A group of robot controlling gang leaders are keeping sun-bathed cities in their terrorous grips but a more upstanding robot with human-like AI intends to put a stop to that and return peace to the lands. Let us then review if Protodroid DeLTA, a Kickstarter-backed homage to Megaman X can stand proudly next to its influences.

I gave Protodroid Delta a shot earlier this year, and while it made a good first impression the more I played the less I enjoyed it. The combat didn’t feel engaging and a lot of the level gimmicks made for some frustrating platforming sections. Maybe it’s because I didn’t get the upgrades in what’s considered the “right” order, but I wasn’t really compelled to keep going and find them. And I fully agree that we should have seen an example of the chaos being sewn by the Vypers to keep us motivated, rather than just telling us we have to defeat them because they’re evil.
Art design is nice if a little simplistic, and the voice acting was okay, but the actors could have emoted more and tried to sound less stilted in their delivery. A shame it fell flat because I do want to see more games with a solarpunk aesthetic – I just want them to be fun to play.
