Here’s another Mega Man-inspired indie game. Metagal is low-budget but enjoyable with a mostly-female cast, and some nice pixel art. I especially liked playing as the extra unlockable characters.

Roll-chan vs the female Robot Masters, low-res pixel style! (3 images)

This is kind of a thought experiment or very loose idea for an all-female Mega Man/Rockman game. It occurred to me that there were barely enough woman Robot Masters in the Classic era franchise to make a full boss set of 8, and naturally Roll would be the one to take them on with her Roll Buster (as seen in Rockman 1 mobile and the Marvel vs Capcom games), her trusty broom (from Powered Up and Tatsunoko vs Capcom), and her ability to turn her arm into household appliances to be used as weapons (in the Ruby-Spears cartoon). The latter would be her version of the Copy Ability, with each boss giving her a themed appliance/weapon like a souped-up whirlpool blender or rocket stove. Pretty cool, eh?

Shoutouts to Capricorn’s two Rockmen R fangames that star Roll, as well as Zynk Oxhyde’s romhacks that replace Rock with her in all the 8-bit games! More details on the characters chosen below.

Mighty Gunvolt, low-res pixel style!

I just played through both these potential Mega Man successors, Mighty No. 9 and Azure Striker Gunvolt, as well as their sequels and crossover titles. I had a lot of fun and wanted to commemorate the playable cast, some of whom have really cool designs. I love Ray a lot but her very complex look was difficult to pixellate!

Beck, Call, Ray, Gunvolt, Joule, Copen
