Azure Striker Gunvolt is a 2D side-scrolling platform shooter with game mechanics similar to Mega Man Zero by the same developer.

The game is set in the future and the protagonist is Gunvolt.

He is an 'adept', someone who has developed septimal powers that provide superhuman abilities.

Adepts work for the Sumeragi Group, a worldwide corporation that uses them to establish peace.

That is achieved, but it is revealed the company is able to control the adepts directly, depriving them of free will, and experiments on them.

Gunvolt works for another organization called QUILL which aims to expose and stop the Sumeragi Group's operations.

At the start of the game Gunvolt is tasked to assassinate an adapt called Lumen, but he discovers Lumen is in the body of a young girl called Joule and he ignores his orders and rescues her instead, defecting from QUILL.

He continues the plan to expose Sumeragi Group, but now driven to protect and free Joule.

Based on a specific condition two types of endings can be achieved.

Gunvolt's primary weapon is a gun, with several types available gradually, but it used in an unusual way.

Bullets do not kill enemies, but tag them and then allow him to unleash a powerful electric field with a homing effect.

Its use is limited through an energy bar that requires some time to recharge.

Movement includes (double) jumping and (air) dashing to move around quickly and some of these drain the energy bar as well, as well as being hit by enemies.

Similar to the Mega Man games most of the stages are available right away and can be played in any order, with a Sumeragi Group boss at the end.

Through a leveling system the amount of hit points can be increased and several skills can be learned such as healing, a lighting burst or a large energy sword.

Using skills requires skill points that generate slowly.

The character can be customized by using components to forge eyes and pendants with specific abilities that can be equipped.

The scoring system rewards swift

About Nintendo 3DS

The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.

Gamevaro tracks Azure Striker Gunvolt for Nintendo 3DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Azure Striker Gunvolt to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This 3DS release dates back to 2014.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Azure Striker Gunvolt, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo 3DS titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
