Gameplay

This play east is very different from its predecessors of the series of the sets of platforms Megaman . Indeed, this play is, following the example others Megaman Battle Network , mainly is a Action-RPG using aspect of the Card decks to collect. The attacks are done via electronic chips ( battle Chips ) that the player must find, to buy, exchange or exchange and with which it must form a deck called “file” (or “ folder ” in version original) which will be used at the time of the phases of combat. The player, to progress, must obtain chips known as of “setting-with-day” to improve the capacities and the characteristics of the Navi Megaman.EXE.

The play is divided into two quite distinct phases:

the real-world in which the player controls Lan Hikari. This phase is connected with a play of adventure in which Lan must interact with other people and solve enigmas. It must find the chips of combat making it possible also there to improve its Navi .
the virtual world of Internet in which the player controls the Navi Megaman.EXE. It is always possible to interact with others Navis but this phase contains more directed elements action since the phases of combat proceed there.

The combat are random and partially with the turn by turn. A turn is defined by a gauge located in top the screen indicating how long it remains before the next phase making it possible to carry out an attack. The attacks are represented by the chips. Ells can be selected according to their code and of their name. The player can use more than only one chip if they have the same name and/or the same code. It is also possible for him to form combo S by combining several chips of the same name but with some differences with the levels of the letters and their order.

Certain chips have an effect associated with an element. There exists also a cyclic relation between the elements: fire burns wood, wood stops electricity, electricity leads water, water extinguishes fire, etc… This effects can be reflected at the same time on Megaman.EXE (according to the armor that this last carries) but also on certain monsters more sensitive to particular elements. Moreover certain boxes of the zone of combat can have an elementary attribute: the boxes of fire burn, the grass boxes look after etc…

Megaman.EXE has three characteristics: the attack, defense and power.

the attack defines the power of a blow of gun of Megaman.EXE
defense indicates the degree of damage which Megaman can resist.
the power makes it possible to vary the power of the gun.

The chips of setting-with-day make it possible to increase one of these caratéristiques.

There is in all 176 chips different in this shutter. August 1st
