20XX Reviews
With 20XX, Batterystaple Games has successfully taken the Mega Man series' formula multiple steps further by adding a series of upgrades and Rogue-Like mechanics. The game looks great, the gameplay is fast and fluid, and although its difficulty sometimes seems insane and, in some cases, even unfair, it's still a fun, exciting, and satisfying title

20XX is a game that uses nostalgia, well-detailed graphics, simple gameplay - which works pretty well - and the possibility to upgrade your characters' attributes to please Mega Man fans. Despite the lack of a story mode and a multiplayer with some problems, 20XX is a game that will make the player have hours of pretty good fun.

20XX's physics are almost a perfect recreation of a certain blue bomber, but the roguelike elements don't always work as they should. The procedurally generated levels don't have the same spark as Capcom's offerings, and its permadeath is an acquired taste.
What the game does lack, however, is content to come back to after mastering the quick 20XX runs. This doesn't mean that 20XX is worth skipping out on, though. This endless retro shooter is worth checking out, especially if you love Mega Man X or just solid platforming in general.
20XX is a capable roguelike version of Mega Man X.
In summary, 20XX is a great game that nevertheless has a few rough edges. My only nagging complaints were that I wanted even more. More bosses (hidden or otherwise), more characters, even more levels. Given the inspiration for this game, I would have even liked some mini bosses that perhaps popped up mid stage and offered you Core parts when you beat them. And ultimately, I wanted more plot. Or any plot, really. The game is charming, but it would be more so if I knew what the hell was going on. That said, it’s still very addictive and I would highly recommend it to fans of platformers. It provided at least 10 hours of gameplay for only $17.99, and that’s without unlocking 100% of the items. If you love rogue platformers and want a Mega Man experience on your Switch right now, you can’t go wrong with 20XX. Just be prepared to scream at the game when you die of bullet hell.
20XX provides many hours of jumping, dashing, and shooting, solo or with a friend. Although the randomized level generation does show patterns after many hours and the wait between stages is a little inconvenient. Batterystaple Games is committed to updating the game, so there is more polish and refinement yet to come. This is an absolute, recommended must-play for any Mega Man X fans! 4.5 loud MEOWS!!!
20XX is a highly enjoyable game if you are a fan of the Mega Man franchise. You may not have the charisma or character of the classic characters, but you have managed to take all those known mechanics, add a multitude of options and put it in a cocktail shaker to offer a roguelike Very addictive.

20XX is a great game if you are a fan of the old Capcom classics. It doesn't quite get to their level of quality, but it mixes an awesome gameplay with a lot of nostalgia to create a good experience, if sometimes boring.

20XX is clearly inspired by Mega Man games of yore, but it fails to live up to the intricate level design, memorable enemies, and clever bosses. The randomized nature means each play is different, which may appeal to some gamers, but I’ll take a hand-crafted experience over this any day of the week. There’s a lot to like here, but it never came together quite the way I had hoped.
20XX could’ve easily been a thrown together rip-off of the Mega Man X games. Despite this, it manages to pay tribute to those games, but stands on its own by infusing Rogue-lite mechanics.
Mega Man X lovers should rejoice when it comes to nailing down how the game feels because 20XX absolutely nails it. The tight controls and platforming feel great. Adding to that the various upgrading and online play, there's plenty of fun to be had here. Taking your Switch anywhere and X'ing through a different stage each time is kinda cool. It's too bad there's not much of a story and while the procedurally-generated levels offer limitless replay value, predictable layouts with only 4 themes wears out the novelty. If you're in it simply for the endlessness of it and fantastic controls, then you're in for a good time.
With plenty of modes, tons of upgrades, an in-depth record of your statistics and, most importantly, fun gameplay, 20XX certainly deserves a place next to Capcom’s mascot in the library of your Nintendo Switch.
There are lots of unique and sometimes ridiculous playstyles you can find yourself in depending on your choices. Cynical, repetitive, and pretty fun once you get into the groove, 20XX is easy to pick up and worth sinking some time into.
20XX does such a perfect job landing the feel of a Mega Man X game, and it adds in a heaping helping of progression and replayability that has had me coming back over and over and over.
20XX is a fantastic game that oozes passion and is a strong tribute to the Mega Man X series. This is a must buy for a discounted title!
Fans of Mega Man X, 20XX is for you. It’s everything that you’ve probably wanted since the last release fourteen years ago back in 2004. It’s fun, it’s well built and even more, it’s designed for even those that only have time for a stage or two before having to run out the door with a quick save option. The only downside? There’s no real story. That’s it. 20XX is all the classic gameplay with modern accuracy and responsiveness that you need for both your platforming needs and the void that Capcom have left since the last release of the Mega Man X series.
20XX stands alone as not only a perfect alternative for Megaman fans, but also a fantastic game in its own right.
20XX offers a great opportunity to play a game that takes the genre and adds value with the rogue-like game styles and the addition of multiplayer modes. If you enjoy platform action shooting games then 20XX is a great game to experience.
