Megaman ZX: Prequel [Rockmanlab]

Though you won't get much out of the story right now (from what I've gathered it concerns the spread of a lingering Reploid virus), gameplay is fairly easy to pick up on. If you played ZX, ZX Advent or any game from the Zero series, you should be right at home. Unique to ZX Prequel, though, is a light/dark world system. In the light world, you'll occasionally run into virus-infected mechaniloids. However, in the dark world, ALL enemies will be infected. Light or dark, enemies infected with the virus are said to be stronger than the norm. A gauge at the top of the screen shows you just how bad the outbreak is in your current position.

Here we have two new protagonists. We have Nett, the Model X Chosen One, and Elf, the Model Z Chosen One. We will be covering both of their stories, but Elf will be done first. So let's get started with our female protagonist, who wakes up in a forest. She has no idea who or where she is, or why the atmosphere is so deadly where she is. Nor does Model Z, who just so happens to be next to her, know anything about her. But before she can wonder anything else, she is attacked. And has to Megamerge with Model Z in order to defend herself. After she does, a quake happens and she ends up in the regular forest. Good ol' Area A. Everything here is about the same as we remember it, except for the virus going around. Unlike the virus in X5, this virus only goes after enemies, and it makes them stronger. Some enemies gain barriers from the infection, and will require a powerful attack to dispel it. Going further in leads us to a door to Cyberspace, and here is where we meet the main focus of the game. See, Cyberspace has somehow been corrupted by the virus going around. Everything is dark, the atmosphere can kill you if you're outside these auras scattered around for too long, and all the enemies are boosted like they are when infected with the virus. It's also in here where our two protagonists meet...

Since its launch in late July, Mega Man ZX Prequel – a fan-game set 200 years before the events of Mega Man ZX – quickly become a favorite among Chinese-speaking Mega Man communities.

According to project lead Sousou, the English (and Japanese) translation started production a couple weeks ago. It's being developed concurrently with a new version of the game based on fan-feedback. In the meantime, the original Chinese version is primed and ready to play.
