Hello, everyone! I've just joined this community and since I am a Mega Man fan just like everybody else here (or so I think), I shall show you guys a game I've been making for a few years, which had its first public release recently. I poured lots of work into it and, even though its gameplay isn't 100% accurate to the NES games unlike many great MM fangames around here, I hope it will be fun for everyone, especially for those who like challenges or who've got some friends to play with.
Mega Man Online Showdown focuses on competitive online gameplay for up to 8 players. Each player picks his favorite robot master (currently, there are 28 playable robots in the game, including Mega Man, Proto Man, Bass and several assorted robots from MM1 to MM10) and goes to the battlefield to face his foes in an 8-bit deathmatch. Plenty of match customization options are available, including a few game modes such as Survival, Timed Mode and Team Battle.
Each Robot Master has
three different attacks that are chosen depending on the time spent charging it. (For instance, Skull Man activates his shield when the attack key is held until he's completely charged up) There are other minor features like
calling Beat, which will show the direction towards the nearest foe, and
Morphing, which is essentially choosing two robots before the match begins and being able to freely swap between the two during the actual match.
Also available is a smaller but very challenging
offline mode, with 13 missions ranging from Target Tests to challenges related to specific game items. Lastly, there are
over 70 achievements that can be earned during the game by doing various tasks. Some of them also unlock hidden characters which will become available for online play! Only three fighters are available from the start.
Gameplay VideosHere's some gameplay footage featuring a three-player survival mode match, uploaded before the first release as a teaser video.
