The game takes place on a huge world map rather than in stages.You can switch between X and Zero once you begin the main game. X and Zero are both playable characters, with X relying entirely on his X-Buster and Zero on his Z-Saber.The game's soundtrack is composed by Dominic Ninmark and is made to give the same feel as the SNES games but with a remixed touch.Graphics made to mimic the style the Super Nintendo Mega Man X game games, using all new tile-sets and enemies, and borrowing mechanics from all Mega Man X titles.
