A bot does help with pickups if you die too much, but thankfully this is optional.Īnother problem is that the visuals are occasionally shown at an angle that makes knowing where you’re going to land a little difficult. Worse still, this type of obstacle never shows up again, leaving it all feeling a bit contrived as a result.
One level has a set of two rotatory saw blades with a small gap underneath, but it’s only after you’ve been killed by them for the first time that the game tells you how to get past them by dashing, and that still doesn’t solve the problem of where to start the dash and how long for. While the majority of the levels feel like you’re playing a Mega Man game, there are small moments that are just infuriating. This is a neat idea, as the tone seems to be to save enemies rather than destroy them. It’s mostly the standard Mega Man affair, but a nice twist is that if you’ve obtained the ability that a level’s Might Number is weak to from a previous boss, they’ll occasionally interfere with certain hard-to-navigate hazards. Of course, the main focus of these kinds of games is the level design. 9 may be disappointed that the only new mechanic isn’t all that satisfying to use. As a result, those hoping for something intuitive with Mighty No. It’s not as exciting to pull off dashes to combo enemy takedowns compared to blasting enemies with a charged blast from the latter NES Mega Man games. It certainly livens up dashing, but it’s not too different to control Beck otherwise. Dashing also replenishes used energy from the weapons of the other Mighty Numbers. Depending on the colour of the pixels that surround enemies in a stunned state, you’ll then either have the ability to do more damage with shots, run faster, jump higher, or save energy for health recovery items. Beck can blast away at enemies with his arm cannon, but when enough damage is dealt, he can dash into them to absorb their essence. 9 sadly has a few such oversights in the visual details during cutscenes and it’s quite jarring, to say the least.Īs for the actual game, it’s standard Mega Man affair when it comes to the controls.
Cartoony visuals can look charming, but there are details that need to be in there to make things not feel cheap, such as moving mouths when characters talk. I’m not going to be so cruel to suggest that they’re PS2 standard, but they don’t look like a giant leap above the likes of MegaMan X8. The visuals on the other hand look distinctly odd.
