EX Weapons are also extremely important when fighting bosses and they will likely have a weakness to one he’s obtained or will later obtain in order to drain their health faster. They can also be swapped through at any time using the shoulder buttons or registered to the right analog stick for quick access.

EX Weapons do require energy to use, but this refills quickly over time. EX Weapons are obtained by defeating other Septima users, which in turn allows him to use some of their attacks in combat. She allows Copen the use of many other abilities he earns along the way, such as his EX Weapons and special ability. Copen works alongside his AI partner known as Lola. Bullits are key to fighting bosses and progressing through stages quickly, so making sure Copen stays on top of it is important.Īlthough his main way of attacking is dashing and shooting, that isn’t the only power at Copen’s disposal. They can be replenished over time or manually all at once. Taking a hit from an enemy will eat away at his Bullits, and he will begin to take damage once they’re gone. These Bullits are what allow Copen to both air dash and prevent him from taking damage. Bullits are showcased in the bottom left of the screen and Copen only starts with three at the very beginning. The catch is he’s unable to dash in the air if he doesn’t have any bullits. Copen is able to dash freely when on the ground, but his specialty is being able to dash while airborne and even reflect off of walls or enemies to get through a stage faster.

In Copen’s case, he needs to dash into an enemy to lock on to them and is then able to fire freely while all the bullets automatically lock on. It’s very much a run and gun style of gameplay, but with one unique gimmick being the characters’ ability to lock on. One of the big draws of Gunvolt is its combat and variety. Copen decides to make their hideout his base of operations,and promises to do everything in his power to keep them safe while taking down the Sumeragi who stand in his way.

Here he meets a group of young children who are all Minos trying to survive being killed by the Sumeragi. When just about to be defeated, a young girl saves his life in the nick of time and takes him back to her hideout. On his path to defeat Sumeragi, Copen meets one of their subordinates known as Blade who bests him in a fight. Copen has become the savior of the Minos, or people without Septimas, and is known as the Luminous Avenger iX who defends them. Not everyone is blessed with these powers and those who aren’t are being actively hunted down by an organization known as the Sumeragi. In the world of Gunvolt there are many people in the world known as Adepts who possess special powers known as Septimas. While the key protagonist has changed, the gameplay and style of Gunvolt Chronicles has stayed true in many ways. Gunvolt Chronicles is the latest in the franchise and moves from the previous protagonist Gunvolt in favor of Copen, also known as the Luminous Avenger iX.
