The story in this game is generally considered weak and poorly translated, with many reviewers noting that it lacks depth and coherence, often feeling like a disjointed collection of missions rather than a cohesive narrative. While some players appreciate the nostalgic references to the Mega Man franchise, the overall plot is described as generic and filled with clichés, making it less engaging for those seeking a compelling storyline. Ultimately, the game is seen as more focused on gameplay than storytelling, with many players opting to overlook the narrative shortcomings in favor of the mechanics and character unlocks.
- “For Mega Man fans, I can't believe a mobile game has a story ending and the offline game is good.”
- “I really like the universe of Mega Man and this is a nice sort of overview of the story of the entire Mega Man universe so far; it summarizes many things and is probably the most accessible of the Mega Man games to date, which is a good thing considering the extreme difficulty of some of the mainline action platformers, for people who just want to experience the story of the Mega Man world.”
- “The pros is being able to once again play this game's unique original storyline all over again.”
- “The story is outright trash, par for the course with freemium games, but it works.”
- “You can get the gist of the story, but there are bad typos, mistranslations and just no effort to make it a fun read.”
- “The story is completely incoherent as it is, but the rough translation sure makes it even harder to attempt to go through.”

The gameplay of "Mega Man X Dive" has received mixed reviews, with many noting that it feels simplified and less polished compared to classic Mega Man titles. While the removal of gacha mechanics and the ability to unlock characters and upgrades through regular play is praised, players often find the gameplay repetitive and lacking in challenge, especially for those familiar with the franchise. Overall, it offers a fun, albeit shallow, experience that may appeal to die-hard Mega Man fans, particularly if purchased on sale.
- “Gameplay-wise, I was pleasantly surprised to see several changes - especially to the HUD - to optimize it for larger screens and external input devices, among system changes like the complete removal of the energy system and toggles for every limited time event.”
- “The gameplay is fun and snappy, being pretty close to the Mega Man X games I've played; the music is pleasant to listen to and the overall vibe is interesting.”
- “With the gacha and microtransactions completely removed, you are left with a love letter to the Mega Man franchise with above decent gameplay and a huge amount of content that has been received over the years.”
- “The gameplay itself is pretty bad, and with the F2P barriers removed, any given level is trivial to complete as there is essentially zero challenge unless you're actively trying to stay low level.”
- “Everything about the gameplay is just a gimped, watered-down version of regular Mega Man gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is overly simplistic compared to classic Mega Man games, but fun.”
grinding

The game's grinding mechanics have been a point of contention among players, with many noting that while the grinding has been reduced compared to its mobile predecessor, it still remains a significant aspect of gameplay. Players often find themselves needing to repeatedly run stages to gather resources for character and weapon upgrades, which can feel tedious and artificially padded. However, some players appreciate the grind as it provides a sense of progression, and the game has made strides to balance the experience by increasing rewards and removing microtransactions.
- “Levels do give as much currency as we need, and it isn't that grindy as other users say.”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “My main gripes are that the English translation has quite a few grammar/typo errors, and it does kinda get a bit grindy in the end game, especially if you want to try out different characters/weapons and have to grind the resources to fully upgrade them.”
- “There are also tons of fun characters, weapons, and abilities to play with, but you'll only be able to use a handful of them during a playthrough because making them usable requires grinding the same stages tens or hundreds of times to farm the required resources.”
- “The worst things here is mostly the lack of interesting challenge, the lame recharge system, and the horrendous grinding that makes getting other characters I want to play a mind-numbing nightmare.”

The music in "x dive" features a mix of remixed tracks from across the Mega Man franchise, appealing to long-time fans with nostalgic themes. While many players appreciate the iconic remixes, some criticize the original compositions as lackluster and note issues with the repetitive main menu music. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as solid but not groundbreaking, with a desire for more customization options in music selection.
- “The soundtrack consists of remixes of iconic tracks from every Mega Man game over the past 40 years.”
- “I really like that they added a soundtrack mode to listen to all the awesome remixed Mega Man music!”
- “The added end game credits sequence and new song really sells it for me as a complete Mega Man game experience.”
- “The soundtrack obviously borrows from all across the franchise, so it features some bangers, but most stuff written for this entry is once again just kind of 'ok'.”
- “My only complaint is with the looping music clip used on the main hub of the game; it's only like 5 seconds long and gets annoying. The original version had a better track there.”
- “Music is unfortunately weak for a Mega Man game.”
monetization

