You play as Zero, the ace Maverick hunter from the Megaman X series. Sealing himself away in a capsule to eliminate his berserk tendensies, he awakens 103 years later, to find that the Reploids - a race of sentient robots that Zero is a forebear of - are being hunted down by Neo Arcaria, and thier leader.
New weapons like a extendable, 8-directional spear, and a shield that deflects energy attacks complement Zero's traditional sword and buster pistol.
The game, however, is hard. Very, very hard. Using a continue system, you can find yourself giving away lives like candy at boss fights and certain missions.
New additions to the Megaman gameplay formula include the ability to enhance your weapons with a Elemental Arttribute, the 'Cyber Elves' - English Name pending - a series of strange almost spirit-like beings that you accumulate and can use to heal, extend your maximum health, half all damage, or become immune to spikes - which, by the way are still like before with their instant-death fun. Also, the normal health bar that bosses traditionally have now can have extra 'layers'...esentially giving them twice to three times as much health as you would expect!
Most chilling of all is the unexpected leader of Neo Arcardia and the mastermind behind the Reploid massacres...and why he does it...
And the great conundrum remains...what happended to 'X', Zero's rival, partner, and friend? Is he still alive, or did the sands of time finnally catch up to him?
This game is not for casual players, as hard as it is, but the game as a whole make up for it spectacularly. I reccomend this game to any veterans of the Megaman X series, one looking for a challenge, and anyone else who wishes to unravel the secrets of Neo Arcardia.
