TMMN-TV Review: Azure Striker Gunvolt 3

Nearly six years worth of spin-offs and crossovers later, Inti Creates’ mainline Azure Striker Gunvolt series shows a spark of life once again with a new playable heroine in tow. What lies beyond the path toward hope and can lightning strike thrice? Check out my video review of Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 to find out my verdict!

Fair warning: there will be a story section with some early game spoilers (no endgame talk here though), so if you wish to skip right to the gameplay analysis, there will be ample warning and a timestamp in the video as well as in this article.

Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 is out July 28th, 2022 on Nintendo Switch, August 2nd on Xbox One and Series S/X consoles, and coming Winter 2022 to Steam. No word on a PlayStation port sadly, but hopefully news on that front comes sooner than later!
