All 4 Zero entries are plagued 3 by major, gameplay ruining additions: New powers, but only if you do good - In an incredibly baffling turn of events, Zero only learns new powers 'um actu-' I DON'T CARE THAT THEY ARE CALLED SKILLS. Overall, I'm very disappointed and wish I had just replayed the X collections instead. Unfortunately by the time I finished Mega Man Zero 1 - 4, I was just kind of burned out and didn't feel like finishing the Metroidvania ones. That is the only reason I give this collection a 2/10 instead of a 0/10. Not great, kind of average Metroidvanias to be honest. Finally, we have 2 Metroidvania type Mega Man games also included in this collection. Capcom should've let the player replay missions to improve their grades but they don't, so they can f*** right off with this bulls***. That's why it pisses me off because I have no desire to replay these games until I am good enough to do that. You might be tempted to ask - Why not just ignore the grading system and enjoy the game? Well here's the thing - there are some super secret costumes/ ELFs that you can only obtain by getting S or A ranks on the missions. WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING!? I absolutely hate everything about this gameplay. You are only graded the first time you play them, then the only reason to replay is to grind for crystals to feed your ELFs, which further reduce your mission rankings when you use them. You cannot replay the missions for better ranks. On top of that, using the ELFs affects your ranking and ruins your score, so if you want to get all S rankings on every mission, you can't use any ELFs and you have to play each mission perfectly without dying or taking any damage at all from the bosses. Totally lame! On top of that, these are the kind of Capcom games, like the DMC games, where you are graded after every single mission based on your time, enemies killed, damage taken, lives used, etc. It gets very annoying, especially in the first game because you only get about 100 crystals per mission and most ELFs take at least 1000 crystals to feed before you can use them. The ELFs do various things such as replenish your health or increase your maximum life bar, However, you cannot just use them after finding them, you have to grind crystals from enemies until you have enough to "Feed" them. ![]() Instead, you find the cyber spirits called ELFs. Remember in the Megaman X games when you explore the levels carefully, find the upgrades, then get to equip and use them automatically? Well guess what, that doesn't happen in these games. Right of the bat, I totally hate the ELF system, the grading system, and the grinding involved. I'll talk about the Zero games first - Mega Man Zero 1 - 4. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before I ended up with a serious case of buyer's remorse. I'm really disappointed to be writing this review right now and I can't believe how much I disliked these games :( I've loved the Mega Man I'm really disappointed to be writing this review right now and I can't believe how much I disliked these games :( I've loved the Mega Man and Mega Man X games, always have, so when I saw this collection, I thought "Wow, how come I never heard of these games before!?" So I didn't hesitate to pick up this collection for only $30 and try it out. Highly recommend for fans of Megaman and action platformers in general. Capcom has done a lot right here and the cons are essentially nitpicks. I personally like the smooth one, but I would’ve liked to have more options, such as a different type of smoothing technique or a CRT filter. Ergo, changing “die” to “retire” - Despite having a touchscreen, it’s not possible to touch the “bottom” screen for actions such as A-Trans in ZX Advent. + Massive gallery of Zero and ZX art + Z-Chaser mode for some extra replayability + English and Japanese versions Cons: - Typos and minor censorships are still present. Pros: + Save assist and Casual Scenario for a more relaxed playthrough + Remastered audio and full-resolution anime cutscenes + Bonus content like the e-reader cards and the Z3 and Z4 boss fights in ZX are accessible. Pros: + Save assist and Casual Scenario for a more relaxed playthrough An excellent collection of some of the best games in Mega Man history.
