Rockman X - Prelaunch Trailer

This 1993 action-platformer/shooter casts you as X, the first sentient robot, who must join the Maverick Hunters to stop rogue robots led by Sigma. The core loop involves non-linear stage selection where defeating a boss grants a new weapon effective against another. Uniquely, you discover hidden armor upgrades that unlock essential mobility like the dash and powerful charged shots, fundamentally evolving X's combat capabilities throughout this challenging adventure.
