    A passing grade. It's a videogame, nothing about it is particularly great. Gameplay is okay, but worse than Mega Man. Music is okay, but worse than Mega Man. You get the picture.

Enemies are decently varied and entertaining to go up against, spawning directly on top of MN9 was not. Ducking is automatic in hazardous areas, except one?

    This is a spiritual successor to Mega Man, not a rip-off because it was made by the creator of Mega Man Keiji Inafune.

    This game is really fun. Picked it up physical for £2.99. It c as me with an art book, a double sided poster and a code to download a digital game manual. It so sad that people hate on this game, its lots of fun. Coming from a classic mega man fan. Guys give it a shot. You will be surprised.

    What a travesty. Alright, it had redeeming qualities, but it was really an awful game with bad level design and downgraded graphics, yeah it will certainly not be remembered as a good game by many, thankfully.

    The worst about this game, is that it looked so great, but unfortunately it came out as unfinished with poor controls and mediocre level design.

    This game isn't so bad. The gameplay is solid and the music very cool .The problems essenciallyare 3: bad graphic (ps2), level design usually boring (with some exception) and a story that isn't so cool.

    Normally challenge is welcome but this game's reward returns are so minimal it's not worth it.

    I remember Megaman X fondly, you had plenty of abilities even from the beginning, wall slides, wall jumps (from any flat surface), power shots, none of that is in this game but at least you get a dash and ledge grabs. You get variations of that and your shots but they're virtually useless and    Normally challenge is welcome but this game's reward returns are so minimal it's not worth it.

    Level design seems inconsistent, most sidescrollers hazards have a prompt some of MN9's seem
    instantaneous or punish you before you have a chance to learn (or worse, punish you while or after they reward you). Megaman games usually have enemies who drop health or weapon energy, this seems to be replaced with a system that stores energy from enemies you "dash" through, to access this you have to pause/stop the action. it ruins the flow of action. weapons are uninspired. I-frames are something meant to act as a grievance and learning tool for players, there's none of that if not minimal. Other parts of levels rely on poorly explained mechanics and force you to play a specific way because if you don't, you'll lose health or your life.

    It's a poor imitation of Megaman, in fact, just get a Megaman or Megaman X collection to feed your nostalgia, they usually play much much better.    … Expand

    I got this game free from PSplus, yet I felt very disappointed by it. I love Megaman series. I played almost every series starting from 1 to 7 and X1-X8 (exclude X2). This game failed in many aspects. It should not be made at all. Level design is very bad. Visual is bad. Boss fight is boring. Many things require you to remember rather than use your skill.

If you want some Megaman, go buy Megaman collections. The Dev said "at least it is better than nothing", hell no I would say for this game "Nothing is Better". This game is LIFELESS.    … Expand

    Story-Robots take over..... not original but still not bad so its ok
    gameplay-The gameplay is nothing like the mega man X games as those were fun and this is frustrating with its unfair obstacle and hazard placement and its bad physics, I hate shooting an enemy and dashing through it and then the enemy next to it hits me, its not a fair challenge its just annoying and the bosses are not like mega man games unless you count the weakness of the bosses but if you obtain one bosses ability the rest are cake which was the not like that in mega man games.

With $4 million dollars in funds given from the fans, all the backers of this game are crying like an anime fan on prom night.

    Story:What there's a story in here? Yep and it terrible. It is told though the laziest 3D animated cut-scenes where the character don't move at all, NOT EVEN THEIR LIPS MOVE WHEN THEY TALK! It's even more insulting that after the final boss fight you get three anime-quest picture with no voice acting to tell the end of the story. Then they have the nerve to have an end credit cut-scene with the same lazy animation, trying to setup a squeal that this series will probably never get. The voice acting itself is ok, if the story was good or even necessary in this action platformer.

    Gameplay. There nothing that bad about the gameplay aspect.........for the most part. You have your shoot, jumping and dashing that you would expect from a game like this. The problem comes from the level design. Every environment is forgettable and have tons of cheap one hit deaths. There is a difference between a game being hard and a game being cheaply hard and in some of area of this game, it is cheaply hard. Stupid narrow spaces with no room to do anything, with a simply jump that's bit higher that you wanted and boom, your dead, There are some fun and fast pace moment and hell, even one level that had a real cool idea, but this fun is few and far between. Also to note there is one level in the game that's complete unnecessary. You play as a girl named Call for one level and her controls feel off and out of place. That level was a chore to get through.

