Mighty Gunvolt Burst is a pixel art action platform game developed by Inti Creates. It is the sequel of the Mighty Gunvolt.
The original game was first released on the Nintendo Switch as an eShop downloadable title, and was subsequently ported to the 3DS, PlayStation 4 (under the name Gal*Gunvolt Burst) and PC through Steam. The PC version was released with all of the DLCs from the previous releases as character packs similarly to the PlayStation 4 version and it is based off the latest revision from the Switch version, however, it has issues with AMD graphics cards similarly to Mighty Gunvolt as the lighting effects from the console versions appears to be missing like in the 3DS port.[1] Other users have encountered issues with the game's Fullscreen mode renders the game in 4:3 instead of 16:9, especially when played on displays with resolutions higher than 1080p, causing sides of the game's screen to be cut off, while some have encountered system freezes caused by registry errors created by the game.[2][3] Using Special K as a workaround for these issues is recommended.
No patches were ever released for the PC version its since release.

- Tried mapping Shift key to an action and the game gives me an error beep, and tried the Home, Insert, PgUp keys and those didn't work either, but oddly the Delete key was usable.

- So far worked natively with a V2 (Generation 4) DualShock 4 controller without any third-party software or drivers. Testing a V1 (Generation 3) controller however did not register any inputs in-game.
