Success is built on rhythm and anticipation; chaining parries and dodges without taking damage builds a combo meter that can be unleashed in the form of powerful finishing moves or screen-clearing special attacks.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 135 sampled reviews raised it
Music: The 90's cartoon inspired soundtrack has a special place in my heart - lots of hummable tunes that have that perfect Megaman balance between repetition and variety that leaves them stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 135 sampled reviews raised it
Its striking visuals, bold soundtrack, and unique mechanics coalesce into an experience that feels at once retro and modern, nostalgic and innovative.
