Halcyon Days

This is an incredible tribute to Megaman Legends! It nails the unsettling ambience and visuals of the ruins perfectly. The open world is all fully loaded, so there are no loading screens between zones on the same island, which feels very nice. Movement is fluid and feels good. I especially like that you can fire at enemies while using the jet skates, it adds a nice extra bit of mobility to combat and just feels good. The voice acting is good and fits the characters well. The open world is vibrant and nice to look at, but there isn't much to find when you go exploring. I keep hoping to find a hidden treasure chest or an easter egg somewhere tucked in a corner, but I haven't found any yet. I'll keep looking, just in case! This game also works very well on the Steam Deck! In open world areas there will be some loss of FPS when looking toward areas of the map with a lot of objects, but otherwise it seems to perform flawlessly. I have now finished the game and highly recommend it. I did encounter some odd bugs in the final ruin, but could not reliably reproduce them.

ローポリシューティングアクション。PSで発売されたロックマンDASHのような作品であると作者自ら公言していて、実際遊んでみると視界制限がなく（おそらくマップ機能を用意できなかったため）各モーションもモッサリといった気になる部分もあるが、敵キャラやダンジョンの無機質な怖さや、操作性の独特の難がある事（褒めてる）、テクスチャを貼り付けたようなキャラデザも大変それっぽい。ダンジョン以外のフィールドや町はスッカスカなのにやたら広いので探索は結構しんどめ、ただし序盤を超えるとローラーシューズが手に入るので移動自体はマシになる。作者が製作に慣れてきたのかゲームが進む程ギミックも構造も凝ってくるので後半はしっかり面白い。 セーブは拠点にいる相棒に話しかける時しか出来ない。のにバグが多く頻繁に進行不能になるのでこまめなセーブを怠ると泣きをみる点は注意。 ロックマンDASHのファンであれば色々な問題点を差し引いてもオススメ。…や、それでも出来の悪さを許容できるかは人によりそうだが

Pros: Developer cares about the product Pros: Will continue to get updates to address bugs and enhance the gameplay Pros: Pew Pew Cons: Blender

Short version: There's some genuine work and effort put into this passion project, and there IS a good game underneath the issues; however, it's currently a very buggy game, and this makes it difficult for me to recommend to anyone. If these bugs are fixed, there's an homage to the Legends titles here that fans will love, but in its current state, I have to recommend holding off until further patches come out.

While I appreciate the love for the original games, it's hard to take this one seriously as it is a complete clone of the legends games. This wouldn't be such an issue if the game played great, but it doesn't. I'm not sure why you'd play this over legends when it's better in every way imaginable and Halcyon Days adds nothing new to the formula.

I feel conflicted about not recommending this, because I want this game to be the best that it can be. I don't consider this a cynical cash-grab or an asset flip; it does give me the impression that the person making it has a strong love for Mega Man Legends, but they admittedly said that this is also their very first game. And it shows. Aside from the presentation being rough and inconsistent, I have encountered a numerous amount of bugs, whether it be dialogue boxes glitching out for me, weapon energy no longer recovering after reaching a certain point in the game, clipping through the floor in a dungeon and falling into the void and getting softlocked, or encountering an occasional crash or two after blowing up certain enemies. I can forgive the majority of the bugs I listed above, since most of them can be anticipated or worked around. I cannot recommend the game in the state that it is in because I have encountered a bug in a mandatory cutscene that is supposed to trigger the endgame glitching out and preventing the cutscene from moving forward, and by extension, being prevented from finishing the game. I do not know whether or not the head dev will fix the bugs that I have proposed, but until they manage to do so and make the game completable, I cannot recommend Halcyon Days in the state that it is right now. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I feel I should leave this to warn anyone who want to play a game like this from start to finish, when it is not possible for the time being. I will change this review when this particular bug is properly fixed, among others, and the game is in a properly completable state.

Highly recommended if you enjoyed Megaman Legends/ Megaman 64. However, there are some bugs like with all games. That said it was fun, the bugs only needed a reset twice and the other times made a neat challenge on how to keep playing.

DO NOT BUY!!!! This game does not work! It is nothing but crashes and bugs that soft lock you, why this game is even allowed on steam is beyond me. Developer has abandoned this game.

I love this game but circle strafing with your skates while holding down the shoot button will defeat every boss, every time. If you really love and miss Megaman Legends its probably worth getting this game, I like to imagine this is actually the same universe, etc. and we're seeing the adventures of a different character.

I would like to start by saying there is no such thing as a bad product just a bad price, and well, this game is fun, and with a little more love and polish it can be even more fun, it just feels a little bit lacking in the polish and gameplay mechanics, and the story, however it is a fun game, but going back to my orignal point i think it would be an even better product if it was placed in the 5-10 dollar range
