “I like this game,” Mighty Gunvolt Burst gets two “I like this game”s. It’s $10 and it’s on the Nintendo Switch right now. I haven’t bought it yet, though late one night (maybe tonight), I accidentally will, and then I’ll have to live with it.

And oh! You can subscribe to us on Facebook if you want to see future streams like this.

That looks old school! The old Mega Man games... Damm, that was hard!

Enjoyed playing Might Nº 9 too... Everyone complained a lot about it, but I though it was cool for Mega Man fans.

Too much old school for me

Kinda dissapointed neither Beck nor GV have their abilities from the original Mighty Gunvolt, and are essentially just Mega Man reskins. Still, the level design and customization are amazing thou.
