For many players who love 2D action scrolling games, “Mega Man” series is definitely an indelible classic of childhood. Because it is so classic, many independent developers continue to launch new fan works, so that our series of reports can be continuously updated XD. This time by an independent developer JDE A fan game built from scratch using the Godot engine——《Mega Man W》, it is the recent excellent work of colleagues. This game not only perfectly restores the retro 8-bit pixel style of the Famicom era on the screen, but also adds huge new content. For players who like Mega Man, this game is worth playing:

Mega Man W Introduction
The background of the story is set in an unknown virus crisis. The robots are infected and driven into madness. Players will once again control the blue bastard and embark on the familiar adventure journey against 8 new robot bosses:
The gameplay is the same as in previous generations, but with a new storyline and unique 8-bit BOSS designs. Moreover, each level is full of novel mechanisms and traps. After defeating the boss, you can also obtain new special weapons:
What’s more interesting is that the game has a very rich collection and unlocking elements built into it, including:
-
Collection discs, achievement trophies and monster manuals are scattered everywhere.
-
Up to 100 additional challenge missions.
Different from the traditional reliance on a single auxiliary tool, this game allows players to switch to different auxiliary equipment according to their own play style to cope with the tricky level terrain. And you have to collect screws in the level to buy parts in the store to modify the ability:
The author also tried out this “Mega Man W” for a while. For an old player like me, this game perfectly captures the essence of the Mega Man series and retains all the classic elements. However, the difficulty design of this game is on the high side, and there are many levels that test the player’s ability to operate to the extreme. Even the players below have left messages saying that it is more difficult than the original Famicom series.
And after you beat a normal Mega Man level, you won’t be too lazy to play it a second time. However, “Mega Man W” has also developed “Rogue Mode” and “Endless Mode”, which greatly improves the playability; and the process of searching for and collecting discs also satisfies the exploration player’s sense of accomplishment (actually, it is torturing players XD).
In summary, if you are also a player who misses Mega Man and wants to challenge a difficult action game, this free and sincere work is definitely worth your time to download and experience it!
