What's going on in this screen? Who knows, all I know is that I'm flushing Azure Striker Gunvolt 2. After struggling to find much fun in the first game after awhile, I gave this one a few levels with the other playable character "Copen" who does seem cooler... but it just hit me I still hate everything about this. The visual vomit, the absurdly difficult boss battles (very much due to not knowing WTF is on the screen, one boss was even covered up by his own text box in a corner), the boring level design... an absolute mess, these games are a MESS! Coming from the Mega Man guy, these were a huge surprise disappointment. Maybe they somehow seem better on their original 3DS forms? I think I'd need a microscope to see anything going on in this on a smaller screen. Man oh man, LESS IS MORE sometimes. Keep it simple. What shocks me most about these games being so lackluster is that I've highly enjoyed Inti Creates' offerings otherwise and that goes for both older like the Mega Man Zero/ZX games, or newer with the 8bit Bloodstained's, the excellent Blaster Master Zero trilogy, etc. So for their own original IP to be this much of a step down to me is shocking. But they must have their fans to get a bunch of sequels.
To beat Copen's campaign, might take ~4-5 hours of time probably. Not a huge deal but frankly since this game seems just like the first with new lame levels and bosses, no thanks. I'm moving on.
I'll consider the other games on a DEEP discount. They at least look like they started from the ground up again, UI design wise and all...
