About This Game
Mega Man ZX pioneered the 'Metroidvania' approach in the Mega Man series with non-linear progression and ability-gated exploration across interconnected areas.
The game features two playable protagonists - Vent and Aile - whose stories differ slightly based on character selection.
Biometal transformations include Model X (basic form), Model ZX (balanced form), and four elemental models (HX, FX, LX, PX) acquired from defeated bosses.
The Nintendo DS touchscreen was used for map navigation and special attacks, though traditional controls remained primary.
