This game is heavily inspired by the Mega Man Zero and Azure Striker Gunvolt series, and there's even a level that pays homage to Castlevania. The physics and controls feel very good to play. Kana plays almost 1 to 1 identically to Zero, but with a few small differences. Most notably different is the addition of what amounts to ultimate attacks. This is clearly inspired by the Gunvolt series, and each of the bosses has these in addition to Kana herself having one. To use these, you must fill up a support gauge located in the top left of the screen by your health bar, and then press the corresponding button on your controller. In place of elemental chips, you collect boss cards. There's 8 of these in total, one for each of the primary 8 bosses. Each one has an elemental effect, with each one sharing an element with one of the others. This means you collect two fire cards, two wind cards, two elec cards, and two ice cards. What makes the duplicate cards special is their corresponding ultimate attack. Each card has its own unique ultimate attack that replaces Kana's default one when equipped based on the boss you got the card from. Returning is the EX Skill system from the Zero series. Each of the 8 main bosses will reward you with these after defeating them. As far as I can tell, this does not depend on your rank. Some of these EX Skills have resonance with particular elemental powers. Having a card with the correct element equipped will supercharge certain EX skills with elemental power, but keep in mind that each applicable EX Skill only works with one element. Otherwise, it will always do neutral damage. In place of Cyber Elves is what is referred to as "Extenders", which are basically like Item B Chips from the Mega Man ZX games. You can find some of these hidden in the stages and you can also buy these in the in-game shop with the currency you pick up in stages. Each one costs a certain amount of "memory" to equip, but you can expand the amount of memory you have in the shop as well. Even when you hit your limit, you can "overcharge" an extender to equip it even if it goes over your limit. These all do different things such as speed up your charge time, eliminate knockback, give you a double jump, give you an air dash, etc. There's also health upgrades you can find in certain stages, as well as what functionally amount to subtanks. It's worth exploring through stages properly to make sure you've collected everything you can. Kana also has a sort of stomp move you can use in the air, both straight down and diagonally. This can be used to damage and bounce off enemies, break breakable terrain, or push against moving currents of air. There's also a training machine you can use to learn to use your various abilities and do rematch fights against the bosses. Each of the rematches rewards you with currency to spend in the shop, so these are worth doing. It seems as though many of the characters in the game are based on Chinese Vtubers, but I don't really know much about that. It's not really all that important from a gameplay or story perspective, so I guess it ultimately just amounts to some neat trivia for those who are in the know. As for the story, it's nothing mindblowing but it's fine for what it is. There's several points that feel like they're directly paying homage to the Zero series, and one of the achievements you can unlock even pays homage to the theme music of a particular character from that series. If you're a fan, you'll know what I mean when you get to it. However, at the time of me writing this review the English localization is a little bit iffy on occasion. It seems to me as though the text was translated rather literally and wasn't adjusted so that characters would say things in a natural sounding way. It's not so bad as to make it unreadable or unable to be understood, but at the same time it is fairly noticeable. I do not know if this nitpick extends to other languages as well. I'm holding onto hope that a future update might address this, but I'm also not about to throw a tantrum or anything if not. Overall I've had a lot of fun with this game and I can easily see myself playing through it again in the future. I especially recommend this game to anyone who's a fan of the X/Zero/ZX games and Gunvolt/iX games. The whole thing feels like a love letter to Inti-Creates's work more than anything else, it's very clear that the devs of this game were big fans, and they definitely knew how to pull off this style of game correctly. For all intents and purposes, this game from a gameplay standpoint is functionally a "Zero 5".

This is effectively a Megaman Zero/ZX fangame, and an excellent one at that. It was made by people who clearly love the series and that perhaps more importantly understand what made those games fun. Every aspect of the game's presentation is just dripping with affection for Inti Creates' Zero/ZX series, and that love is backed up with mechanics and level design that show a deep understanding of the series' appeal as action platformers. If you consider yourself a fan of those games, you owe it to yourself to play this. Just skip straight to Hard mode and then do a second playthrough on the unlockable Master mode.

by far the biggest tragedy with this game is that despite being a legitimately really good mega man zero-like with smooth gameplay, fun abilities, very pretty art, and energetic music, the most views this game has on youtube is on a fetish video.

If you like Megaman Zero, play this game immediately. If you didn't, then try this anyways. It takes the Zero series formula and improves it a lot. Notable improvements No more raising cyber-elves. When you find an item in a stage, you can use it immediately, Lives have been removed entirely. Dying only affects your rank. There is a button in the pause menu to quickly restart a stage if you're playing for ranks. A weapon wheel has been added to quickly switch between elements. Guard breaks return from X8, meaning shielded enemies aren't as annoying. Oh, and this was made by the same guy who made the ZX prequel and ZX zeta fan games.
