    What is there to say about this game that hasn't been said already? This was one of the biggest cases of false advertising and lies from a Kickstarter campaign that I've seen in awhile.

This was one of the biggest cases of false advertising and lies from a Kickstarter campaign that I've seen in awhile. The game suffered a massive texture and graphics downgrade from what was originally shown to us back around 2014 with character models and backgrounds looking uninspired and rushed out the door, something you would consider decent or passable back in 2008 on the 360. The voice acting is awful, the voice actors must have read the line once and called it a day because I really don't see any other way this could be considered acceptable. The gameplay is boring with an exciting "hold X to kill everything" sort of gameplay, and is finished being mutilated and beaten with a God-awful feature where you have to dash forward into enemies to "absorb" them and finish them off. Being related to Mega-Man, you would expect some excellent boss fights like the classic games, but the only thing you will find in the boss fights here is rinse and repeat "hold the X button while facing the enemy to shoot at them, dash at them when their health bar turns purple, then do it again until you win." The saddest thing about this game is how it had $4M dollars to work with and it still turned into a piece of mediocre garbage. There have been tons of Indie games with half or even less of a budget that have come on to become commercial successes, this game has no excuse to be in the state that it is, and anyone giving this game 8,9,10s are most likely people who gave money to this massive lie and can't admit they have buyers remorse for a terrible game. Do not waste $30 on this game when there are numerous other titles out at the moment that are ACTUAL 8,9,10s that are far more deserving of a $30-$60 price range, if you really want to experience this travesty for yourself, rent the game or wait for it to hit the garbage bin in GameStop or Target for $5.… Expand

    bad game, bad graphics, storyline, gameplay.. this game sucks =|

    I expected much more of this game, so it was raised on Kickstarter and what has been presented over the years , accumulating several delays in its release. Unfortunate end result , deplorable.

    Let this game be a lesson to all the those who blindly support any project on Kickstarter.

    This game looks and feels nothing like a old Megaman game. The art style is ugly and the game is very short. This game pretty much brings nothing interesting to the table.

    This game does a couple of things very wrong:

    - Too much story fluff, if I wanted to read a novel I would do just that - It makes you wait after you die because of what seems to be loading times. After a couple of deaths this means it's Home Button > Start > Quit for this game. I don't mind dying over and over because I suck at a level, but to be tortured like that with something that    This game does a couple of things very wrong:

    - It makes you wait after you die because of what seems to be loading times. After a couple of deaths this means it's Home Button > Start > Quit for this game. I don't mind dying over and over because I suck at a level, but to be tortured like that with something that should not be there - what is it loading anyway? It's a platformer! What terabytes of background and enemy data does it need?? The creators should've looked at player death in the NES and even SNES Megamans and set that downtime as the maximum acceptable time of blackscreen/loadscreen.
    - Artistically speaking, it's childish Unity style garbage. This point is a matter of taste I guess, but we have come to expect certain things from a Megaman game, even if it's its spiritual successor.

    Maybe this game will be heavily favored by Americans who like to watch baseball or American football, because those events follows a similar structure: start-STOP start-STOP start-STOP and wait... wait... wait...
    To each their own I guess.

    Unnecessary loading times are punished heavily by me, almost as much as the dreaded 30 fps monster to otherwise good games: -5 modifier. Besides the issues, there is a functional and fun game experience to be had: a solid 8 for its platforming elements and fun scenery. Thus the end score is a 3. Take heed, devs and QA. These are the things that truly matter.    … Expand

    Mighty No.9 is not good the only good thing is its gameplay and that's kind of good. The story was bad I even thought mega man was not really good and plus. I thought this was rushed because they did a very poor animation design as soon as I saw the title screen. Do not buy this game at all costs ok.

    A frustrating, joyless platformer that buries its few good ideas under apathetic nostalgia. [Sept 2016, p.77]

    Mighty No. 9 is largely not fun, and irritating in many ways: controls, voice acting, repetitive music. It is a hollow and empty experience. This is pretty much the kind of game you'll buy when it's on sale dirt cheap to see what all the fuss was about.

    Mighty No. 9 fails to fill the shiny blue, metallic, oversized boots of its predecessor. The game manages to capture the essentials of the previous titles without capturing the essence.
