Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2

Today is a big day for Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2! In our special livestream featuring the legend himself CDawgVA, we announced that Luminous Avenger iX 2 is getting full English voiceover and a Limited Run Games release!

It’s a Gunvolt dream come true!

The inclusion of English voiceover in LAiX2 is a first for a self-published INTI CREATES game! It’s something that I, your friendly neighborhood producer, have been hoping to do for a very long time, and let me tell you Gunvolt faithful, it feels so good to finally bring this goal to life.

With the help of the wonderful Diana Garnet (who some of you may know as the singer of the opening theme from Dragon Marked for Death and the English voice of Joule in the Gunvolt OVA anime!), we put together an incredible group of voice actors to bring this cast of characters to life.

Hearing characters speak English in a self-published game just hits different, and I sincerely hope you enjoy experiencing the game with English voiceover!

Without further ado, let’s meet the cast of Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2!

Copen – Alejandro Saab

Lola – Cassandra Lee Morris

Kohaku – Kira Buckland

Null – Natalie Rose Hoover

 

Dacite – Connor Colquhoun

Vespa – Brittany Cox

Autochrome – Daman Mills

Brigade – Steve “Warky” Nunez

Hail – Jennifer Losi

Ace – Arin Hanson

I can’t wait until everyone can hear them in action when Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 releases on January 27, 2022!

Speaking of the release, I’m also very stoked to announce that our friends at Limited Run Games are bringing you the exclusive physical release for North America on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4! Pre-orders begin on January 25, 2022! This is the only physical release  of the game with an English cover and an ESRB rating, so make sure your region matches up accordingly!

The game is pre-packed with both English and Japanese voice acting in addition to the Kohaku Otori boss battle DLC (get a taste of the Kohaku battle during a previous livestream)!

It just wouldn’t be a Limited Run Games release without a sweet collector’s edition, right?  This baby comes packed with an adorable Lola pod keychain, so you can take everyone’s favorite robo cutie with you wherever you go! The soundtrack includes both the vocal tracks and stage BGM tunes as well, and we’re finishing it off with high-quality art cards of all the main cast from Luminous Avenger iX 2!

Just a little less than 2 months to go until Luminous Avenger iX 2 drops on January 27, 2022 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Steam!

Check out the initial reveal trailer here!

Today we have a sneak peek at the opening sequence to the game and introductions for the  main characters! Enjoy!

◆ Blaster Master Zero 3’s Opening Sequence!

In Blaster Master Zero 2, after a long and
perilous journey through space, Jason and Eve
finally made it to the planet Sophia.

―――However, a new crisis was already
there lying in wait for them.

They were attacked by Sophia’s army, the Sophia
Force, and their Interplanetary All-Terrain Battle
Tank “G-SOPHIA SV” was rendered inoperable.

Jason, Eve, and Fred were then captured and
immediately separated from each other.

“Why did they do this to us…?”

Before Jason could find any answers,
the Sophia Force base where he and the others
were being held captive suddenly fell into chaos,
allowing him to escape and recover G-SOPHIA SV.

The fate of Jason and Eve,
and the fate of planet Sophia…
all revolve around the threat of the mutant scourge.

But now, an interdimensional reversal of fate is beginning…


◆ Meet the main characters from Blaster Master Zero 3!

Young Man Confronting a “Reversal” of Fate

Jason

“G-SOPHIA SV and I will never back down from our fight to save Eve!”

Jason is a young man who has battled against the mutant scourge aboard the battle tanks SOPHIA III, SOPHIA ZERO, and G-SOPHIA.

His intergalactic journey to save his partner Eve, who had been corrupted by mutant cells, at long last brought him to the planet Sophia, where he was captured by the planet’s military, the Sophia Force.

After taking advantage of a chaotic situation, he managed to escape and reclaim his new tank, G-SOPHIA SV.

He now finds himself desperately searching the planet Sophia for Eve, who has gone missing.

Partner Who Disappeared Into Super-Dimensional Space

Eve

“Don’t worry…I found the answer I needed.”

Eve is a young woman who crossed paths with Jason on Earth.

She is the support droid for the battle tank SOPHIA III, and she and Jason formed a deep bond during their battles against the mutants on Earth.

However, Eve became corrupted with mutant cells during their battles, and was in grave danger.

She overcame her corruption after battling the mutants in super-dimensional space, but after getting captured upon her arrival to Sophia, her whereabouts are
now unknown.

Mysterious Creature with a Shiny Metallic Body

Fred

“Ribbit ribbit!”

