Street Fighter X Mega Man really needs a save feature, and the README instructions should have more guidance about which order to attempt the levels. However, the recent glut of great indie retro platformers, like VVVVVV or even Cave Story, have shown that you don't need a big team to create a great game that's tough without being unfair. This is a fan-made game, so it's hard to judge against 'professiona' titles. The 8-bit versions of the Street Fighter characters look great, although you may be too busy trying to avoid them to notice! The soundtrack sounds just right for this retro tribute too. The graphics and music are lovingly done, with each level based on a Street Fighter theme. You'll need all your retro skills to complete this.

Enemies range from difficult to very difficult, and the Street Fighter bosses even more so. Combined with the overall toughness of Street Fighter X Mega Man, this makes for a really tough game.

Unlike the old Mega Man games, there's no save or password system, so if you want to beat the game you have to do it on one go. Controls are faithful to Mega Man, with jumps, slides and weapons all working as they should. You can play with keyboard or a gamepad - Street Fighter X Mega Man will recognize a gamepad as long as it's connected when you start the game.
