The D-Pad is used to move forward and backwards, and strafing from side to side. When all is said and done, the Vita actually has a more comfortable control scheme than the PlayStation TV does. Mega Man Legends uses all four triggers, so you’ll have a bit of a time setting up a control scheme. This is where things get very tricky if you’re playing this on a PS Vita. Not bad for the price you’re paying for this PSN download. Due to its adventure take on the Mega Man formula, you can expect to put in at least 6-7 hours into the game. This is probably the longest Mega Man game on PSN right now. Others never get easy and are always tense when you’re fighting them, even when you know how to dodge their attacks. Bosses are also very tough, requiring you to fight them a few times to learn their patterns before you’re able to take them down with ease. Each dungeon is harder than the last, requiring specific upgrades to be able to traverse it easily. The difficulty is also something people will be familiar with. The depth comes from Buster Gun Upgrades that can increase the power, quantity, range, and speed of your shots. The Buster fires off normal shots and special weapons are significantly more powerful but have limited ammunition. You have a Buster Gun and Special Weapons. A helmet can help you from high falls (and make you look much more proper as a Mega Man character), leg upgrades to increase your jumping capabilities, or special weapons that can access secret rooms.Ĭombat is something Mega Man fans will be familiar with. Like the games of the Mega Man X series, equipment can be modified to improve your skills. The Support Car is a bit different, in that it lets Roll create new equipment and weapons for you with materials you find as you crawl through the game’s dungeons.Īrmor Upgrades are a pretty important part of the game. In The Shop, you can buy new weapons or equipment, such as armor upgrades, new types of buster gun upgrades to increase power, energy, or range, or items to be able to refill your health gauge while out in a dungeon. Shops come in two forms: The Shop on Apple Street, and Roll in the Support Car. The main aspects of these areas goes in dungeons that become accessible as you play the game and the shops. It’s borderline sandbox material, but not quite as expansive. Instead of going through missions, you will be running around a large hub world where you will be exploring towns and dungeons while fighting off enemies and bosses.Īs you begin the game, you’ll be introduced to the hub world, which is a set of large 3D arenas that contain dungeons, towns, NPCs, shops, and more. It’s very different from the typical Mega Man formula. Mega Man Legends is a 3D action adventure game with platform and combat elements thrown into the mix. It’s an entertaining story and adds a lot of color and fun to the franchise. This was one of the first games in the series that had a large story presence and there’s a ton of comedy thrown in especially from the Bonnes. The story of Mega Man Legends is very expansive for a Mega Man game. Once there, they must find parts for their ship and protect the island from the Bonnes, a group of pirates coming in to steal the island’s treasure. Upon returning from a dig, their airship, The Flutter, crashes onto an island. (There’s a Star Fox 64 reference in there. One such group is a young boy named Mega Man along with Barrel and his granddaughter, Roll. The only land in the world consists of small islands that contain ruins where archaeologists known as Diggers hunt for power sources to sustain their world and make profit. Mega Man Legends takes place in a world that is covered by an endless ocean. Here I am with another retro review, for Mega Man Legends! Story With an unexpected turn, Capcom and Sony have put the original game on PSN, with high hopes for the second game to come as well. Just last week, the Legends series continues to live on. That was the prequel, The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. Not too long ago, a game in the Legends series became a digital download that could be played on the PS Vita and PlayStation TV. On the Nintendo 3DS, the planned Mega Man Legends 3 got cancelled, which upset not only Nintendo fans, but also fans of the Mega Man Legends series who were excited to see new adventures for Mega Man, Roll, Tron, and the others. The series has had a bit of a sad note even before they hinted that there’d be no more games in the series. Mega Man is one of the most loved franchises of the gaming world and it saddens our hearts to know that there will likely never be another Mega Man game released, outside of collections and ports.
