    It's something very emotional for me. Dating back in 2000, the NES was still rocking the day and my brother just got the first PC with some of the first PC games for us, but there was something very intriguing that for me in the game Mega Man 3, that made me play all of the entries in the series. Not only did I pass all of the mainline series, but the entire spin offs and everything Mega Man. It was sad for 8 long years to see capcom let him what seems like - death? No, never. He rose from the ashes with this blast - Mega Man 11! The game sure is the blue-bomber in all it's glory, in fact it goes well beyond that. It's a fantastic package, provides something for absolutely everybody with re-playability value through the roof. One of the most important things is to go blindly your first run at least. The treat you will get from finding the boss weakness chain is unmatched in any other games, but Mega Man. Returning it to the original form made it a true shining in the darkness amidst so called spiritual-successors like Mighty No.9 that flopped. I am not saying there aren't games that are as awesome as 20XX, but those are quite rare to find, if any other. Capcom proved that they can achieve something so good, they put a lot of care for all you blue-bomber fans as well as gathering new audience. Go buy Mega Man 11, you owe it to yourself. The game's near perfection and never ever does it drop frame-rate!

    All of you who grew up with the blue-bomber, you'll surely love it and if you find the voices irritating you can turn them off, but trust me that the voices are quite good and passionate for a Mega Man game(ahem Mega Man 8 I'm looking at you and your Dr. Wah-wee).

    The moment you fire up the game and get to the menu it will feel just like the first time you've booted your NES cartridge! If you're like me and grew up with someone you lost on your side watching you play it, this will surely be a great moment and may even make you cry, so go show your support to this beauty that Capcom made and let's not let Mega Man die again!!    … Expand

    I've always been a fan of the Mega Man games. As much as I liked the last two installments, especially 10, I was disappointed with the 8-bit retro look. I wanted to see how the latest graphics portrayed Mega Man, and I was finally rewarded. Got to say that Mega Man 11 is one of my favorites in the series.

    Story- Like most Mega Man games, the plot is pretty basic and doesn't matter that    I've always been a fan of the Mega Man games.

Got to say that Mega Man 11 is one of my favorites in the series.

    Story- Like most Mega Man games, the plot is pretty basic and doesn't matter that much. However, this is actually one of the more fleshed out ones. For the first time, we see into the past and origins of the rift between Mega Man's creator Dr. Light and the villainous Dr. Wily. It's a refreshingly unexpected bit of backstory.

    Gameplay- So glad they brought back the power-up shot and slide abilities this time around. The newest thing about this game is the gear system, and it really adds something. The power gear allows you to increase your strength, including boss weapons, while the speed gear lets you slow everything around you. However, the abilities work for a limited time. Since a lot of this games works around having to slow things down, you probably won't be using the power gear that much except for boss battles. That having been said, the speed-based challenges are a real nice change of pace.

    The robot master powers like in most MM games are a mixed back, some like the acid weapon, which is hard to work, aren't very useful, while others, like the wide range bounce and tundra abilities, will become your constant companions. I wished they'd done more with Rush the robot dog. We just get his two most common abilities, spring and jet, and nothing new. On the plus side, you get to use specific buttons to summon him rather than having to select him from the robot master powers.

    They really updated the shop to fit the modern times. Used to be you could only get a few special items. Now you can really level Mega man up as the game progresses.

    Like most Mega Man games, this is a short one. The levels are longer than past installments, I'll give MM11 that. Still, I missed the past games' attempts to evolve the challenges. There aren't any hidden items or paths you can search for. There aren't any attempts to add more levels than the robot master stages and Skull Castle, like MM3-MM6 and Mega Man & Bass did. I know it's a classic Mega Man feel, but I miss the ambition.

