This game is a Doom mod that completely converts everything to a retro Mega Man style. Stages, weapons and skins from the classic Mega Man titles are here in a fast paced FPS and the execution couldn't be better. There isn't much to say about this game other than if the idea interests you at all, you need to play this game. The base game features a classic arena shooter style, in which all players have the same stats and exploring the level to find classic copy weapons and usable items such as E-Tanks, Ammo and assistants like Rush and Eddie is essential. Just about every weapon from Mega Man 1 through 10 are in this game, including those exclusive to the Gameboy games.

Alternatively, I recommend trying out the Class Based Modification mod and the Competitive Gondola Patch for it, which converts the game to be a class-based shooter. Instead of searching for weapons, your selected class determines your weapons. You can play as just about any Robot Master from Mega Man's history including some from Mega Man 11. Each class has moves faithful to their original boss fights, and it couldn't be a more well made product.

If you give this game a shot, the single-player is composed of bot matches in order of Mega Man's history. After fighting in each stage, you fight in the Wily Stages and ultimately an iconic boss such as the Yellow Devil, now in first person. Multiplayer is also an option with servers often up on Doomseeker. I often play this game with friends and adding bots to liven up the lobbies. The bots play the game reasonably well, naturally with great aim, but they often get stuck on ledges over pits and need to be shot at to come back to life essentially, which honestly is my only complaint across the entire game.
