it is not a femboy

Megaman meets rogue like. What a combo

If you enjoy roguelikes, 2d scrollers, and/or Megaman, you'll love this

Megaman roguelike the boy enjoyed playing together. Fun for a lazy afternoon.

vey fun game, a platformer like megana X, the good ones.... love the dlc cat machine character

Most everything feel really underwhelming, game doesn't feel as good as 20xx. Really disappointed in this.

I beat 20XX, and was excited to play through 30XX. Even more enticing, there is a persistent mode (Mega Mode) that does not make you restart the entire run when you die. This is much more me, so I selected it. Well, the problem is in RNG. I got to the final boss with some persistence, but did not even remotely have enough power ups in the world to make my run viable against the final boss. The end level is also ridiculous, introducing undodgeable crap and endless spawns of enemies. I thought the end level of 20XX was rough, but this cranks it up to another level. If feels like the only way you're going to be able to beat this is in the traditional mode, after oodles and oodles of practice and unlocks, and even then only when you get a lucky run, in which case you'll be able to just run over the final boss. I did this in 20XX, but 30XX seems to take it to a whole other level, and I just don't want to dedicate the rest of my life to beating this game.

a fine game, the art and spritework are really pretty, and it handles well. decently fun overall. unfortunately for me personally it doesn't reach the same highs as a regular megaman (x) game does, nor does it exactly feel the same - i would rather pick up a megaman game than 30xx if that's what i wanted to play, but as i said i still think the game is fun. i dont like comparing games in general when talking about them but in this instance, it is near impossible not to. a bit of criticism would be the level design - because of the procedural generation of standard mode, they kinda feel chaotic, rather than well-thought out levels with a central gimmick around them, and so at the end of the day it makes everything feel relatively similar. it's not a terrible thing, but it doesn't achieve the same level of cohesion a more structured platformer would. i still think it's worth your consideration and time!

Easy recommendation for Megan Man fanatics and tight patform enjoyers. If you don't fit either profile, like me, 30XX is a *maybe*? 30XX is a hard game in many aspects. Complex platforming labyrinths only further convolute as you go on. Bosses and mini-bosses can leave you an inch from death for the next level. Optional challenges rooms can end up killing your run if you bite off more than you can chew. This is the good difficulty in 30XX. You can master these elements and overcome it. Given its roguelite nature, you are expected to do so. Augments you find in a run can fill up your own shortcomings to round you out, or you can go all-in on a certain build to maximize power. The unfair difficulty stems from 30XX's punishing need to scale. Late-game bosses are absolutely damage sponges. Abundant enemies litter the level as you progress. The biggest con here is 30XX's ostensibly deep and varied augment / build variety is actually more shallow than once thought. You NEED damage to sustain. If your RNG is poor, you'll need to recycle augments to roll shops to force a damage augment. While mitigating RNG is a game itself, and great players can overcome bad luck through sheer skill, the majority may find this very frustrating. That is why if you don't fit the profiles I mentioned before, you may find this game overtly difficult and not worth the bother.

the game looks pretty good, but the weapons and level gimmicks are mostly worse than 20XX in 20XX i never got bored, but here, there are level-specific gimmicks that break the pace of the game really hard, and the weaponry you get is so underwhelming, and most of it is not worth using