    Presentation: GARBAGE! This game looks like a PS2 game and has multiple issue despite is low end graphics. On PC the game would go as fast as 60 FPS and go as slow as 20 FPS. That's not because of my PC because even the highest end PC are having the same problem, its even worse on PS4 and Xbone. As I said for the story, the cut scenes are the laziest thing I have ever seen. I don't know about consoles but while playing this game it also crashed 10 SEPARATE times while I was trying to get through the campaign. For a game that looks like this, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

    Soundtrack The music is okay but it is mostly forgettable. I hate how every boss, except for the final one, has the same boss music. That's just embarrassing. There only one song I really like and remember and that was the final boss music.(I'll link it below in case you want to listen)

    Conclusion: This could have been a fun game. All the aspect of gameplay to make a good game are here but this is muddied with laziest. Terrible story, unimaginative and forgettable levels, framerate issues and crashes, all while the creator want to all ready focus on a squeal. There's a bit of fun to be had but if you really want to play it but wait until its on sale for $5 and you will need to be a BIG fan of Megaman. For everyone else this is a title I recommend skipping.    … Expand

    Mighty No. 9 is an okay but unremarkable Megaman clone. You play as the titular Mighty No. 9, AKA Beck, who is very blatantly Megaman.

    As is usual in a Megaman game, the robots of the world have gone crazy and you, as Mega-er, I mean, Mighty No. 9, must confront them. You have a handful of allies: Dr. White (really?), Dr. Sanda, and Call, Beck’s female counterpart (who is definitely not    Mighty No. 9 is an okay but unremarkable Megaman clone. You play as the titular Mighty No. 9, AKA Beck, who is very blatantly Megaman.

    As is usual in a Megaman game, the robots of the world have gone crazy and you, as Mega-er, I mean, Mighty No. 9, must confront them. You have a handful of allies: Dr. White (really?), Dr. Sanda, and Call, Beck’s female counterpart (who is definitely not Roll. And yes, Beck and Call. Like Rock and Roll). You must beat the other Mighty Numbers, #1-8. #7, Brandish, is a red robot with a sword who is definitely, definitely not Zero, and several of the other characters are reminiscent of Mega Man characters as well, at least in terms of the powers they give you.

    Because, yes, when you beat each of the robot bosses, you absorb their powers, and gain a new weapon you can use. And, yes, exactly like in Megaman, each of the bosses is vulnerable to the attacks from one of the other bosses, in a cycle of 8.

    That being said, this is an original game, and the bosses are not copy and paste jobs, and feel somewhat distinct from those in a Megaman game. Indeed, the game itself does have one real distinguishing factors – Mighty No. 9’s ability to dash through injured enemies to absorb them. While it is possible to kill an enemy simply by shooting them (apart from the bosses), they take a huge number of hits to kill; however, it takes fewer hits to put them into a semi-stunned state, which you can dash through and absorb. This absorption will, in the case of some enemies, give you one of three temporary power-ups (faster speed, better defense, or stronger attacks that go through enemies and walls), and will always slowly fill up a healing tank which, when full, can be used to completely restore Mighty No. 9’s life. If you die, however, your tanks all get emptied, and they don’t carry over between levels – thus, it behooves you to beat a level without dying and without having to spend your healing to have it for the boss.

    This dash can be done on the ground or midair, and gives Mighty No. 9 an even greater amount of mobility than characters like Megaman X; however, it also means that you have to put yourself at risk to absorb enemies. At the end of every stage, you are graded based on, among other things, how fast you absorbed the enemies, and absorbing enemies very quickly or during a continuous air-dash earns you bonus points and extra healing. These points are, ultimately, pointless, but hey, you want a high score, right?

    The biggest catch about the dash comes against the bosses. The bosses, unlike normal enemies, will regenerate out of the hitstun state; the only way to deal them permanent damage is to dash through them quickly. Thus, you want to deal them damage AND be able to dash through them safely all at once, when they are damaged enough to go into a hitstun state. Bosses generally take 3-6 of these states to be killed, and of course, a couple late-game bosses have multiple forms.

    The game itself is fairly standard as far as Megaman games go, but honestly feels slightly uninspired. None of the levels are particularly exciting environments, and none of them feel like they have particularly interesting layouts or mechanics. Most of the difficulty of the game’s levels comes from deadly spikes or instant death pits, which some levels have in abundance and other levels have little, if any of. The levels are not necessarily easy (some are, others aren’t), but they always feel a bit meh, and the only potentially cool one (one where you are jumping on top of cars in traffic) feels kind of cheap as you “go into a tunnel” via an area transition rather than actually zooming into one, and then out the other side. There was one level which was a kind of neat idea – an enemy sniper robot is attacking you from a distance, and you keep chasing them around the level – but the level itself is quite dull.

