Not a fan of this, but I can see how it could appeal to certain people. It just didn’t do it for me. Mega Man X is a series known for platforming. If you were going to change the formula then it should have created it’s own sub-genre of games like battle network and legends did, but shoe horning this into the Mega Man X universe just doesn’t feel right. Moreover I just didn’t really like the battle mechanics and story. I wouldn’t recommend it. There are much better things you could be playing
I think there's a potentially decent game here, but it's buried under a veritable mountain of flaws. This is a JRPG in the most barebones sense. There's a shallow story that backs up 20 hours of running down hallways and repeated floors. All the while you are hit with lengthy random encounters that will remind you why they're a thing of the past.
The combat is the bread and butter of the game since it's what you'll spend 90% of your time doing. I would say it's decent and requires a bit of strategy. Stat buffs and debuffs are really ambiguous and I never fully understood or took advantage of them. Hyper modes are neat but they feel weird to me since they're limited but the game expects you to be using them constantly.
I like the new characters a lot but they're underutilized story-wise. Spider debatably being the only exception. I'd die for Marino.
