This has to be one of the most stylish, rich and tight-controlling Mega Man-inspired games out there. The grappling hook, while mostly optional, adds a lot of depth to your movement and the combat alike, as do the many unlockable burst moves you can customize your character with.

The melee-based combat can feel awkward at first, but you get used to it, and that one passive skill that furthers your attacks' reach certainly helps. Game is basically martial arts Mega Man Zero.

The levels are all winners too, which is super rare for this kind of game (even actual Mega Man ones). I think the only dud is the short, missile-dodging sections in the highway stage that mimic MM8's slide/jump ones, but that's about it. The level design is perfectly suited for fast gameplay and all levels are a joy to traverse, making you want to replay them to try and get through them faster right away.

Music is incredible too. Dominic Ninmark never disappoints.

But yeah, can't recommend this enough. I hope it does well so we can see a followup someday.
