About Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 1+2 Dual Collection
Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 1+2 Dual Collection bundles the two 2D action titles with every DLC and a set of balance tweaks, delivering a refined experience for newcomers and veterans. The collection adds a fresh Endless Battle mode, letting players face an unending stream of random bosses after customizing the settings.
Beyond the core combat, the package supports full controller use, Steam Cloud saves, and family sharing, ensuring flexible play on Windows. Two sci‑fi narratives follow the hard‑boiled fighter Copen and his allies as they navigate a grim future dystopia.
01 / THE GUIDE
Revised Balance – Director's Cut
The collection updates combat balance across both games. Luminous Avenger iX's Darkness Trigger "berserk" mode receives a power boost, while iX 2 introduces a "Spike Smash" system that enhances Copen's Razor Wheel. Additional tweaks aim to smooth overall gameplay.
These adjustments are applied automatically, requiring no extra steps from the player. They affect how the Darkness Trigger and Razor Wheel perform during fights, offering a slightly different feel from the original releases.
- Observe how the boosted Darkness Trigger changes combat flow compared to earlier versions.
- Test the new Spike Smash to gauge its impact on weapon handling.

All DLC Integrated
Every piece of downloadable content released for the original titles is built into the Dual Collection. This includes items that were previously limited in availability, so players have immediate access to the full range of DLC content.
No separate purchases or activation codes are required; the content is present from the start, allowing seamless exploration of all added material alongside the base games.
- Check the in‑game menus for previously DLC‑only costumes now available.
- Experiment with all weapons to see how they integrate with the balance changes.

Endless Battle Mode
Both iX 1 and iX 2 feature a new Endless Battle mode where players configure settings before confronting an endless wave of random bosses. The mode tests endurance, letting you see how many opponents you can defeat in a single run.
Customization options let you tailor the challenge, but the core loop remains a continuous series of boss encounters without a predefined endpoint.
- Adjust the settings to match your skill level before starting.
- Track how many bosses you defeat to set personal milestones.
