The gameplay is a unique fusion of bullet dodging and platforming, successfully translating mechanics from 2D games like Mega Man into a 3D environment, enhanced by engaging boss battles. However, players may encounter a frustrating quirk where landing too aggressively on platforms can cause them to slip off, adding an unintended challenge to the experience.
“A blend of bullet dodging and platforming that 3D platformers just haven't been able to pull off to the same degree that 2D ones have until now, with some great bosses rounding out the gameplay.”
“- Maybe it's an intended feature or not, but there's a mechanic/quirk that makes the player slip off of platforms if they edge them too hard when landing on said platforms.”
“What happens when you take 2D Mega Man and directly translate about 75% of its mechanics, then splice it a bit with shmups, all into a 3D game?”
