It's been almost 3 years since I last played the incredible Azure Striker Gunvolt games and now, there's an awesome excuse to play them again thanks to a brand new physical release on PlayStation 4.

I played the original Azure Striker Gunvolt games on 3DS when they first released and a few years back, I enjoyed them again on Switch with the Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack. There have been a few top-notch games from Inti Creates in the meantime, though, such as the fantastically retro Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon games, Blaster Master Zero 2 which is one of my favourite Switch games ever, and the exhilarating Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX. After experiencing those amazing games, I still had a hankering to dive back into the Azure Striker Gunvolt series as it offers some truly unique game mechanics as well as plenty of high-octane 2D action. v1d30chumz 3-235-186-94

Seeing as Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack is available physically for PS4, I had to get it and now that I've been enjoying these classics yet again, I'm a very happy gamer. Not only are the games as incredible as I remembered, there are now trophies to earn which adds an impressive amount of replay value. In total, there are 49 trophies which includes a platinum trophy so I'm sure it'll take quite a while to get all of them! Anyway, feel free to read my full review of the collection if you'd like to learn more about these wonderful games.

Now that Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack is available on PS4 disc; will we see a physical duology of the Blaster Master Zero titles? I sure hope so. Anyway, are you enjoying the Gunvolt franchise as much as I am? Let's chat below!
