By João DuarteMighty No. 9 created very high expectations and could have reached a perfect formula for success but as it is, it failed to capture Mega Man's essence and doesn't build up on what its inspiration did best.

By Martin KubešMighty No. 9 promised many things to the fans of the legendary Mega Man, however developers weren't able to keep their huge promises. Instead of an entertaining platformer we received an uninteresting game, which tries to hide its flaws behind hardcore difficulty. Simply said, that's not enough for a modern player.

By EricMighty No. 9 fails on so many levels it is tough to forgive. Despite a huge budget, it feels incredibly cheap. The platforming is not smooth, the voice acting is horrendous, the story ham-fisted, the challenge more frustrating than fun, and it's impossible to not be compared to better platformers. It fails to use so many modern conventions, all while still lacking any sort of retro style, leaving it in a weird lurch where it neither has nostalgia going for it, nor any modern sense of fun. Not even fans of the genre will enjoy this as a lesson for what not to do. It is lacking in anything that might redeem it, such as style, or heart, and, unfortunately, tries to slide by mere virtue of a Mega Man-clone and fails even at this task.

By TraceyThe wait has been long, and while the game has it's fun moments, I'm left feeling it could have been soo much more. Hopefully, the team takes what they've learned with Mighty No. 9 and applies it to the sequel I hope they're working on.

By Sean WarhurstMighty No. 9 is a game hamstrung by its own hubris. By choosing to rely upon archaic design decisions and outdated level design it fails to achieve the level of success so clearly desired by the developers. The passion behind the project is clear to see, even if one can't shake the feeling that a few too many shortcuts were taken in order to release on multiple platforms, but the legacy of the Mega Man series looms over the game and it's unable to pull itself out of its shadow. If Comcept hadn't so stubbornly adhered to the source of its inspiration and were willing to take more risks with the title then maybe it could have been something really special but at the moment it's let down by some baffling creative decisions.
