Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
24 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
It provides a challenge without being devilishly difficult (+supports the player) and has a lot of great gameplay mechanics which vary among the stages (and a lot of clever level-design ideas too).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
The Graphics remind me of the original rockman/ megaman but a bit better kind of like megaman X.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
11 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
Nearly everything about the game is a direct lifting from MM: level design, ladder climbing, doors opening, enemy design, using certain weapons against bosses due to their weaknesses, etc.
