Adored this game. I'm a big fan of the Mega Man Zero and ZX series, so it was a blast to play a new action platformer from Inticreates full of tight stages and bosses. I was a bit confused starting out -- it took me about an hour and a half to figure out what the game was really asking of me with the ranks and flashfield and what not. Once I figured out the language I wound up playing it non-stop for like two weeks, getting S-ranks in every stage and then snagging the true end.
I don't know why so many latter day Mega Man-y games have such brief fortresses -- like Mega Man 11 this one basically has one real fortress stage cut with a bunch of boss rushes. I assume they ran into some time/budget constraints and had to take some shortcuts (the true end straight up reuses a level Mega Man X2-style). The final bosses (including the true end) are absolutely stunning though, so I still came away from the game feeling satisfied.
Outside of that complaint, this is just a great action game full of amazing bosses and adorably edgy writing, and holds up really well to high level play. It's everything I wanted and way more than I expected out of what was originally a 3DS eshop release. Very excited to play the sequels.
