This mode is displayed on all score results screens. Version 1.4.0 introduced Assist Mode for Hard Mode, which sets player lives to 200 by default, enables Healing, and activates the ability Medley (can't be turned off). The game's true ending is locked behind completing all Hard Mode story missions. In Hard Mode, Copen is locked to level 1 (i.e only 200 HP), has limited lives that when depleted will result in you getting sent back to the stage select screen, far shorter invincibility frames after being hit, all subroutines are disabled, Lola's Healing Mode is disabled, Kudos are lost upon being hit like in the old Fearless setting, bosses have upgraded attack patterns and different weaknesses.
Entering it will unlock Hard Mode, which can be accessed from the title screen and has its own save files. Versus missions are also confirmed to return.Īfter collecting all emblems in stages, a hidden passageway in the right wall of the last pit of the final stage Hanging Gardens 2 becomes accessible. Like LAiX1, boss missions are divided into groups that must be cleared before the next one is unlocked. It appears that the standard Gutless/Normal/Fearless kudos system has been done away with in lieu of Lola's Healing Mode serving as the kudos eating penalty take too much damage, and you will be forced to use it and bank your kudos. The skill chants of past titles are absent in favor of animated skill cut-ins. This skill will cut any enemy it finishes in half. New to LAiX2 is Lola's "Healing Mode", allowing Copen to heal himself with no apparent limit, though the ability banks in Kudos upon use.Ĭopen also has a new offensive special skill, Colossal Maelstrom, being functionally identical to Shred Storm from GV2 and Twin Shredder from iX1, except Lola briefly uses Darkness Mode instead of Awakening. Lola also has a chance of triggering "Anthem" once Copen dies, reviving him and buffing his abilities, which also features the return of her "Awakened Mode". Once the player accumulates over 1000 kudos, Lola appears and triggers Overdrive. The EX Weapon gained from Rebellio in the previous game, Anchor Nexus, returns as the new default EX Weapon Stellar Spark is absent. Lola also returns to support Copen in battle, her main function being the production of EX Weapons, granting Copen the power to use the abilities of the bosses he defeats. Once Overdrive is triggered, bullit dashing is potentially unlimited, but runs on a timer that must be refreshed by colliding with enemies or the ground. The sub-routine Hyper Guard may be purchased and equipped, massively reducing any damage Copen takes as long as he remains still.īullits have been done away with performing one bullit dash prior to Overdrive (1000 kudos) will expend it and make an sign flash until Copen lands on the ground.
Prevasion and the Flashfield are gone, forcing Copen to block hits with the Razor Wheel instead. Defeating an enemy will trigger an invisible 5 second countdown, during which any additional enemy killed will reward the player with a 30 kudos Quick Razor bonus. Accessing the skill menu will deactivate the tag. Tagging an opponent with a bullit dash will cause the Razor Wheel to fire homing buzzsaws, much like Copen's old gun's homing lasers (this doesn't cut enemies in half). The large buzzsaw can be launched after purchasing a subroutine. Holding the attack button produces a small buzzsaw, mashing performs a 3 hit combo, and holding after the combo causes the resultant large buzzsaw to keep spinning. His gun laser gun, Divider, has been replaced by a new chain/buzz saw melee weapon known as the Razor Wheel, which can cut enemies in half. Dashing on the ground now results in the rocket powered Recoil Dash, which knocks enemies and objects back and normally does not tag.
However, unlike that game, which simply imported the gameplay of Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 with minor adjustments, LAiX2 radically overhauls and evolves Copen's gameplay system.Ĭopen's armor has changed to automatically switch between two aesthetic "modes" depending on whether he is grounded or performing a bullit dash: the power focused Break-Shift and speed focused Bullit-Shift. Similar to its predecessor, Luminous Avenger iX 2 stars Copen as its main player character.
