Great hack, but with frustrating levels
Reviewed By: MTZPyrakid on 25 Mar 2023I beat the original hack first recently, I feel like this one’s level design is alot more frustrating. I think most things are improvements but specifically the level design is worse in some places.
I’d recommend the original The New Lands for the less seasoned players, though that one is still harder than the original Mega Man, I think it’s easier than the remaster.
I like the updated robot masters, and the new gimmicks. I also like how the remaster *looks*.
Some stages are better than others, but I specifically had a problem with Cave Man’s stage. That stage was unbelievably frustrating, and took me several tries to beat. I also don’t like the enemy that makes Mega Man trip if he’s on the ground. I liked the old layout alot more.
I like that Tint Man’s “look up” section with the invisible tiles is alot easier to figure out. I think that’s a really big improvement for that stage, but as a whole, I think I liked the old layout more. But both could be improved.
If I were to not compare it to the original, and rate it as its own hack, I’d say it’s got alot of great things, but some stages can be really frustrating, I’d say its more suited for more skilled Mega Man players. Maybe veterans, but I’d argue this is more difficult than most of the official games.
