Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
And yet, this game sucked me in with its lovely 2D sprites and gameplay, proving you don't need to be a Megaman aficionado to enjoy this game!
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
As someone who's played a ton of Mega Man and X games, this feels like an official entry if not for the completely different characters.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
In local co-op, the screen will expand to fit both players according to the distance between them (similar to Smash Bros. if you've played that), but online, you get your default screen view.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The game graphics have changed quite a bit for the better, the game is very fun still.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
At first when I started playing this game I did not much notice the music because of the amount of carnage I was unleashing during my time playing this but thankfully to the soundtrack I was able to listen to the soundtracks in their purity without the sounds of carnage and I want to thank Cityfires for their awesome work on the upbeat soundtrack that really brings this game to life.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
This game like others like it (Binding of Isaac) excell on the replay value the fun only ends when you cannot think of anything else if you think you cannot do anything more with single player then connect with other people in Multiplayer to expand the chaos and fun of the game by obliterating everything in sight and whats even better?