Fred was originally created to be the support drone (aka Support Animal) for the SOPHIA III battle tank, but has since formed a very deep bond with Eve and Jason after their journey through space togetherand their battles against the mutants.

He has the ability to create wormholes, which supports Jason and G-SOPHIA SV in their searches in many ways.

Supeme Evolution of the Metal Attacker

G-SOPHIA SV

Official Name: “EARTH MA-001 SV GAIA-SOPHIA SV”

Based on the designs for SOPHIA III and SOPHIA ZERO, G-SOPHIA SV is a new interplanetary all-terrain battle tank (Metal Attacker) co-developed by Jason and Eve during their time on Earth.

It comes equipped with the Gaia System, which converts impacts to the vehicle’s chassis into energy.

The original G-SOPHIA parts that were destroyed during their journey through space were replaced with parts from the Metal Attacker ANDREIA that Eve had a fateful encounter with in Area Ω.

This refurbished version was given the codename “SV”, which stands for “Supreme Vehicle”.

Leave a comment

Leave a comment

The tale of the Dragonblood Clan continues when the Ver. 3.0.0 update for our action RPG title “Dragon Marked for Death” goes live on April 21st, 2020! This update to shaping up to be the game’s biggest one yet, and we have a lot of new content ready to drop with Ver. 3.0.0!

We have the new playable characters, the Oracle and the Bandit, in addition to other major new features like brand new weapon categories, powering up weapons as a whole, increased level caps, and host of other new features! The Oracle and the Bandit will be added to the game for free as part of the Ver. 3.0.0 update*,  giving even seasoned players who have been playing the game for the past year a wealth of new content to enjoy!

*Note:  The Oracle will unlock as a playable character once certain conditions within the main storyline of the game are met. The Bandit will unlock once certain conditions within the DLC Scenario “The Dragonblood Bandit” are met. 

As you may know, in Dragon Marked for Death, you can customize the main color, name, and voice when creating your characters. In the Ver. 3.0.0 update, just like the Empress, Warrior, Shinobi, and Witch before them, the Oracle and the Bandit have four possible Japanese voices to pick from. Let’s meet the Japanese voice cast and learn a little about each new character!

The Oracle

The Dragonblood Oracle, reincarnated once every 100 years.
She bears the Dragon Scar on her back.
The Oracle is able to communicate with the Astral Dragon Atruum and channel his power through the Dragon Wings that have manifested on her back.
Through this, she can reproduce the Astral Dragon’s own willpower and magical abilities. She has strong control over this power, allowing her to manipulate giant weapons through sheer force of will and copy them with magic.
She is also capable of using a magic focus to cast beneficial spells on herself and nearby allies, as well as attack spells of the element that corresponds to her dragon contract.

Slash Form: The Oracle commands her equipped greatswords to slash at a distance in front of her. It has high attack power, but leaves her wide open.
Quick: This spell increases movement speed temporarily, varying with magic incantations.

The Bandit

He is a young man of the Dragonblood Clan who bears the Dragon Scar on his hand.
His fist contains the power of the Astral Dragon Atruum that varies depending on his chosen dragon contract. It is capable of stealing the lifeforce of any living thing.
The Dragon Fist can steal this energy and crystallize it, forming magic items known as relics.
These relics are capable of manifesting various phenomena.
He specialize in luck, and earns the favor of his comrades by working as a Treasure Hunter.

Dragon Claw: His arm swells and thrusts forward, grabbing an enemy to extract relics.
Thunder Relic: The Bandit uses the power of a thunder relic, attacking with a quick dash forward. He is invincible while dashing, so he can use this to attack as well as to avoid damage.

Dragon Marked for Death is available now on the Nintendo Switch eShop with a retail release available at stores like Amazon! We hope you have an amazing time with all the new content when the update drops on April 21st!

PAX East is just a week away now, and we’re gearing up and getting ready to make our yearly trek from Tokyo to Boston!

For the first time in Inti Craetes history, we have an island booth at PAX East, making it the biggest booth we’ve had at the show to date. Suffice to say, we can’t wait to make the most of that space and fill it to the brim with demos of our latest games and freshest merchandise. To get an idea of what our booth is going to look like, here’s the setup we had at PAX South last month!

To follow up on another awesome happening from PAX South, our good friend and legendary creator Jirard “The Completionist” Khalil is joining us once again to hang out at the booth throughout the weekend, so make sure you come by and say hi to such a super swell guy!

They’ve been going full-tilt for months working on a massive free update that includes, among a boatload of other additions and features, two brand new playable characters: the Bandit and the Oracle!
