Developer Inti Creates have described how storytelling will come into play in the 3DS side-scroller, Azure Striker Gunvolt.
The game, much like the Mega Man series, will include a blend of 2D action and nippy platforming, with the pace perhaps not suitable for traditional storytelling. As detailed in a 4Gamer report, the story will be presented in what's described as a "Light Novel 2D Action" style.
Instead of lengthy interactions that break up the flow, messages that progress the plot will splash up on the screen with optional voice acting. There will still be fully-voiced event scenes, however. Characters may not necessarily relay information on what's currently happening, with some, even the bosses, spitting lyrical about their lives.
What do you think about the way the storyline will be presented in Azure Striker Gunvolt?
