In the year 20XX AD... A vicious army of robots is bent on destroying the world!! And behind this destruction is... Proto Man!?
Mega Man 5 is a good time, but, at this point, it starts becoming clear that Capcom was resting on their laurels a bit. Most of the Robot Masters are well designed, as is generally the case, but the bosses and their weapons mostly underwhelm. Some of the stages were fine, though! Proto Man's castle is fantastic. Still, this game just feels an awful lot like Capcom biding time until the Super Nintendo.
*I should also mention that this game is banned in Vietnam. One of the Robot Masters, Napalm Man, has a jungle stage filled mechanical tigers and punji pits. What on Earth.
