This is a decently fun remake of stages and bosses from the Megaman X (and occasionally classic) series interrupted by a really pointless and soulless currency/level up system that takes 10x as long as the actual stages do, even when you're cheating to avoid grinding. The amount of cool references and deep cut characters you can play as are what I can only describe as disappointingly bittersweet. Being able to play as Tron, Bass.exe, and Zero Nightmare is something I want from a real X game, but X9 this is not, and it's existence makes me doubt we'll ever see that game come to light.
