Mighty Gunvolt Burst: Play The Demo & Unlock A DLC Character For Free

January 8, 2018 by Kevin Thielenhaus

Mighty Gunvolt Burst is now available on the Nintendo Switch, and if you play through the new demo, you can unlock a DLC character for free.

Mighty Gunvolt Burst, originally only available on the Nintendo 3DS system, made its way over to the big brother of handheld consoles — the Nintendo Switch, and finally picked up a few much-needed updates this year. Not only is it available for purchase, but anyone can download the demo and earn a few bonuses. Not only will you get to save your progress and transfer your file over to the main game from the demo, you’ll also unlock a paid DLC character for free.

The character in question? It’s Ekoro — heroine from the Gal Gun, a series of ridiculous light gun games, and later made the jump to Azure Striker Gunvolt, the predecessor to Mighty Gunvolt Burst. These games have a long history as indie cross-over machines, and if you didn’t already realize; Mighty Gunvolt Burst is actually a cross-over with Mighty No. 9. The original game was considered — politely — less than stellar, but this iteration is a fantastically fun true iteration to the Mega Man lineage. It’s nice that Mighty No. 9 can avoid being the butt of every internet joke for a little while, at least.

Ekoro retails for $1.99 normally, along with a series of additional DLC characters. All of them are set at the same price, so if you miss the free give-away period, you’re not out too much. The other characters are Call, Joule, RAY, Copen, and Kurona. Call is another Mighty No. 9 alumni.

The game is a blisteringly-fast 16-bit platformer, with deep character customization and a variety of playable heroes you can pick. Like Mega Man, you’ll have a series of bosses you can face, each with their own level, all that you can choose to complete in any order. Each character even has their own unique gimmick — Beck can change the type of bullet he fires, while Gunvolt unleashes special moves that  use his SP meter. They even have different movement styles and progression.
