Fixed various system-related issues.
First let me start off by saying capcom ported this game nicely unto a mobile device. X controls the same as he did in the Ames version (mostly), and the music is unchanged from the original. However I still do have gripes with not necessarily the game itself bu the limitations of the devise itself. Megaman is not well suited for a touchscreen game and as such I found myself having a hard time climbing ladders and unintentionally getting hurt. Also I've noticed that there is a transition screen in the stages which made backtracking impossible. And finally the background is sometimes missing certain elements like viles ship in spark mandrills stage. Overall, however, this is one of the best ports that I've played on the Mobile platform and I cannot wait for x2
This is a mostly solid port. First off, the touchscreen controls are OK since I’ve gotten used to them, but people haven’t really been liking them (I think). Some people say the new sprites aren’t good, but I personally like them. It’s kinda like bridging the SNES and the PSP versions together. Also, why are the stages not affected like in the original? Flame Mammoth’s stage doesn’t freeze, so they put the Heart Tank in a different location, and in Sting Chameleon’s stage they filled that one section with water so you could get to the Heart Tank. But otherwise, I like the Achievement and Shop features, so beginners can get an easier start with the shop while veterans can use the Achievements to test their skills. The difficulty levels can let noobs get an easier time or pros can try to beat it on hard. I also love the second soundtrack you can get in the shop. It’s nice how they replaced the original pictures with Maverick Hunter X art, and a little introduction with the words from that game’s opening. Overall, it’s not perfect, but it’s solid.
So, I’m assuming that you came here as a big Mega Man X fan, like me. Capcom tells little to nothing about other things that I have figured out and am going to tell you now. First thing is the Hadouken. The Hadouken is still in this game, you still just have to get all the items (all the armor upgrades, health upgrades e.t.c.) but, instead of it not carrying over into a password, this port has a built in save system which will save the Hadouken and pretty much everything else in the game. That’s as good of a transition as any to move on to the save system. Like I mentioned before, it saves everything, including the Sigma Stages! And, it lets you select which ever stage you want to play after unlocking it, so you can play Sigma Stage 3 and then go back to 1 if you would like. Lastly, I wanted to talk about the Game Center additions. There are 60 achievements to get, including beating the game without any items or upgrades and 59 more. They also added 4 different modes to compete in, (which all have their own leaderboard) from Score Attack to speed running the different stages, you’ll find one you’re good at. (Btw, I’m apparently in the top 1% of players in Score Attack, so I don’t know if I’m too good or no one wants to play this… So I’ll leave it to you whether or not you want to pay the 5 bucks (which I got for 99 cents on a HUGE sale) for this port. If you’re coming here to experience Mega Man X for the first time, just buy the Legacy Collection.
First off, I’ve had fun playing this game so far, I have come across some issues though. By the way fixing these 2 issues will make the game far more enjoyable. 1. The Directional-pad needs improvement on quick movements, changing direction quickly is very difficult and not fluid like it is on the console versions. 2. With that issue in mind performing the hadouken is very difficult, next to impossible. Whenever I have tried to perform the hadouken “naturally”(pressing down-forward-attack button) I can’t because I have to press down first on the D-pad and then the left or right arrow (pending on what direction I want to be facing to hit the enemy with the hadouken) on the D-pad followed by the attack button. Problem is, when I try and press “just the down arrow on the D-pad” I get the left or right arrow on the D-pad to activate along with that which stops me from performing the hadouken naturally, I can’t do that, I have to preform this weird unreliable dance on the D-pad, for example, I have to press left-down-left-down-left-attack button and I “might” perform the hadouken. That example is even less reliable for some strange reason when using the “right” direction on the D-pad. Thank you Capcom for putting Megaman X on the I-Phone. Please fix these issues and I guarantee if you put Megaman X 2-3 on the I-Phone I will buy them in a heart beat. Also put Breath of Fire 1-3 on the I-Phone while your at it, LOVE those games.
I am a big fan of all the megaman games but megaman X was overall a hundred percent my favorite series. So when I saw megaman X was getting added to iOS I was freakin out! When I bought the iOS version i saw the graphics were intensely good. I mean I do like 8-bit pixelated graphics but that for me doesn’t fit well for mobile. I easily like this better than the 8-bit megaman x. Also the ending is a little different in this one Do not read down if you don’t want to get spoiled X is standing on a cliff looking at the castle break down and fall into water as in the 8-bit version I can’t remember 100% of what happened but I think it just showed x dashing, now this may be wrong so don’t hate on me if it is but what I am trying to say is that the end is a little different. I like this ending better though. Here’s my idea Capcom please make a megaman x2 for mobile that starts close to the end of this one. Because the 8-bit megaman x series games all continue from what happens in the game before it so maybe you could make a slightly different megaman x2 just for mobile. Thanks for your consideration. Ps happy new year it’s 2019!
The best thing about this version is the music. You immediately hear familiar sounds but the visuals are not as familiar. The screen size and the proportion of X to the level is off. I could be wrong but I remember the camera scrolling more smoothly with X on other versions. In this version you move X from the left edge to the right edge and then a new segment again. It looks abrupt and weird. The proportions of the controls should be adjustable but in this game they are not. The controls are too opaque and large. There are some control placement presets available to select from. The controls would benefit from more customization options. For sale in the in game store are all the enhancements you can normally collect in the game. In the game store they are sold separately or in a bundle of all. Mastered BGM is also sold. I intend to earn the enhancements through gameplay and listen to the music through gameplay. I do not intend to put any more money into this game. I am a bit disappointed with it. I am however impressed with the lack of data collection. That was a selling point to me. More companies should just sell you the product without collecting your information. Capcom did that part right.
I absolutely adore the original SNES version of course, but this “remaster” is lacking in a lot of ways, I won’t get too into it since anything bad I’ve gotta say about this pretty much everyone else has already stated, but for a mobile game it’s definitely pretty cool and I do have a lot of fun with it. Something that has kinda bummed me out is that the “enhancements” shop appears to be down/unavailable on IOS and I really wanted to purchase the arranged BGMs, but oh well maybe it’ll be back up soon it’s fine. Do I recommend this, If you like Mega Man X, yeah sure it’s a cute little mobile de-make of the spectacular original it’s sure to keep you busy passing time and whatnot.
I bought this game when it first came out and I still play it, Megaman is my favorite gaming series and this game is still a blast to play never had any issues within the game or controller wise game works great with touch screen. This is still a great classic, mixed up a bit between SNES and PSP versions. I like the colorful graphics, gameplay and sound track still rocks! I recommend this game highly especially is Megaman fans. The game doesn’t disappoint and it’s a solid version of MMX. Now capcom it’s been a longtime please make X 2&3 or release a X collection that would be amazing. 😎 or better yet bring the legend/Dash series to mobile 😉. Rock on!
