What a pleasant surprise! Picked it up on a whim because I’m a big fan of mega man, and I had an absolute blast! I’m usually not one for roguelikes, but I saw this one through to the end because the difficulty was manageable, a run doesn’t take overly long and above all, it was just a lot of fun! Some upgrades tear some sections of levels in half, but I think that just adds to the fun of it, getting lucky with an upgrade combination that isn’t necessary to win but allows for some clever circumventing. Only gripe I had is that towards the end, it almost turned more into a touhou game than a mega man game with the amount of projectiles and visual information. I made it through, but it feels like by the end you either use your available moveset to the fullest or you’ll inevitably get hit because you can’t pay attention to five things at once. Besides that, the visual style isn’t much to write home about but it works, and the music was a pleasant surprise as well, quite catchy.
As I said, a nice surprise, definitely worth checking out, especially since it’s quite cheap on sale!
