Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 will launch for 3DS via the Nintendo eShop this summer for $14.99, developer Inti Creates announced.
In Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, the story continues with Gunvolt and his rival Copen as playable characters. With Gunvolt, players can dash into enemies to lock on to them, then unleash a devastating homing shot. Copen, making his debut as a playable character, has a high-flying, in your face play style that is quite different from Gunvolt’s. He can copy the abilities of all seven new boss characters and use them as his own.
