And like old-school games, once you get through it, it’s easy.Ĭomcept made one accommodation for those who struggle, though. It feels like the level is one step ahead when it’s really an unfamiliarity with the nuances of a boss or segment.
Difficulty increases equitably with your skill but each level also tests your use of those skills. But if you lose all of them, you will have to start from the beginning, which can be heartbreaking. You have a limited number of lives but the game is gracious with checkpoints between lives. As a side-scroller, there are a lot of blind spots so you can be on a roll but all of a sudden you hit an electric field that kills you. Trial and error is important and necessary, as well. 9 embraces challenge like a grandmother hugging her grandchildren.Ĭall (right) has her own level and style of play. But that is part of the challenge and Mighty No. I wish you could add more than three because it gets tricky scrolling through the abilities while you’re playing. You can designate up to three powers to different buttons. Beck can also use the powers of other Mighty Numbers and switch them on the fly.
You also have to use AcXelerate against bosses in order to inflict permanent damage and that can be particularly challenging. These abilities are temporary but they stack so you don’t have to worry about losing them as you pierce your body through enemies. Their AcXel sometimes adds abilities to your cannon.
Beck has a dash move called AcXelerate, and when an enemy takes enough damage, you can use AcXelerate and absorb AcXel of other robots. And though Beck and Mega Man differ in personalities, they also differ in abilities.īeck can’t charge his cannon, for one, but he can absorb enemy attributes. To be fair, Mega Man was bigger than video games and Beck hasn’t been around long enough for us to emotionally attach to him. Beck especially falls into that category. Ones like Aviator made me laugh, but the others made me raise an eyebrow or bored me with their humdrum temperaments. Mighty Numbers 1-8 have familiar Japanese tunes to their personalities but most didn’t express themselves enough for me to connect with them. It’s an unconvincing attempt to provide context for a game that could stand alone with just gameplay. It’s hard to invest yourself in the story. You’re tasked with saving the other Mighty Numbers, get to the root of the problem, and save the day. He is the only robot that has avoided a virus that corrupted a civilization of robots and every other Mighty Number.
