Opened 23 years ago on May 8^th the Japanese development studio Inti Creates is the messenger of the action genre. Established by ten people who had previously worked in Capcom; it is globally renowned for their ultra fast-paced titles who mix stylish art with burning hot gameplay mechanics. With more than 40 games developed and published so far; Inti Creates is especially famous for the Mega Man Zero & Mega Man ZX series, but there’s more…They are the people behind one of the best games of this year: Bloodstained. Thanks to them, and obviously to IGA, this legendary Metroidvania game could see the light with the spectacular retro-style prequel Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon which is the prelude to the main game Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Other than these, thanks to Inti Creates we could play with many other cool titles including Love & Destroy for PlayStation, Great Battle Fullblast for PSP, Gal*Gun for PS3, and above all the biggest homage to Keiji Inafune; the one and only Azure Striker Gunvolt series!

Strongly inspired by Mega Man Zero games; Azure Striker Gunvolt is a high octane series set in a futuristic Japan in which a new kind of beings are determined to conquer the world, their name is Adepts.
Apparently similar to common humans; they are strictly connected with the Lifewave, the invisible force of nature who links all the living creatures of our planet. There are seven levels of it, while average beings cannot exceed the third level, sometimes there are some exceptions that increase their level of existence to the seventh, and most powerful, grade…these are the Adepts.
Able to run fast like the wind, control the elements, and many other superpowers; they are unwittingly exploited by the evil megacorporation Sumeragi Group. Lead by Nova Tsukuyomi, this “Institute for Human Evolution” is just a cover company to achieve the public consensus that it needs for a further advance on his real plan, create a new world for the Adepts, and enslave all the common people. Luckily there’s a hero who battles far and wide to stop this madness; a knight in shining blue armor: the Azure Striker Gunvolt!

Appeared in two games for Nintendo 3DS, an OVA, and various web-novels; this new kind of hero used his connection with the electricity to defeat his ex-Adepts companions under the patronage of Sumeragi Group to create a future where humans and Adepts can live peacefully together.
