Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
*Mega Man X* is an action-platformer set in a futuristic world where a highly advanced robot named X and his ally Zero must stop a global rebellion led by the rogue commander Sigma. Playing as X, players must navigate challenging stages, defeat powerful "Maverick" bosses, and harness new weapons and abilities to save humanity and Reploid-kind alike.
Story
The Story
The year is 21XX.
Humans live in peace alongside mass-produced, highly-intelligent robots called "Reploids." However, no technology available has been able to completely eliminate the potential danger that comes with robots running on artificial intelligence. As a result, malfunctions have started occurring, leading Reploids to start attacking humans.
These Reploids, having exceeded the bounds of their AI protocols, are called "Mavericks." In order to round them up and protect humans from the Maverick threat, the Maverick Hunters team was formed.
Among the Maverick Hunters, one Reploid in particular stood out from the crowd as the most advanced Hunter of them all. His name is Sigma.
"Reploids of the world! Take up arms and unite! Now is the time for revolution!" Out of the blue, this was Sigma's call to arms, igniting a large-scale rebellion across the globe.
Now X, another Maverick Hunter from the same team as Sigma, along with his best friend Zero, set out to put down the rebellion and put a stop to Sigma. Who knows what fate holds for these two...
Character Profile: X
A Reploid in Hunter Unit 17 of the Maverick Hunter forces. Who made him? What is his purpose? These questions are shrouded in mystery.
Despite going up against Mavericks, his gentle side tends to make him hesitate at times while destroying his opponents. This has held him back at a "B" Hunter Rank, as other Hunters view his kindness as weakness. Zero and Sigma are the only ones who sense X's true potential.
