It's Mega Man, and it isn't really trying not to be. Jumps are a bit higher, and there are only four bosses whose weapons you obtain, but still very Mega Man, even if prior to sliding or buster charging. As Mega Man, it's decent, and one neat thing is that it has RPG elements; as you kill enemies or grab... point canisters? you can choose to increase your life, ammo, attack, or defense, each of which maxes out one level past 10. It's kinda weird that you only get to keep those levels if you finish the stage, but the game isn't all that hard for Mega Man veterans; I beat the first stage I tried without a single death, and died probably less than half a dozen times throughout the entire game. Soundtrack is good, and the visuals, while not mind-blowing, are at least interesting. The writing's a little off, but if you're playing Mega Man for the writing, you're doing it wrong. I've played plenty of Mega Man and quite a few knockoffs, and this is better than most.
