Bringing comparisons into view, despite some altered mechanics, it’s clear that 20XX wants to contend with the formula that Mega Man instills incredibly well. Now with that being said, I must point out that 20XX brings its own unique spin on that foundation, so much so that it has what it takes to stand on its own two feet. Though still, I just couldn’t help but get mentally taken back to everyone’s favorite bomber in blue. The question is, with the Mega Man X Legacy Collections out there, does 20XX do enough to stand tall enough? I’ll start with the premise and go from there. The game centers around both Nina and Ace, armored soldiers that wield a power blaster and an energy sword, respectively. Contracted by a pair of professors; Brighton Sharp and Arlan Flat, Nina and Ace are tasked with clearing out a selection of dangerous locations in an attempt to eradicate a robot uprising that’s tearing around Earth. What follows on from this is a fairly competent (if at times tough) roguelike 2D platformer that will challenge you to the end of your tether, and then some. One of the biggest distinctions that 20XX offers is that it dishes up procedurally generated content across a broad variety of elements. The levels that you play in 20XX are not pre-defined, nor are the boss sequences. Everything that you will soak up here is largely down to chance, which helps to keep things fresh. The aim of the game is to battle through each level, blasting the hell out of all forms of creatures along the way, and ultimately beating one of the eight epic boss battles that are designed to test your skills to the absolute limit. What makes 20XX quite interesting is that players will need to contend with some loss of acquisitions upon death, meaning that the game’s items and augs come in passive and permanent varieties. I found the balance here to be very well laid out and it sits quite well with the game’s roguelike elements. If you bite the proverbial dust, your temporary per-run pick-ups will fly out of the window, but you are indeed allowed to keep your permanent upgrades and unlocks. It helps, of course, that the core gameplay is tight and responsive. The game supports three tiers of difficulty; easy, medium and hard. The two playable characters, Nina and Ace, collectively offer up two wildly different play styles. Nina’s power blaster is a great choice for those that like to put some distance between themselves and their foes, whereas Ace’s energy sword is perfect for getting up-close and personal. Regardless as to which character you gravitate towards, both Nina and Ace handle largely the same, though, I must say that it’s nice to have the choice to play how I want to play. One of the main problems for me here is that I love Mega Man and this is clearly drawing inspirations from that. Though, 20XX doesn’t cater for the one thing that I love Mega Man the most for and to some degree, that hurts the overall experience. I quite enjoy the structured route that Mega Man takes. I like selecting my level and becoming antiquated with it through trial and error and muscle memory. 20XX’s procedurally generated content chases that away and in all honesty, I think it would have suited the former format. Don’t get me wrong, that level of never knowing what you’re going to get next is a thrilling concept that works well in the games favor, but it doesn’t cater for bettering run-times or speed-runs. My other gripe sits with 20XX’s inconsistent difficulty spike. Sure, this can be attributed to the game’s procedurally generated layout, but I couldn’t help but feel as though I had periodically pissed the game off for reasons unknown, and so it decided to beat me to a pulp. Mercifully, the latter concern here is not one that’s often forefront. Regardless of the few issues here and there, 20XX is a solid game that will certainly please those that enjoy the core foundation. Levels are packed with large variations of enemies, many of which come with their own attack patterns and behaviors. There’s some truly challenging platforming sections to overcome as well as tough, intricate boss battles that will see you pulling out your hair if you set a foot wrong. By and large, this achieves everything that it sets out to accomplish. Co-op play is also a neat feature that’s present. Verdict: 7/10

This game had me addicted like crazy. Even I am shocked that I put about 80 hours into it. I very rarely can actually play a game for that many hours. If you're into the idea of a roguelite game in the style of Mega Man, you can't do any better than this. I love the music and the gameplay is stellar. The graphics kind of have that "flash game" look but I found them pleasing to look at and very colorful. The game also performs great and is smooth as silk at high framerates. You won't be disappointed!

The big value is in the nostalgia for MegaMan X. For fans, it will be a great trip, but it is likely not for everyone.

Personally, I enjoy 30XX's gameplay much more than this one, but that doesn't mean the sequel completely replaces 20XX. There are still a few moments of brilliance that can only be experienced here. My gripe with this game is that there isn't enough theme variety so during the same run, you're bound to revisit a location with the same theme that you've already seen. In addition to that, some of the platforming segments are rather annoying to navigate around if you don't have the right kind of upgrades. That said, the game still succeeds at providing a fast paced platforming action akin to Rockman/Megaman, and 20XX has 3 different core sets each with visible visual changes on the characters. This allows for mixing and matching of the armor visuals, which is something 30XX doesn't have due to the only visual change in the sequel being now relegated to resonant armor. Besides, when on sale, this game goes for very cheap, so if you are looking for more Megaman inspired action, this is still a solid option even if you have already played 30XX.

I am sad that i have not left a review for this game before, coz i absolutely love this game. Got it years ago when i was craving a more replayable Megaman game, like a roguelike, and this was everything I wanted and more. I literally lost an entire weekend of my life playing this non-stop for 72 hours without realizing it. I, personally, love this game. May not be for everyone, but it's definitely for me.
