help Azure Striker Gunvolt FAQ
Does Azure Striker Gunvolt play like the Mega Man Zero games?
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.

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.
