Cleverly used the world's love of Mega Man against us all, it took until Bloodstained for me to even consider playing a Kickstarted game after this disgrace and Yooka-Laylee.

I do like the character designs of pretty much all the robot characters but with Inafune's past work designing Mega Man characters it's good that at least they got that right, gameplay is completly devoid of anything that made Mega Man fun and iconic, in paticualar a disgustingly frusterating Sniper stage, inconsistant difficulty, a final boss difficulty spike that if you made it this far will make you reach for the off switch. Story is completly unmemorable that the idea that this was going to be expanded to a multimedia franchise is nothing short of a gross oversight

It's my headcannon that Capcom released Mega Man 11 to slam dunk on this one to show how it's done and put him back in hibernation, maybe another Mighty number 9 game will give us Mega Man 12...

If you are looking for a true Mega Man successor give Azure Striker Gunvolt or Gravity Circuit a try, even for the Mega Man diehards or those curious this ones worth a skip