    This can be one of the easiest or hardest Mega Man games in the series depending on the difficulty level. Some challenges are really, really hard. Since I was playing on the easiest level, I had unlimited lives and couldn't be killed by spikes or pits. I know this seems like no challenge at all, but I was still frustrated by parts. I fell into a pit a dozen times in the Block Man stage and the jumping mechanics in the Bounce Man stage are really frustrating.

    Appearance- What I liked about Mega Man 7 and 8 is that they really upped the style. I was happy to see the natural progression in this game. These may be the best looking stages. The backgrounds have this cartoonish fun you don't see that often anymore and are just so detailed and fun. Be sure to check out the Blast Man stage, which is a blown up amusement park, and the Torch Man stage, which is a campground.

    Instead of Mega Man just switching colors when he changes weapons, he'll switch between different looking helmets, and he looks a whole lot better for it.

    Music/voice acting- Though I wouldn't say it's memorable, the music was good and keeps up the feel of past games. Voice acting is probably the most prolific here and definitely better than Mega Man 8, but that wasn't very hard to do considering how bad the VA was back then.

    Conclusion- Okay, this doesn't do that much differently than the other games, but the gear system does make this a lot of fun to play.    … Expand

    It's very faithful to the older games. It looks cool, the gameplay is smooth and honestly the only bad points for me are 1) checkpoints: if you end up dying, it's likely that you'll go all the way back some minutes into the stage, and it can be actually frustrating in some stages and 2) the final boss, which is super easy even on hardest difficulty.

    A good game, but it is was too short. There's like what, 10 levels. The levels capture the spirit of the classic Mega Man games (and I've played all of them) well. The music is a mixed bag. Some songs sound awesome, others sound forgettable. Overall, a definite 8/10 game.

    An excellent modernization of the Mega Man series. I'm going to cut against the grain and say that the Double Gear system is one of the chief factors in the game being as strong of an update as it is - the gameplay's been tweaked so that using the Gear intelligently is necessary to deal gracefully with a large part of the game while still feeling unmistakably like the same classicAn excellent modernization of the Mega Man series. I'm going to cut against the grain and say that the Double Gear system is one of the chief factors in the game being as strong of an update as it is - the gameplay's been tweaked so that using the Gear intelligently is necessary to deal gracefully with a large part of the game while still feeling unmistakably like the same classic jump-and-shoot fans have been enjoying for decades.
    I also find myself enjoying the concessions to modern storytelling sensibilities in this installment, as small as most of them are. The story's still predominantly an excuse for a brace of bosses and platforming challenges -and wouldn't feel out of place in a Saturday morning cartoon show besides- but this one's as close to having any real substance as one has ever gotten and gives us some surprising meat on a few of the characters.
    Some surprising thought has also gone into what the Robot Masters are this time around, and what their places would actually be within the setting. This leads to some really fun and surprisingly inventive stage concepts for the series, including a campground in the middle of a raging wildfire (complete with midboss fight against the camp's mascot) and a Universal Studios-esque theme park laced with pyrotechnic effects. Optional text blurbs about enemies and masters add even more setting details without intruding on the actual gameplay.
    My one complaint about the game would be that it hasn't been quite as successful modernizing its older style of gameplay as recent throwback games like Shovel Knight - It insists on tying itself to an arbitrary lives system, which can sometimes destroy pacing. Being forced to rerun entire levels due to a run of bad luck near the end made sense as a form of enforced pacing when the size of games was relatively limited, but games have long outgrown the mechanic and it's distracting here - an ugly cumbersome appendix on an otherwise perfectly calibrated update to the series. Here's hoping Capcom continues to build on its advantage and we see a Mega Man 12 that puts this to shame.    … Expand

    Megaman 11 es un nuevo titulo que busca revivir la saga que mucha gente creyó estar en el olvido por Capcom, pero que sin ir mas lejos dejo la vara en alto para posteriores títulos que esperamos sean de igual o mejor calibre que esta maravillosa obra.

