The controls on this version are both much better and much more customizable than they were on the PS1 port. So far, I’ve played up to Episode 2, on the second-easiest difficulty setting.

Pretty fuckin’ good so far!

Beat the game as Beck; probably not playing it again as Gunvolt or any of the DLC characters though. Customizing weapons was fun as fuck as Beck, but is very bare-bones with Gunvolt, so I don’t think I’ll bother. Back is obviously the character the devs put the most time and care into, and he is definitely the most fun to play as.

This game is pretty good, too.

This game takes Mega Man 3’s strengths (without all of it’s numerous weaknesses), and expands them into an actually finished game: it has mostly great level design throughout it’s runtime (only Cossack stages 2 and 3 let down the unanimous quality of the rest), along with a banger of a soundtrack, improved controls, and a classic roster of Robot Masters. The only undesirable thing passed on from 3 is the tedious level design at times, but nowhere in this game does the difficulty spike even nearly as badly as 3’s later stages do. I’ve only beaten this game a few times, as it’s pretty long; the fact that it managed to leave such a positive impression on me should tell you how much I like it!
