Well, that wasn't too bad! I beat it. It took about five hours, because I got stuck on the final boss til i learned its(her) pattern. I enjoyed it for what it was, a spiritual Mega Man successor. The responsiveness of the controls was the best thing about it. The plot was bare-bones but serviceable. The music wasn't too memorable, but the song that plays at the credits is hilarious. I had no problem with the graphics. The difficulty was on point. I only had one technical hiccup in the form of a crash while fighting the final boss in Call's stage.
I wouldn't be against a sequel. I'm sure they could improve greatly on the formula. I would ask that they work on the character interactions and add a few more story scenes that flesh out Beck and the main cast a bit more.They fell a bit flat, and I don't think Inafune and co did enough to differentiate them from the cast of Mega Man. It's kinda puzzling actually, that you don't really get to know Beck at all, outside his willingness to do what he's told and race into danger. Call got more development in her single stage than Beck throughout the entire game. She actually had some philosophical questions, lol.
All in all, I'd say it's worth playing, but if you're unsure whether it's worth the money, then I'd suggest waiting for a sale. Five hours or less might be considered short to some people, but I felt I got my moneys worth. I think I had a good time with it unlike a lot of people, because I went in with no expectations for anything more than some good side scrolling platforming action. I wasn't displeased, even though they could've done much better in some areas. That said, it was solid, and I'm willing to give Inafune and co another shot to prove they can do better. Hopefully they get the chance.
3/5
