About this game
Mega Man sets out against Dr. Cossack’s robot forces. Each defeated boss grants a weapon with its own attack range or effect, giving you choices as you move through subsequent challenges. The basic Mega Buster now charges a stronger shot, trading preparation time for greater damage. Movement tools also matter: Wire and Balloon can be found during stages, and Rush provides assistance. Selecting equipment and deciding when to release a charged shot sit alongside the platforming and shooting.
