“I've been trying to formulate my thoughts on this game... it's not a.. bad game, per se. It's a functional, and rather enjoyable game. It has two DLCs that are fairly cheap which increase the variety of ways to play. I…”
“GREAT GAME BUT TOO LITTLE CONTENT. Beaten in 6 hours with only grindy unlocks left to explore. Really craving more. Played using a PS5 controller just fine despite the ominous XBox 360 controller warning. VERY tight…”
“Enjoyed the game a lot. Great co-op as well. Good balance of difficulty with challenging levels but not too frustrating to make me want to quit.”

“Brilliant. If you're a fan of Mega Man and roguelikes at all, this is an absolute ROMP. I haven't completed it yet and I honestly don't know if I want it to end. Amazing graphics, music, mechanics, controls, and…”
“A wonderful mashup of taking the gameplay outline of Mega Man X and throwing in Roguelike elements, while I'm not one for Roguelike games, this is the first one that's warmed me up to them nicely. Love a game with a…”
“Looking for more Megaman after Megaman is all played? Try 20XX. Your blue-blasting and red saber-swinging heroes dash into action, only this time with randomized boards so you keep honing your platforming skills, rather…”

“Tons of fun if you're a fan of megaman or just action platformers in general. Lots of replayability. Goes on sale really cheap.”
“God, why only $1 for this gem?! This game is worth full price, guys!”

“If you're looking for a game that will teach you to hate your own keyboard or controller, you've just found it. 20XX is a visually very good "Mega Man" clone very ,,fun'' one.. The game has so much content that you can…”
“The gameplay cycle is very good, how every run is different and you can tweak your weapons etc... I think the art looks very pretty aswell. But I do have to say that the platforming can feel kinda ass at times, if…”

“Unfortunately, it's both too easy and too difficult. It's trivial to get a busted run going just stacking basic attack damage, but you'll frequently run into issues in late game areas where the cycles for moving or…”

“Fast paced wild platforming Mega-Man action First I want to give big props to CK, the developer, they heard through the grapevine that a roguelike fanatic just got through a terribly difficult time in her life. They went out of their way to help me celebrate getting housing…”

If you're only gonna buy one, then yes, get 30XX. 30XX is a bigger game, with more in-depth mechanics, more features, a level editor, beautiful art style, even a…”

The bosses change depending on order and once you figure out your weakness, you can adapt easily. Total…”
