Azure Striker Gunvolt

Yes, the game plays very similarly to the Mega Man Zero series because it was developed by Inti Creates, the same studio behind those titles. Both feature fast-paced 2D action platforming, though Gunvolt introduces a unique electric "tagging" system rather than relying solely on melee weapons.

Instead of directly shooting enemies to death, Gunvolt uses his gun to tag multiple targets with electric markers. Once the enemies are tagged, he can unleash a widespread, auto-targeting electrical field to defeat them while remaining highly mobile.

The original Azure Striker Gunvolt was released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2014. It later received enhanced ports, such as the Striker Pack, which brought the game and its sequel to modern hardware like the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.

Yes, the game spawned a full series of sequels, including Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 and Azure Striker Gunvolt 3. There is also a spin-off game called Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX that focuses on the rival character Copen.
