Story
The era is 20XX … A robot that had run away in the city was rampaging, and the world was in chaos. Nina and Ace were asked to control the riot by the doctor who created them.
By the way, the opening movie starts like this. I feel déjà vu!
Such a game
Go through the automatically generated map and defeat the bosses waiting for each stage. The purpose of this game is to defeat all 8 bosses, clear the EX stage (Wily stage), and defeat the last boss. Since it is a roguelike system, there is no life and it starts in the weakest state every time, but by acquiring strengthening items and shopping, operability such as physical strength, attack power, jumping power etc. will improve steadily.
The operability is very good with the usual actions in mega man such as movement, jump, normal attack, power (special attack), dash, wall jump.
■ About weapons
There are several types of normal attacks, such as shotguns and those that can attack up, down, left, and right. Any weapons have advantages and disadvantages. you have to choose one because you can not have only one. I recommend the one that can attack in the front three directions.
Also, by defeating the boss, you will be able to use the power (special attack) used by the boss. The power is powerful, but since it uses the power gauge below the HP gauge, think carefully about when to use it.
・ About weapons
There are various gimmicks such as scaffolding that flips upside down and a belt conveyor. There are stages that cross the moving scaffolding like the athletic stage, but it is safety because even if you fall into a hole or lava, you will not die and your HP will be reduced by only 1 and returned floor automatically.
Occasionally, vending machines or shops appear in a stage. We can convert nuts (money) into power and HP recovery items. There aren’t enough nuts to buy all items, so think carefully about how to use nuts.
There is also a challenge stage called the Glory Zone, which enter the red door.
You can get reinforced parts by clearing the set theme, such as annihilating the enemy within the set time and clearing the athletic stage with no damage.
The boss battle looks like the image below. Like Mega Man, there is a rest area in front of the boss field, there are shops or vending machine sometimes. Each stage has a target time (displayed at the bottom left of the screen), and if you defeat the boss within the target time, you can get additional nuts and enhancement items.
You can also earn credits called Soul Chips by defeating glowing enemies and bosses on the stage. Before the game starts, you can unlock items with Soul Chips and purchase items to bring in for the next play.
When you defeat the boss, you can choose one of the three rewards. The rewards are power (special attack), nut, and status up, and it is always difficult to choose one. After getting the item, you will see the portal of his 3 bosses that you haven’t defeated yet, and you can choose which stage to go to.
Good Points
・Strengthening system is fun
There are also equipment that allows you to dash in the air and jump in two steps, you feel good when you get it is amazing. You can also get companions who follow your character and attack, or more powerful items with very heavy disadvantages.
Since precise jump operation is required on the Wily stage, it is necessary to strengthen the operability to some extent, but be careful as it will be difficult if the movement speed and jump power are strengthened too much.
・ Supports online / local co-op play
This game supports not only local play but also online COOP play. By pressing the pause button during Coop play, you can warp to your partner’s position, or you can take away your partner’s life after dying, so even people who are not good at action games can easily participate. In many 2D action Coop-plays, the screen size is fixed and we often falls into a hole due to either move. Even if the player are separated from each other, the screen will follow both characters in this game, so I think this game is highly evaluated.
・ There are many replay system.
In addition to the difficulty setting, you can enjoy the system that will be unlocked after after story, the settings related to daily / weekly challenge, boss rush and various difficulty increases, and you can enjoy various tied up play. You can fully enjoy it even after clearing the story.
This game is recommended for such people.
This game is recommended for such people.
・People who like 2D mega man.
・People who like action rogue like.
If you love 2D Mega Man, you should definitely play it. Although he is “almost” Rockman, he is as interesting as he is. It’s a lot of fun when you get the item well.
On the other hand, This game is recommended for such people.
・ Those who are not good at 2D shooting games and jump actions.
It’s completed well and I don’t think there are any noticeable drawbacks.
This game will change from a shooting game to a jump action as you go to the latter half. It may be difficult for people who are not good at action games without double jumps and aerial dashes.
Also, keep in mind that it may take some time before you can clear it, as your character’s stats are poor and few items are unlocked at first.

Summary
It is a work that well matches the roguelike system with the fun of Mega Man. It’s a fairly casual game and easy to retry, so it’s easy to play again even if you die. Also, the fact that it can be played by two people is a very highly rated work.
Even after clearing the story, there are plenty of elements to play with, such as Difficulty setting and clearing with hidden elements, and it is a work that you can play for a long time, so if you are a 2D Rockman fan, you should definitely buy this one.
