Overview
Description

In the fifth chapter of the original Mega Man series, the battle is closer to home as Mega Man fights to save the world from further destruction. Gain the advantage by picking up items and successfully defeating bosses to gain their weapons as your own. Get ready for intense action-platforming in 13 stages before taking up battle against Protoman! Master challenging platforming mechanics, defeat robotic foes, and acquire unique weapons to overcome each new obstacle in your path.

Mega Man 10 continues the beloved NES-style tradition of classic side-scrolling action, bringing back authentic 8-bit graphics, chiptune music, and challenging platforming gameplay. Set in the year 20XX, the world is facing a devastating robotic virus known as Roboenza, which disables robots and threatens humanity. After Dr. Wily claims his medicine-making machine parts were stolen by infected robots, Mega Man and Proto Man team up to defeat eight new Robot Masters and retrieve the cure. Players experience nostalgic, high-difficulty stages, master weapon copying from defeated bosses, and uncover a deceitful plot by Dr. Wily across multiple retro platforms.
