Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 Featured

I’ve been highly anticipating the release of the sequel to the original Azure Striker Gunvolt. Gunvolt 2 promises another rousing adventure with potentially even more content, since it boasts 2 playable characters. Now in the latest trailer, we are introduced to the villains of the game, known as The Seven, as well as the rest of the cast.

One thing that looks great is there seem to be more special skills that activate more rapidly in this game. I remember many attacks in the original Azure Striker Gunvolt were larger than life, visually stunning attacks, but in the trailer they show off many that Gunvolt and Copen seem able to activate on the fly. I was also struck by how feral and powerful Copen’s playstyle looks. Copen was certainly a hard-as-nails boss in the first game, and being able to play as him now should be quite the experience.

One last thing of special note is the awesome looking boss fight atop a motorcycle shown in the trailer! I’m glad it’s almost August 29th, cause the wait for Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 gets more difficult each day I see more content like this! Stay tuned to oprainfall for more Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 news and coverage!
