The plot of the series focuses on the character of Zero, a Maverick Hunter who wakes up after years of hibernation.
Found by the girl named Ciel and her Reploid resistance, Zero decides to protect them from Copy X – a clone of his best friend and ally, Mega Man. Legacy Collection was met with positive reception, with reviewers noting that the game will satisfy the fans of the Mega Man series and those who look for challenging gameplay.
Classic gameplay features
Mega Man Legacy Collection presents the Mega Man Zero and ZX games s they were at the initial release. No changes have been introduced to the classic action-platforming gameplay, focused on dealing with hordes of enemies, avoiding environmental traps, etc.
The changes introduced in contrast to the previous series, Mega Man X, include Cyber-Fairy, which grants the player temporary or permanent boosts. Another new feature is the system of elemental chips, which Zero can attach to their weapons. These can be used to deal greater damage to enemies of a specific element in a rock-paper-scissor style.
The Legacy Collection adds a new mode called Z Chaser, in which the players can compete against each other to score higher on the leaderboards. Casual Scenario Mode and Save-Assist help the new players who want to experience the game at their own speed, without worrying about spiking difficulty level.
