    This game doesn't get enough respect. The soundtrack is easily the best 8 bit soundtrack in existence. If you don't believe me feel free to look up the OST on youtube and that alone is worth the price of admission. The game can be challenging at first, but if you put in the time to learn the mechanics and conquer the learning curve, you will be having so much fun you get fired from yourThis game doesn't get enough respect.

    This game is terrible. There is barely any progression in 20xx. When I bought a couple of upgrades, I can't even buy anymore because the does give me enough soul chips.(which is the currency for permanent upgrades.) All of my currents runs feel useless. The level design is terrible. I know that it is randomly generated. I always die near the end of the run because the game gets reallyThis game is terrible. There is barely any progression in 20xx. When I bought a couple of upgrades, I can't even buy anymore because the does give me enough soul chips.(which is the currency for permanent upgrades.) All of my currents runs feel useless. The level design is terrible. I know that it is randomly generated. I always die near the end of the run because the game gets really unfair. Enemys shooting in every direction, Lasers everywhere, platforms moving like crazy. One time when i left the glory zone(bonus room) the enemy's projectiles was already out and i died. Wtf? I didn't even get to move. This the first game in a long time where i regret buying in just a few days. It sucks beacause were poor and i can not buy games left and right. Save your money. There are better games that deserve your money. I wish i could get a refund.… Expand

    20XX is the perfect indie love letter to the Mega Man X franchise, while showing its indie roots with a committed "roguelite" design, where you'll start the whole game over again once you die, but earn the ability to unlock more items as you go.

    It finds a way to marry both in a manner that comes across frantic, fast-paced and challenging each time.
    Taking control of two starting characters with ranged or melee attacks, you'll dash your way through various levels of randomized tilesets and increasing difficulty to take down 8 monster robots, optionally take on their powers, and hopefully escape the facility.
    What 20XX lacks in any kind of deep lore or history, it makes up for with sheer high-octane action platforming.. once you get used to it at least. Expect quite a bit of a learning curve, and you'll be soaring through levels in no time.
    20XX is more than worth the price of admission if this seems like something that would interest you, and you miss the dash and wall-climb action of the X series.
    Just prepare to die a lot while learning the ropes, and if you're new and find things too rough, play on Revenant difficulty until you get used to how it all works.
    Granting 9 out of 10 ony because updates on Switch are slower to come out than on PC, and the game looks slightly blurrier than the original PC version, but runs just as smooth.    … Expand

    20XX é uma ótima pedida se você gostava dos antigos clássicos da Capcom. Não chega ser uma homenagem à altura deles, mas junta uma gameplay incrível a uma nostalgia imensa e pode ser uma experiência boa, apesar de levemente monótona.

    Very fluid and practically "endless" gameplay.

    20XX is a fantastic title and shows that the classic formula of Mega Man games still works. Stop reading and go play it now!

    Part of the reason why 20XX exists is Capcom’s negligence of the Mega Man series. Batterystaple Games has successfully taken the Mega Man X formula one step further by adding in roguelike mechanics, essentially giving the game infinite replay value.
