30XX Reviews

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.

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!

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.

Pretty fun roguelite, and can play it with a friend. Well polished.

I liked this game a lot it was really fun, i love indie games and especially megaman ones my sister liked the game a lot to, we would play it everyday.

Despite owning 20XX over on the Epic Games store, I've never had a desire to play it from a visual standpoint. Something about it was always off-putting to me. 30XX, though? Completely my jam. The regular mode can be quite challenging at the later stages, but the idea of a single-run, Megaman rouge-like game is honestly really fun! There's also the more traditional 'Mega Mode' that plays closer to a Megaman game, and a mode that lets you select a ton of different, published online stages. The characters are also quite fun; Nina and Ace fill in your Megaman X and Zero roles with their buster + special weapons and saber + technique playstyles. Delta combines that to something closer to Zero from the Megaman Zero series, but with his own twist. Dally is similar to Nina, but is otherwise completely different from the other 3, I'd say. I turned my brain off for most of the lore, seeing as I've never played 20XX, but it's still decently engaging I suppose. It's a shame the game is now no longer updated, 'cause it's a real fun time, especially with that co-op mode. Would've loved to see it get more content, but what we have now isn't bad at all.

Honestly, I didn't even notice I've played nearly 70 hours so far! This game is awesome. Mega man with a roguelike twist, super fun characters, and an actually tough endgame that challenges you in super cool ways while still being fun. This game is an amazing time and I'm not even done with it! And you can bet that when the story is done I'm gonna keep playing just cause of how fun it is! And there's community made levels?! Please consider getting this game!

Megaman X inspired game that’s roguelite. Also the sequel to 20XX, another Megaman roguelite. Co-op is included and you can get more permanent upgrades after each run.

I enjoyed 30XX. Its not particularly difficult with no modifiers, so you might get through it quickly and assume, like I did, that that was it and now its just going to be the same thing over and over just slightly harder each time. It had me ready to leave pretty quickly. The thing was, I was very annoyed that I had no idea what was going on and it felt like the game had no interest in having a story. The intro throws you in with little narrative setup and virtually no narrative bits as you move along. You can sometimes come across data lockers as you play that give you little bits of lore, but they don't seem to connect or mean anything or even relate to much. After three wins I was ready to quit and move on, because I had nothing really to hold on to. But, again, I was annoyed. So I went looking for a plot summary and found the bones of an interesting story! This led me to want to uncover a bit more in my own game, which led to more in game discoveries and the game changing with new levels and goals, which led to another 30+ hours of play. I still haven't unlocked everything I would have liked, but I've hit the limit of my patience and skill, so it is time for me to move on. I just wish the game had given me a little more to bite into in the beginning to keep me going. If I hadn't gone looking to a third party for a plot summary I would have missed a lot of fun.