The monetization model of Mega Man X Dive has undergone a significant transformation, with the removal of all microtransactions and gacha elements in its offline version. Players appreciate this shift, noting that it allows for a more enjoyable gaming experience without the previous aggressive monetization tactics that hindered gameplay. Overall, the game is now seen as a more authentic tribute to the Mega Man franchise, offering content and rewards without the burden of predatory monetization schemes.
- “There's thankfully no microtransactions or loot boxes in this.”
- “Mega Man X Dive offline is a complete rebalancing of Mega Man X Dive, with zero microtransactions or gacha.”
- “At the end of the day, I will gladly pay $30 for a game with this much Mega Man art/content that has utterly changed its monetization philosophy so that I may enjoy all it has to offer at a one-time admission fee, and entirely at my own pace.”
- “A basic cash grab with repetitive nonsense that's only made to make the game centered around collecting characters, instead of gaining skills and beating the game.”
- “Back then I couldn't recommend it because the monetization was both horrific and ruined the gameplay.”
- “But xdive was already a faithful mobile game in the first place, the only issues it had was the greedy monetization and imbalance level difficulty & grindy progression.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players finding them serviceable but lacking in detail and depth, particularly given its origins as a mobile title. While some appreciate the character animations and artwork, others criticize the low-quality 3D models and bland environments, suggesting that the game could have benefited from a more substantial graphical overhaul for console and PC. Overall, the consensus is that while the graphics are adequate, they do not fully meet the expectations set by modern gaming standards.
- “Still this game is amazing, great graphics and nice gameplay, definitely worth it in my opinion.”
- “So much content, well-made levels, and pretty great graphics.”
- “No issues so far, works perfectly on Ubuntu, works perfectly with a joystick, gorgeous graphics and animations, can't wait to spend days unlocking everything!”
- “Given that it's a game originally intended for phones, its graphics are lacking, and the gameplay craves depth beyond grinding for stat upgrades.”
- “Instead we got pretty low-detail 3D models and very bland and basic stages and backgrounds; this was originally a mobile game after all, and they made no attempt to update the graphics from the mobile version.”
- “Controls don't work properly and the graphics on screenshots look much better than they are in reality.”
humor

The humor in "Mega Man X Dive" is characterized by its playful absurdity, such as characters hitting enemies with laughter and the exaggerated costs of upgrades, which players find amusing. Many reviewers highlight the nostalgic and comedic elements of the game, particularly in its first level and the presence of broken characters that poke fun at the main story. Additionally, the persistence of bugs adds a layer of unintended humor, making the overall experience feel lighthearted and entertaining.
- “One of the most hilarious parts of the game has to be the first level, which takes place on a remake of the X1 opening highway stage.”
- “Some event characters are almost hilariously broken, alongside some choice characters you can get pretty much from the get-go that make a joke out of the main story.”
- “It's hilarious how some of the bugs from when the game was live have somehow still stuck around and not been fixed, such as levels breaking and not progressing.”
optimization

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some players noting good performance in the offline version, while others criticize the implementation of DRM that leads to stutters and poor controller menu navigation. Additionally, the lack of controller optimization and issues with cursor movement detract from the overall experience, making it less enjoyable for some users.
- “Overall, if you've never played a Mega Man game, I would recommend the X Legacy Collection over this, but if you're a fan of the series, this is a fun enough entry that allows you to kick some butt with all of your favorite characters, with some optimization and build crafting for those interested in min-maxing.”
- “A vastly superior alternative to the mobile online version that provides higher performance, faster loading times, and respect for the player's time.”
- “The offline version has good optimization, so it's very enjoyable to play a game without any lags or crashes.”
- “Capcom adding DRM from a dodgy Russian company with a bad trust rating will mean no Steam Deck compatibility, as well as installing malware on your computer and compromised game performance.”
- “DRM causes stutters and makes performance worse.”
- “Menus are not optimized for controller play.”

The game offers high replayability, particularly for Mega Man fans, as players can unlock and play with various characters from the franchise. However, some users note that the replay value diminishes after completing all levels and unlocking everything, especially due to progression restrictions on character availability. Overall, while there is potential for replayability, it may be limited for those who reach the endgame.
- “Very high replay value and great for Mega Man fans!”
- “Replayability may be a factor once someone has beaten all levels and unlocked everything.”
- “If there's a character in the franchise you like, there's a decent chance they're playable here.”
character development

Character development in the game is highlighted by its nostalgic and diverse character designs, reminiscent of older Mega Man titles, which appeal to long-time fans. The inclusion of various themed costumes adds a fun layer, although some players express a desire for more innovative approaches in other gacha games. Overall, the character designs contribute positively to the gameplay experience, enhancing both nostalgia and enjoyment.
- “The character designs are very nostalgic for someone who's played a lot of older Mega Man titles. There are typical gacha designs with bridal, swimsuit, and festive costumes, but I really wish this would happen with other gacha titles that are set to hit their end of service.”
- “A lot of interesting character designs that scratch the itch for not having a new X entry since X8. The game handles well and can be fun to play.”
- “The music and character designs are good, and it's actually offline (unlike a lot of ports of offline games these days), with no more lag when pressing buttons.”
