30XX Reviews

Improves on the original in every way. Gameplay feels exactly like I hoped it did. Great soundtrack and roguelike shenanigans.

Solid side grade to 20XX. It's different enough to be fun to go back and forth

Absolutely a must for MMX Fans! Even better with friends! Don't give up after just a few runs. It is hard, but it is worth it!

Game forces me to find outside guides just to look up what upgrades do, which is pretty lazy design

Perfect game to zone out to while listening to podcasts.

Very good mmx/mmz styled roguelite game. I like the art style, music and gameplay. I even enjoy the story, it weaves into the roguelite gameflow pretty well. It has a lot of smoothing out of game systems that might be controversial if they were in an actual mmx game, but feel nice in this game. The builds you can do with items during runs are cool, adds variety to the game. The biggest strength of this game i feel is its randomization and scaling systems. At its core its a mmx game, 9 unique levels with bosses you fight and gain a new ability, then a final level with multiple bosses. The difference is that each level is randomized enough to make it feel fresh each time, while also being coherent and unique. Its scaling system means as you grow your build through the run, the levels increase in difficulty to match, and this includes increasing the scaling of the level generation. Each part of a level, while having randomized elements, follows a general idea of what that segment of the level is supposed to be. As you get farther into the run the generation becomes higher scaled, so the same segment can be longer, have more difficult enemies, and have more difficult platforming. This makes every level have a lot to offer, because that same level gimmick you had in level 1 of your run last time wasnt that hard, but it might be harder as lvl 9 in your next run.

Oh. I never reviewed this. I like this game for its local co-op. I play it with younger family members and they panic and die while I help them as best as I can - killing 20 enemies allows me to revive them. Beyond that, it's got a soundtrack that slaps and overall, it's very much an upgrade to 20XX. There are some secret plot points and things to do to unlock more plot points. I'm surprised there is no hour-long youtube video on "the lore of 30XX." lol

If you like Mega Man, you'll like this... Warning, extremely difficult and I only beat it because I got lucky with the right combination of upgrades on my "I beat it" run.

This game is too difficult. I beat 20XX (and quite enjoyed it) but I can't beat this. The appeal of a roguelike like this should be, trying again and again getting randomized rewards each time, until you finally get lucky and get a perfect combination of rewards that stack in just the right way to enable you to beat the game. In 30XX, after playing hundreds of runs, I've gotten lucky and gotten perfect combinations of rewards quite a few times, but even with those perfect combinations of rewards, I still can't beat the game, and it's not particularly close. So what's the point? Even when I get perfect luck, there is no payoff. I hit the final boss over and over again with 6x-multiplied, +22 power fully charged shots, and the boss shrugs it off and eats through two full reserve tanks of my health and kills me. The perfect combination of rewards amounted to nothing. In a game like this, I don't mind dying a lot. But I'd like to win at least once. This game did not give me that satisfaction.

Extremely fun, feels exactly like Megaman Zero game. Has a zero-like character, an x-like one, and one that is a mix of the two with more frenetic gameplay. Good multiplayer (local and online). Breathtaking soundtrack, as good as 20XX. I would recommend you avoid story challenges, there is no real reward and the lore is mediocre. Also, note that it was announced that this game would not receive any more big updates.