Hablando en rasgos generales sobre el juego en cuanto a diseño de niveles y enemigos este tiene detalles innovadores y algunos un tanto similares a títulos anteriores pero dando un toque de aire fresco haciéndolo destacar por si solo, los llamados "robots masters" tienen su propio carisma, estética original, movimientos, ataques, y ataques especiales que los hacen ser muy recordados, si bien son algo similares a jefes de títulos anteriores haciéndonos recordar a aventuras de antaño esto no es un problema ni mucho menos, es un total acierto, por el hecho de tomar conceptos y características y convertirlos en algo novedoso y disfrutable. Hablando sobre la apariencia de personajes, al derrotar a cada jefe, este a diferencia de otras entregas permite a megaman lucir un traje con características del jefe que venció, siendo que anteriormente solo se limitaba a un cambio de color, algo que ya se volvió común y de costumbre de ver, sin dudas es un detalle bien implementado para hacer sentir un poco mas novedoso al titulo que se agradece. Hablando de la jugabilidad este implementa un nuevo sistema llamado "doble gear" cambiando la velocidad del entorno y de megaman, o haciendo mas potente nuestro mega buster, siendo esta de uso limitado, siendo de gran apoyo a los jugadores que comienzan a conocer la franquicia y para los fans mas acerrimos a esta, ademas, cabe destacar que es una mecánica nunca antes vista en la saga que encaja a la perfección, no siendo cien por ciento necesaria para la aventura, solo una opcion amigable que nos facilitara el camino y/o nos hará disfrutar mas de el. En cuento sountracks es cierto que este capitulo peca de cierta manera al tener música algo genérica, que realmente no es muy recordable como la de anteriores aventuras,sin embargo, existen excepciones, principalmente el soundtrack de 2 jefes en especial y en el escenario del castillo de willy, lamentablemente los demas no logran igualarse a estos, o a los temas de anteriores entregas, pero, estos elementos siguen siendo de una calidad mas que aceptable y disfrutable en el momento de la acción. En cuanto a narrativa existió mucha expectativa sobre si la obra se atrevería a tomar la desicion de unir la saga clásica con la saga "X" porque bien sabemos que hay una gran incógnita sobre el paradero de nuestros heroes como Megaman, Roll, Auto, Beat, Dr. Light, Rush, protoman, etc puesto que su secuela directa no nos da indicios explícitos de que sucedió con ellos. Este nuevo capitulo, toma una trama un tanto mas simple, enfocándose en una problemática bastante sencilla, incluso mas aun que en cualquier entrega anterior, ni siquiera dejando algo que comentar sobre ella, aunque, si bien es simple, para un juego como megaman este por lejos no es el apartado principal, ya que puede ignorarse y disfrutarse de igual modo, aun que dejando con in sabor agridulce al jugador, hablando de la estética de la pantalla de inicio, opciones, desafíos, etc, esta bastante bien, es simple y de fácil acceso para cualquier jugador, sin lograr mayor confusión a la hora de querer comenzar la aventura. Sobre el modo desafíos extras, este tiene gran variedad de modos que logran ser del agrado del jugador, al poner prueba sus habilidades de presicion, rapidez, destreza, etc. que logran entretener por horas, aunque bien recomiendo probarlo después de completar la aventura principal. En general, este es un juego de Megaman con todas sus letras, tiene novedades atractivas y mas que destacables, una jugabilidad cómoda y fluida, niveles bien estructurados, jefes memorables en cada aspecto, música aceptable y una diversión que solo se puede sentir en las aventuras del "bombardero azul". Solo queda dar las gracias a Capcom por darnos esta gran nueva aventura, y por abrirle camino a mas títulos de otras sagas de este mismo, un titulo que sin duda te hará sentir volver a la época en donde todo parecía perfecto y nuestra única preocupación era una y otra vez salvar al mundo de malvado doctor Wily, sin lugar a dudas es gusto total, un maravilloso juego.… Expand

