The Blade Runner-style storyline finds a sentient Mega Man hunting down "Mavericks," robots gone rogue. A problem that affected X3 greatly.Set 100 years after the events chronicled in Capcom's 8-bit Mega Man games, Mega Man X makes its PC debut as a port of the Super NES cartridge. The soundtrack is great but the instruments used are monotonous and causes all the themes to sound too similar. I do understand where the complains come from since it's ultimately artificial difficulty to a point. I actually kinda liked them because it makes fine play more desirable, you're always limited to a certain number and can buy them after going back to R&D instead of having to farm for them.

We have TWO bike stages, an autoscroller, a very meh stealth section, a minigame rush (With the first one being the worst since it's a forced minute long section), a gravity room thingy with one of the worst "mini bosses" in the game until you fully realize how to dodge all those fucking spikes (With Axl being the best for it), an entire level dedicated to an ELEVATOR, a vertical scrolling stage and the last stage being full of spikes near the end. Some of the secrets are BS (A lot of the ones involving the charged crystal wall) and backtracking is kinda crazy.Īs mentioned earlier, the stages are super gimmicky and there's an alarming lack of standard platforming and big levels. Nowadays I'm a much better player and just got all the AAA ranks without even finishing the game twice yet I still must get enough metals to purchase two more bonus characters with nothing left to do at this point, so now I kinda have to grind metals if I want the last achievement.
The hardest difficulty actually changes things up here and there instead of just throwing more enemies at you and calling it a day.Ī few points a lot of people may dislike but that don't affect me greatly include:Ĭurrency: By the time you get to the end of your second playthrough you'll probably have most things purchased by then and I finished it tons of times on PC several years ago and bought absolutely everything with no problems. Vile randomly interrupts you midway through several stages, introducing the element of surprise that was missing since the SNES games. The boss rush is its own dedicated stage. The game acknowledges your no damage runs by marking them in your records.Ī ranking system that actually matters and pushes you to play each stage perfectly as possible for a full AAA rank save.Ĭontrols and mobility are pretty much the best in the series. The bosses also force you to dodge attacks even if you abuse of their weakness thanks to the overdrive attacks, so spark mandrill's syndrome is minimum. You can escape from any stage even if you have yet to complete it, something that should've been part of the game since the very first one.īoss patterns are far more clear, making no damage runs far more fun and interesting. You're able to turn off navigators entirely. You're able to mix and match the armor parts, something I've been waiting for since before X6. You can unlock the secret version of every character under a single save file and without having to input cheat codes for them. You can instantly fill the tanks after each mission, eliminating pointless grinding for them. You can get absolutely everything for everyone thanks to the shop and rare metals, so no need to plan who should grab which heart tank and all that crap.

It does fix a LOT of issues the series had for seven entries: Level design is pretty much its weakest point. It's a great game but the stages are way too gimmicky.
