A new robot, X, battles eight Maverick bosses in a darker future. Wall jumps, dashes and hidden upgrades made it the perfect 16-bit evolution of Mega Man.

Loved

Not so much
- Short
- Final fortress is uneven
Play it if anyone who wants tight action with smart secrets.
Skip it if players who dislike trial-and-error boss fights.
