Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-platformer set in a futuristic world where humans are evacuating to space due to ongoing conflict with Reploids. Players control X, Zero, and Axl, elite Maverick Hunters, as they investigate and combat a new Reploid threat on the moon.
Story
The DNA of Danger!
The year is 21xx. Endless turmoil between Humans and Reploids continues to wreak havoc on Earth. Humankind has placed its hopes of survival on an exodus to space.
A full-fledged evacuation to the satellite moon has begun, thanks to the completion of "Jakob," a giant rail elevator. A large contingent of "new generation" Reploids has already been sent to the moon to construct a base.
However, these "new generation" Reploids, capable of transforming into anyone else with the right DNA, pose a secret threat. They have copied some very dangerous DNA — the DNA of Sigma, thought to have been previously destroyed.
Reploid revolts are springing up all over. X, along with Zero and Axl, heads to space on a mission to investigate — and squelch, if possible — this extremely hazardous situation.
X
Former leader of the 17th Unit. X is the strong-willed Maverick Hunter who put an end to the Maverick rebellion.
At the same time, he has doubts about the stability of peace that can only be obtained through fighting.
Zero
Former leader of the Zero Unit, this highly-skilled Special Class A Hunter has worked together with X to solve many problems.
Unlike X, he tackles any mission thrown his way with a clear mind.
