The year is 21XX. Earth is recovering from the Eurasia Incident and the Nightmare Crisis. Slowly but surely, it seems peace may finally return to Earth. But as long as there are Mavericks causing trouble, the Maverick Hunters are there. But in recent days, X has grown weary of so many years spent in endless combat. He wishes to end the war in a peaceful method, and has removed himself from the front lines, leaving Zero to handle the hard work. In the days since this crippling blow to the Hunters, a new Syndicate named Red Alert, led by the charismatic Red, has taken up the task of the Maverick Hunters, and his newest partner, Axl, takes up battle with his mentor. Finally, the day has come: Axl escapes from Red Alert, and Red gives chase. Axl is in desperate need of help: Red Alert must be stopped, and Axl must not be allowed to fall back into their hands. X and Zero must keep Axl safe, even if it means endangering their lives.
A combination of 3D platformer and 2D side-scroller, Mega Man X7 allows the player to control two characters during each level, swapping between the chosen two warriors to defeat enemies and solve any puzzles that require their unique abilities. New to the series is Axl, whose weapon of choice is a pistol, along with the ability to change into any other robot he has defeated in the past for a short space of time, using their strengths as an advantage during battle.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-platformer where players control Zero, an elite Reploid hunter, as he navigates a world on the brink of war. The game follows Zero's efforts to protect a mysterious new Reploid named Axl and confront the tyrannical Red Alert Syndicate, who have replaced the weakened Irregular Hunters. Players will engage in combat and uncover secrets in a struggle for peace.
Story
More War!
Crime rates are rising dramatically in the Reploid world, and the hard-won peace is shaky. Mega Man X, former leader of Hunter Unit 17, had sworn to fight for world peace but struggled with his opposition to violence and finally vanished.
Since X's disappearance, the weakened Irregular Hunters have been replaced by the Red Alert Syndicate. Irregular Hunter Zero is summoned to an emergency crime scene. He finds Axl, a teenage Reploid, barely avoiding an attack by a huge Mechaniloid.
Young Axl wants to escape the Red Alert Syndicate and join the Irregular Hunters. He knows a secret he's determined not to reveal.
Red, the Red Alert leader, shows up and orders Axl to return to his unit. He states, "Our Reploid seems to have contacted you Irregular Hunters by mistake. I'm taking him back."
This act of tyranny ignites a war. The Irregular Hunters and the Red Alert Syndicate troops head for battle stations.
Who's Who
MEGA MAN X
Former leader of Hunter Unit 17, Mega Man X once upheld the tradition of fighting enemies. Now, conflicted by his inner convictions about peace, X has vanished.
ZERO
A special A Class hunter and leader of Special Hunter Unit O, Zero is X's companion and friendly rival. He believes X will return and continues to fight until then.
AXL
An unidentifiable Reploid with no data on record, Axl can transform his looks and moves to mimic others. He is a pawn of the Red Alert Syndicate, trying to escape their regime, but they are close behind him.
SIGNAS
General Commander of Irregular Hunters, Signas has proven to be a fierce warrior in countless missions with X and Zero. His main concern is the recent crime wave and loss of Irregular Hunters in battle.
ALIA
A navigator Reploid, Alia has achieved such expert management ability that other hunters cannot survive without her assistance. She takes her instructions from Hunter Base.
RED
First Officer Red commands the Red Alert Syndicate troops on military operations to destroy the Irregular Hunters.