    Con una dificultad bien lograda que, incluso en "normal" es un dolor de cabeza, y algunos objetos que podemos adquirir en su tienda (con dinero que conseguimos jugando) el juego presenta un balance perfecto que atraerá tanto a nuevos usuarios como a los veteranos más exigentes.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Capcom apostó por dejar de lado el estilo retro y nos dio un juego con un estilo 2D potenciado por gráficos de actualidad. Puede no ser visualmente realista pero no lo necesita: la paleta de colores y el estilo caricaturesco hacen una perfecta combinación.
    Los escenarios inspirados en su respectivo Boss son muy variados y lo suficientemente visualmente atractivos para disfrutar de verlos.

    SONIDO:
    Nada fuera de lo normal. Cada nivel tiene su pieza tema y podemos elegir entre su versión electro o instrumental. Como opinión personal creo que la versión instrumental hace una mejor ambientación.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    Lo único diferente a otros títulos de la franquicia son las dos nuevas funcionalidades del Mega Buster. Aunque un jugador veterano puede fácilmente olvidar que están ahí (por costumbre), hay algunas partes del gameplay donde es necesario usarlo para avanzar.    … Expand

    Respecto a la historia, no tiene relevancia alguna (Como siempre ha sido en todos los Mega Man Clásicos), lo mismo de siempre: 8 robots corrompidos que Mega Man deberá ir a frenar.

    En la jugabilidad, como novedad está el Double Gear, dos engranajes que proporcionan habilidades muy útiles: como el de ralentizar el tiempo y el otro de potenciar el buster junto con los armas de los jefes que hayamos derrotado. Estas habilidades vienen muy bien ya que Mega Man siempre se ha visto limitado a comparación de su hermano menor, X.

    La banda sonora cumple, no es la mejor de la saga pero es muy buena, a mi me gustó mucho.

    Lo que mas destaco de este Mega Man de los demás es lo super útil que son las armas de los jefes , no recuerdo un Mega Man donde haya tenido que usarlas siempre, hay armas que incluso suplen habilidades que el bombardero azul no tiene como por ejemplo el arma de Impact Man que seria como un Dash normal y con Double Gear un Dash aereo.

    The stages themselves are mostly fantastic, but Bounce Man's is unbearably annoying to get used to and the controls making it even worse. The story is okay, but the voice acting is abysmal, like Mighty No. 9 bad at times, to the point where you wonder why they had it in the first place, and it just doesn't work as well as it should.

    If anything, a Mega Man Classic game in this style is fine, but it's also a reminder that we need to move on from that style a bit, because it's very nature in this day and age means it's going to be lacking in some regards. Releasing a Mega Man Classic style as an occasional side project is fine, but I'd rather have a game in the X, Mega Man Zero, or Legends style nay day of the week.

    Still, for it's shortcomings and frustrations, this game can be a ton of fun, and that's the main point of any game, to be enjoyable. I just, think I would have enjoyed it more if it were called Mega Man X9 or god forbid, Mega Man Legends 3.    … Expand

    I love Mega Man.... that must be why I hate him so much.
    For some strange reason Mega Man 11 yet again ditches the fixed difficulty we experienced in 9, instead opting for a Difficulty Selection menu (laughs). It's not even a difficulty selection, because all the game modes past Easy are don't even alter the difficulty one bit; it just makes energy pellets drop less and less.

It's not even a difficulty selection, because all the game modes past Easy are don't even alter the difficulty one bit; it just makes energy pellets drop less and less. One difficulty just makes you start the stage over. I don't even think Mega Man 10's Hard mode was that brutal. You would think that Capcom would have more respect for it's flagship mascot, but this was apparently a budget title and it shows pretty regularly. Oh right, the gear system, It's there I guess. I mean it comes in handy only about 9 or 10 times in the game, but I found myself trying not to use it most of the time. Also, the the final battle with Dr. Wily isn't even that memorable. I played it like back in 2018, but I can't even remember what it was. The whole game just seems forgettable and it makes me sad. If this is where the future of Mega Man games are headed, I think I'd rather go back to the games before it.    … Expand

    Clunky controls, knockback that makes me cringe... everytime I get hit down a pit... And there's ALOT of that going on, in *THIS* Megaman game...

