One night while patrolling, a heroic android named X discovers a crashed elevator car and investigates. Expecting to find injured civilians or workers, X hurries to help, but instead finds an army of new androids with shape-shifting powers.
Led by another android named Lumine, the army pledges that they are there to help assist with humanity's efforts. Unfortunately, an old villain from X's past comes back and kidnaps Lumine, sparking even more war and turmoil. Playing as X, you must battle through the war-torn, sci-fi environments and battle against android foes as you uncover the truth behind the Jakob Project and Lumine's army.
It's an interesting story that's much more complex than the classic Mega Man games, offering more intrigue and mystery. While it might be a bit too complicated for some, most players should enjoy the narrative in Mega Man X8. While all of the characters offer similar play-styles, each one has unique powers or strengths.
For instance, X and Axl are both great for taking out enemies from afar with their various firearms, while Zero slashes through enemies in close-quarters fights.
There are eight stages in total, progressing in a linear fashion, with major bosses punctuating each level. As you defeat each boss, you'll earn their weapon or general power for use in later levels.
Certain weapons are more effective against specific enemies and bosses, adding a great layer of strategy to the action.
Unlike Mega Man X7, X8 features entirely 2. There have also been some character balances and changes, meant to produce a more classic Mega Man feel. While the flashy polygonal graphics might make you feel otherwise, the gameplay and core concepts of Mega Man X8 are still firmly rooted in the series' past. If you enjoy blasting down enemies in challenging yet colorful environments while expanding your arsenal with new gear, there's plenty of stuff to like about Mega Man X8. The story can be a bit convoluted at times, but its hardly the focus, as the explosive and addictive action is sure to keep you engaged.
Beating bosses and experimenting with new equipment is as fun as ever, beckoning you to perfect your strategy. Multiple difficulty modes and unlockable goodies make return visits worthwhile, making Mega Man X8 a decent game for multiple playthroughs. Our heroes, X and Zero need to stop Sigma who has once again been brought back. X and Zero are really up against it this time. I liked the story; it is a good continuation of the last game and you have three different endings to experience.
Not a great deal has changed with the visuals in Mega Man X5. To be fair, this was already a great looking game and Capcom kept things very similar for this title.
I like the way the different Mavericks looked and the level design is pretty cool with many what looks like prerendered elements to them that really do help them pop. The soundtrack is badass and one area where the game improves upon what Mega Man X4 offered in my opinion. I am a huge Guns n Roses fan and I can see the influences from them all over this game! I also liked how there were classic Mega Man tracks in here too.
The biggest gameplay change here is that Zero and X can now duck. The animation may be a tad weird, but it is a feature that is long overdue in this series. You select who you want to play as at the start and you can change in-between levels.
Each character has their upgrades as you would expect and if you have played any of the Mega Man X games before, you will have a real sense of familiarity as you plow your way through this game. One thing I will say about this game is that it features some of the easiest boss fights in the Mega Man franchise in my opinion. The levels are rather challenging as you would expect, but I was quite surprised at what an easy time I had with the bosses.
In general, I would say that this is an easier game than the one that came before it. I feel that Capcom played it really safe with Mega Man X5. This is far from a bad game, it is actually a good game and if you liked the other X games, you will get a lot of enjoyment out of this.
