For this month's "Maps Of The Month" featurette, I wish to draw your attention to X GOD, HIVOLT & rmexesaito's Mega Man ZX (DS) maps.
In the year 24XX, two couriers, Vent and Aile, are delivering an artifact known as Biometal Model X. But when they are attacked by Mavericks, the Biometal gives them the power to Megamerge into Mega Man Model X. They meet Prairie and the Guardians, defenders of the Outlands, and they search for the remaining Biometals and eventually face Serpent, the evil president of Slither, Inc.
The gameplay is similar to the Mega Man Zero series. There are several missions to undertake in the game's various Areas. Defeating bosses and obtaining more Biometals (clearly based on X, Zero, and characters from Mega Man Zero) allows Vent/Aile to use more weapons and abilities. Despite being four hundred years old, this concept remains - a Mega Man game wouldn't be one without it!
However, unlike the original series and the X series, there is a lot of retraversal. It may be easy to get lost as more and more Areas become available. So we turn to X GOD and his partners, HIVOLT and rmexesaito, who have contributed many of the later Mega Man games, including this one. These maps are functional, of course, but also allow you to enjoy the incredible detail in these futuristic graphics - quite impressive, even for a DS game, and even for a Mega Man game!
So to recognize the effort put into these "ZXy" maps, X GOD, HIVOLT & rmexesaito's Mega Man ZX (DS) maps will be known as VGMaps.com's Maps Of The Month for February 2011.
