Plot [edit]

The Mega Man Ten universe is fix within the 22nd century, where humans and intelligent robots called "Reploids" live amongst one another. A tumultuous coexistence, some Reploids go "Bohemian" and showroom violent and subversive behavior. To extinguish such activity, a taskforce of "Maverick Hunters" is established past the human scientist Dr. Cain. The series importantly follows the adventures of the Hunters Mega Man X and Null, who take saved the globe from the Bohemian leader Sigma numerous times. Mega Man Xtreme 2 takes identify between the events of Mega Human being X3 and Mega Man X4, during which X and Zero, with the help of their new friend Iris, are sent to investigate erasure incidents on the mysterious Laguz Island.[2] Reploids effectually the Earth have been losing their "DNA Souls", leaving them every bit useless piles of junk.[iv]

It is rapidly revealed that the Dna Souls are being used by a "Soul Eraser" named Berkana to resurrect a growing army of undead Mavericks from the past. Berkana was in one case a Reploid researcher who created a Deoxyribonucleic acid Soul chip that reproduced deceased Mavericks. She steals the souls of Reploids to enhance her ain power, and that of her loyal partner Gareth. Once on the island, X and Naught see and destroy several powerful Mavericks from their past adventures. Rather than stop them early, Berkana allows the two heroes to progress so that they may strengthen their DNA Souls for her to take.[5] 10 and Zero face up both Gareth and Berkana inside the Reploid Research Laboratory and defeat them. Sigma then reveals himself as being behind the plot.[6] X and Cipher prevail over the Bohemian leader, the DNA Souls are returned to the hollow Reploids, and peace is restored once again. Zilch fears that Iris' blood brother, the Colonel of the Repliforce army, will blame him for getting Iris involved in the incident. X, even so, feels that the experience volition ultimately assistance her.[seven]

Gameplay [edit]

The thespian grapheme Zero attacks an enemy in the opening stage.

Mega Human Xtreme 2 is an activeness-platform game that plays very similar to the showtime Mega Man Xtreme. Like the Game Boy incarnations of the classic Mega Man series and its predecessor, Mega Human Xtreme ii primarily reuses bosses and elements from starting time three habitation console Mega Human X games along with the character of Iris, a fully playable Zero and a few background environments from X4 and a truncated version of the parts system from X6.[8] [9] The role player is tasked with completing a series of side-scrolling levels by avoiding obstacles and destroying cease-stage bosses. Stages are typically linear and present a number of traps and enemy robots to combat; collecting Deoxyribonucleic acid Souls and items that refill health, armament, and extra lives; power-ups that improve the player's maximum health; and armor parts that grant X new abilities.[ten] Defeating the Maverick boss at the phase'southward finish will earn the player its special weapon.[4] These weapons tin and so exist used to more easily defeat other bosses, as each one is weak to a unique weapon. Afterward each level, the DNA Souls gathered in the level volition accumulate, which the thespian tin use to purchase additional upgrades from Iris.[11] These upgrades range from speed and power improvements, wellness rechargers, and shielding.[4]

In the game's normal difficulty mode, the player is given the choice to cull between using 10 and using Zero, each lending their own advantages and disadvantages.[four] X uses his "10-Buster" to shoot enemies from a altitude. It can be charged up to inflict more than damage to enemies. Alternatively, Zero uses his "Z-Saber" for close-range combat. Zippo risks losing health more than often by getting closer to enemies, but his slashes are more dissentious than X's bullets.[10] A difficulty setting called "Xtreme Mode" can be unlocked where the player tin can switch between X and Zero on whatsoever level, thus assuasive them to gain different weapons depending on which bosses they defeat.[eleven] The major change in this game compared with other Mega Man Ten titles is that X and Zippo do not both gain a weapon when a boss is defeated; just the character used to destroy the Maverick will get the special weapon. This adds a hint of strategy to the gameplay, as i must consider not only the club in which they will fight each boss, but whether X or Naught's gained weapons will evidence more than effective later on on, and which are needed to proceeds difficult-to-achieve power-ups. Beating Xtreme Style volition unlock a "Boss Rush" that allows the player to boxing all viii Mavericks from this game too as the eight Mavericks from the first Mega Man Xtreme.[11]

Development [edit]

Mega Human being Xtreme 2 was developed and published by Capcom. Artist Haruki Suetsugu was responsible for doing the character designs and Japanese packet art for the game. He expressed joy over existence able to illustrate Iris, having not been able to do and so since Mega Man X4.[2] Because Mega Man Xtreme 2 was meant to be set up in earlier time period than that game, he modified Iris' outfit by subtracting her beret and giving her a compatible a "schoolgirl await" to brand her await younger.[two] Berkana and Gareth were drawn every bit a witch and a knight respectively to tie with medieval theme of the villains from the first Mega Man Xtreme. Gareth's king of beasts companion, which Suetsugu was given specific instructions to design as well, is not present in the bodily game.[2] Mega Man Xtreme ii was kickoff appear in Nippon during March 2001.[viii] Prior to the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Capcom announced that they would be localizing the game for western territories, besides the first title in another Mega Human spin-off series, Mega Human being Battle Network for the Game Boy Advance.[12]
