Protodroid DeLTA

Protodroid Delta is punishment. The delightful kind. Delta is a cute savage. Her world is equally colorful and dangerous. Characters are imaginitive and unique. This game is everything one would expect a 3D megaman game to be that we never got. Obstacles are combined with enemy threats elegantly also. So far there was a level design error on the desert stages. It's a platform that does not return after it takes off. You basically have to intentionally fall off to reset it if you miss the platform.

Game is pretty beefy despite what looks like only 4 stages. I spent roughly ~90 minutes just on one stage alone due to the sheer length. The game does have it so that you start at the check points so if you need to close out your progress isn't lost. Control-wise this is pretty damn solid, you can remap the buttons to something that feels a bit more comfortable and the overall flow is extremely satisfying. Movement is perfect, the speed and control is just right where you can get a good pace going while also being able to dodge enemies and attacks, but the difficulty is also just right where you aren't going to be able to just dodge everything, the game will, in very subtle ways, encourage you to stop and actually deal with the enemies around you. I can't comment much on the power ups but you do get some expected dash abilities at the very least, one as an attack and another as an air dash (at least from the left most stage), so your movement options and attack options are decently varied in the end.

[Not a backer, But I followed this game from when it was about 75% completed] The game, was rough around the edges. a lot of small bugs that are not game breaking, just a bit annoying. in summary, game was fun! they did very good with the save function cause for someone that works it makes it easier to just jump back on and play again. i dont recommend stopping right before a boss fight cause youll have to remember the controls if you leave it for more than a week! lol $17 the sweet spot for this game in my opinion. full price is if you really want to support the developers which i think they deserve it either way. unlockable content felt lacking. but fair. story was good. i would definitely recommend if you like playing these types of games. for my full review: The controls, surprisingly good. as fluid as honey. really good but i personally wish i could do more with it. like in a good hack and slash. graphics, i enjoyed them. its an indie game and i wasnt expecting the most amazing graphics. 3D graphics are on point, the only thing that would need polishing is the cutscenes. it feels like all the work went to the 3D and the 2D was left closer to concept art. i was letting the trailer play in the background and i saw that they had some amazing animation in it but you dont really get that fluid animation when playing the cutscenes. unlockables for the game were good. but it felt lacking. the tribute skins were a nice touch and you can easily unlock if not hunting them down i believe. it was not time consuming, the game saves were placed nicely. i was appreciative for that, i work so not having to redo a whole stage is very nice, though im sure there are people out there that would like that challenge and id recommend for them to add the ability to limit or increase save points in the settings. the story, it was - pretty good! felt like a lot of trope check boxes were marked. lol not a bad thing but not a good thing either. a regular story and there is nothing wrong with that. i still recommend the game. its worth playing.

amazing short story with cherishable characters and too.

The love for the megaman games is evident, great game overall

It takes heavy inspiration from mega-man but makes it 3D. I enjoyed my time with the game

platform is decent, shooting is terrible: if i have to manouver the camera while shooting and jumping then all the buttons i should need for gameplay should be the triggers and the shoulders buttons melee is probably the best part and it's really just ok. wall jump wasn't as smooth as i assumed should have been but it's not bad. designs are terrible: these characters looks like concord rejects drawn in a megaman x inspired artstyle. all the music was insufferable for me: too much repetitive. all the enviroment is VERY similar and kinda unispired... kinda reminds me the eggman city level in sonic heroes. i didn't like it, but i am sure these developers can do better the next time they want to make a 3d megaman x/zero clone... just for the love of everything change designs and get some musician to make actual music and not some 20 seconds loops now if only crapcom would ever do it... and not make it bad like MM7... just use the experienced guys who made 3d action games for years

Fazes muito longas e quando chega no chefe tu já fica de saco cheio... Me decepcionei muito, achei que seria algo como um "Megaman x7" que deu certo, mas me enganei... Sério porque as fazes são tão longas???

Too hard for me (which just means i am a normal person with other things to do than endlessly practicing getting through obnoxious platformer levels), i will never reach the end. But i like the style and the characters, and i didn't run into any bugs so far, so it still gets a positive. Objectively a good game, subjectively not for me sadly. It gave me mega man vibes, cool. I just don't have the time or energy (anymore) to practice this, because while i initially liked the gameplay, it quickly grew old and not worth the nerves to lose over, which is a rare resource for me. If the gameplay would have been more diverse, with other things to do, that would be different. But the constant rinse and repeat is obnoxious to me. The game is definitely for those who have nothing better to do, and i envy those who see everything of it.

full disclosure, i backed this on kickstarter because im a sucker for a megaman x clone. The gameplay is really smooth to where i don't really feel like any of the platforming isn't my fault. You have full control in the air which was a nice touch. Then the only real issue i have is that you need to really wait a second before the next charge input. So you do a full charge then wait before you can press and hold to charge. it was a bit frustrating but it was manageable. The game has a pretty smooth difficulty spike but does it really ramp up on the final stages. It was the only real point i struggled with while playing. Other than that if i died it was because i was rushing to speed run a stage rather than take my time. The story itself wasn't bad but i wasn't immersed. I found myself not really caring for almost anyone but the personalities were diverse as well as the cast. Some of the voice actors where stiff in their lines but it was alright. Honestly the lines kinda got cringey but was game isn't at times. with that, Dr shelton was pretty alright but the other Dr who made Anndroid really annoyed me as a character. the only other one was the rockstar boss. I didnt feel like i needed the abilities to beat it. I never really used them in Megaman so maybe thats a me problem but even the shield didn't seem to work all that well so i just used the main blaster. I tried some of them but the main weapon was the only one you really need. I didn't use the blade as much as i wanted so maybe that can be more useful in another game. The menus were a bit lack luster but got the job done. It could have been a bit cleaner but thats more of a vain thing. I found pretty much everything on one run through, the special stages and power ups. Honestly it was nice not having to find a hidden pathway thats hard to see but a warp portal to get you there and have platform puzzles. all in all, it was a good first game and if Adam takes anything away from this is * Better dialog * keep the full control in the air * Make the abilities more useful * UI needs an overhaul * make the platforming special zones more difficult Good game, and i hope there is a second! 7/10