    The bosses are somewhat more interesting. They are decent enough on average, and have reasonable patterns on the whole. A few of them are a bit boring, and one of them is repeated twice (though the second time, as a midboss), along with a few other midbosses that are kind of mediocre, but the end-level bosses are mostly decent enough, though not especially memorable. One kind of neat thing is that the bosses stick around after you beat them and purge them of the infection, and give you minor assistance in the stage of the boss who is vulnerable to their attack – something that the game helpfully marks for the player.

    The voice acting is rather mediocre, though, and never really engaged me; it felt very phoned-in, and the script wasn’t anything to write home about, either. It was a pretty generic Megaman-type plotline, and in the end, I doubt I’ll remember anything about it.

    All in all, this is a game that is okay, but nothing more. If you want a mediocre Megaman game, then this is that. If not... then keep on looking.    … Expand

    Let’s see gameplay wise, which is the most important part it feels a lot like a megaman, but with a couple of changes that make it feel faster paced. In terms of playing, it is decent fun. They’ve made a good job a making the different stages feel different, the problem is that they’re kind of simple, you won’t see anything that stands out. Difficulty is kind on normal-ish, maybe hard for some of the younger or less experienced players. In terms on length, the game is short but its replay value is quite high, the same as in the old megaman games.

    In terms of sound the game is quite good, music is good and it fits the style of the game very well, voice acting is all right for this kind of game etc. Graphically speaking, the game is well below average in my opinion. Although it’s not horrendous at all, they are a lot of things that feel a lot like a ps2 game, which considering the year is shameful. Not that you need photo realistic graphics in a game like this, but taking a look at things like for example “dust: an elysian tale” or other games like that you can actually create gorgeous, distinct graphics without them needing to be awesome.

    So summarising, it’s not all bad, but I believe this game has a lot of “meh…” things that will let you feeling that it could have been awesome, but it just turned out very average or even below average in a lot of things. If you’re a megaman fan or enjoyed the megaman games, I still think you’ll have decent fun with this (if you keep an open mind), but it won’t feel like megaman is back. You might want to look at spending your money with a megaman collection rather than this, but if you’re looking for something new within the “megaman” genre I think you’ll have decent fun with this. The overall feeling is that, this game could have been a lot more, and they made something cheap and fast to try and make some money.    … Expand

    It's a decent game that is pretty much as expected- a spiritual successor for Mega Man games. It's nice to look at, has a great soundtrack, is fast paced and gives a new spin to an old classic.

    While it doesn't compare to other new classics like Shovel Knight or Rogue Legacy, it's still fun albeit short- and now that you can find it for 10 or so dollars it's absolutely worth picking up.

    I find it funny though how many bad reviews have nothing to do with the game- but are complaining more about the way it was funded.

    To anyone thinking about it now- just disregard immediately any review complaining about crowd sourcing. I play games to enjoy games- not to think about how much was spent to make it or what some developer might have said on social media. Kinda sad how the actual game is the last thing on people's minds nowadays when they make reviews.    … Expand

    I paid 14 dollars for this abomination. If i were to do it again I would gladly have taken a dump on a fresh 20 dollar bill and light it on fire. At least the site of burning my own money would have been more enjoyable then this game. I feel bad for the people that paid full retail for this travesty. The controls are bad, the graphics suck for the ps4 and they didn't even put in the effortI paid 14 dollars for this abomination.

I feel bad for the people that paid full retail for this travesty. The controls are bad, the graphics suck for the ps4 and they didn't even put in the effort to animate the beginning cut-scenes. Maybe im not giving the best review because I am extremely frustrated after wasting 3 hrs of my life playing this game and trying not to hulk smash every thing in my near vicinity. Do yourself a favor and avoid this game. This game gives you that bad gut feeling where you feel like the deaths are not your fault due to the bad controls and mechanism's within the game. For the love of god this game needs a turbo button to be played with.… Expand

    It's so pervasively dull. Where other prominent throwbacks have recaptured the beating heart of the games that inspired them, Mighty No. 9’s familiar pieces are thrown together without a driving vision. Hopefully the super fighting robot’s next successor is more worthy.

    Here’s an idea: let’s just try to forget this ever happened. [09/2016, p.60]

    This is very much Inafune by numbers, a Mega Man game in all but name, and not a particularly good one. [Issue#296, p.118]