    Play the Megaman Legacy collections... They're much better, and funner... than THIS annoying PAIN: in the Blue Bomber.

    A game designed for a select few, played by someone who isnt in that group.
    Characters: Beautiful artistic design, as usual. But for what purpose?
    Gameplay: Perfectly fine mechanics, but even those who enjoy MM games realize that you cant play these when you arent at 100%. Are you tired? Had a beer? Recovering from covid? Then you arent 100% and shouldnt play this. MM games are    A game designed for a select few, played by someone who isnt in that group.

    MM games have been finely honed over the years.. to appeal to a select few. I dont see that audience growing, as opposed to other hardcore games like Dark Souls, Etrian Odyssey, etc. You simply cannot 'casually' play an MM game. There is no caution, no careful approach.. it forces you to play it on its level. And thats fine.. for a few. But lets face it. Mega Man sucks.    … Expand

    Boss characters: excellent design and diversity of weapons/attacks, both playing against them and obtaining their weapons. Quite possibly the most useful array of weapons since Mega Man 2.

    Stages: terribly painful and brutal at times. Expect pixel-perfect alignment for necessary jumps and nigh-perfect timing for jumps, shots, etc. in ALL levels to avoid taking a HUGE amount of damage.

    Stages: terribly painful and brutal at times. Expect pixel-perfect alignment for necessary jumps and nigh-perfect timing for jumps, shots, etc. in ALL levels to avoid taking a HUGE amount of damage. Overall level design, in terms of graphics & colors, is quite excellent and creative.

    Difficulty Settings: even veteran players who have finished other Mega Man games will have a brutally difficult time on Normal. Newcomer makes the game playable but cheesily easy to defeat the bosses (but necessary in order to deal with the overwhelming number of times the player would normally die). Casual doesn't seem any less difficult that Normal, unfortunately, and gods help anyone who willingly chooses Hard mode.

    Unless you really enjoy beating your head against a wall when playing through games on Normal mode, take a hard pass on this game. It will induce rage quits due to the shoddy mechanics necessary to pass through any given level on all modes.    … Expand

    Just another Megaman... A very plain one.
    When i think about Megaman 8, i can still hear the music in my mind, or recall the clown level or the ice skate level, or remember the flying robot on the fortress. But this one is just... forgettable.
    About the changes and new mechanics, i don't like the Gears system or how bolts are not collectible anymore but just coins. The only good thing    Just another Megaman... A very plain one.

    The only good thing about the game is that even on normal, this game is hard enough, that give you a good reason to upgrade and buy stuff. So that's a good change compared to Megaman 8.
    In pretty much the whole playthrough all i could think was: Megaman is stuck, the structure feel dated, i don't want to play the same game again. Megaman needs an evolution, maybe a reboot. Let's make a good story for a change or more/longer bosses, or different types of levels, even a new fckng final Boss that is not yet again Dr.Willy-on-a-skull! Compared to other games of this genre, Megaman 11 feels old and barebone, Megaman can not even shoot upwards after all this decades...    … Expand

    No crucial changes, no revolution – that’s new Mega Man’s primary problem. It’s a really good platformer, but it lacks a spark, so I won’t try to make everyone I meet play it, like I did with Mega Man X. If you’re not passionate about the little blue robot, you can sit this one out. [12/2018, p.88]

    A charming and challenging retro robo romp that'll delight long-time fans and newcomers alike. [Issue#336, p.76]

    This deftly made return to Mega Man revives the core series beyond being a novel retro throwback, giving it a gorgeous coat of fresh paint at the same time. [Issue#155, p.94]
