Pretty solid hack
Reviewed By: SimplyDanny on 27 Mar 2023As someone who has seen the progression of New Lands for a few years now, the end product here has been definitely impressive, to say the least. The game has been rebuilt into something far more distinct, with a lot of custom ASM that not only polishes some of the quirks in MM1’s engine, but also creates brand new behaviors and mechanics that help make it stand out on its own. The new enemies/bosses are pretty challenging yet fun to take on, and the new weapons are entertaining to use, even if they are a little gimmicky. The custom music and graphics are pretty nice as well. Level design is pretty consistent for the most part, though a few sections in stages like Caveman and Wily 3 can get a bit too tough. Overall, though the final result here is definitely a contender for best Mega Man 1 hack.
