I want to talk about it.
It's a great concept: turning a gacha into an offline game and bundling nearly all the content it offered over the years under a single payment. That said, MMX Dive clearly suffers from being a mobile-first game, with a clunky and convoluted user interface that feels all over the place when played on PC or console.
Not gonna lie—my younger self had a huge crush on Iris. Being able to play as her and put her in a bikini would've sent teenage me absolutely spiraling. I remember how hard it was to find reference images of her for my drawings back in the early 2000s. Funny enough, nowadays, I couldn’t care less.
In my view, MMX Dive is an interesting piece of Mega Man history—similar to how Mighty No. 9 is: flawed but notable. I’d recommend picking it up only if it’s on sale... or, honestly, just pirate it.
The gameplay is fun, but it’s undeniably a downgrade from what made Mega Man great. From aesthetics to controls, everything feels like a weaker version of what came before. It’s "fun-ish," but has that familiar modern taste: a watered-down rendition of something that used to be amazing. Sometimes it feels like the decline of Mega Man mirrors broader cultural and economic decay—yet another small sign of recession.
I just can’t wait for Mega Man X Corrupted.
