Along the way they must fight the usual eight Maverick bosses, and they also gain new Maverick Hunter allies such as Synthia. The game's story takes place in an Alternative Continuity after Mega Man X5, where X and Zero are forced to fight a dangerous new Maverick called Strike who hijacks X's Ultimate Armor and threatens to bring the world into ruin again. However, the game also differs from the original series by being a Metroidvania-styled game (similar to Mega Man ZX) where X and Zero can level up and earn skill points to power up their attacks and weapons. The game uses the retro 16-bit graphics and SNES-like music of the Mega Man X series. The project has been in development since the late 2000s, and production is still going strong. It was formerly being made in Flash Develop, but later moved to HTML5. The Ride Armor makes a return as well, with a slew of customization options including a blaster arm attachment that is used to make short work of Magma Dragoon's return appearance.Mega Man X: Corrupted is an upcoming Mega Man X fan-game being developed by John K.

This helps to diverge Zero from simply being a melee-version of X by giving him a system of combat that feels more like a reward than a self-imposed challenge. Zero may get fewer armor upgrades, but has a unique combo system that allows him to chain together slashes and special techniques, allowing skilled players to pull off rapid combinations that feel right out of the Marvel Vs. Furthermore, these parts can be mixed for new effects unique to each combination, encouraging experimental gameplay. The new Hydra water-elemental armor for X seems to focus on survival and damage mitigation with a buster that can shoot through walls, a jump upgrade and item-pulling ability, whereas the Phoenix Armor focuses on offense with a burning dash and rapid-fire charge shot when below a certain threshold of health. Upgrades for X's armor are nothing new, but Corrupted offer a new take on upgrades. Related: Zero's History With Mega Man X, From Sidekick to Hero
