Mega Man Adventures is a cooperative game for 1-4 players designed by Michael Kelley and Peter Gousis. Based on the classic video game franchise, Mega Man Adventures sees players take on the roles of Mega Man and his allies to battle against the nefarious Dr. Wily and his powerful Robot Masters. There are two main ways to play the game: as a quick single game, or as an ongoing campaign to eventually take on Dr. Wily himself!
Players must plan their turns out by playing Action cards, using one for themselves and two others to support their fellow heroes with bonus abilities as they traverse deadly stages filled with traps, obstacles and enemies. If a single hero loses their last health point, all heroes lose!
Working together, the heroes will eventually each reach a dreaded Robot Master, who makes use of a unique boss pattern the players must decipher if they hope to defeat it and gain its signature weapon—handy when facing other Robot Masters or even Dr. Wily in his castle!
Featuring enemies, stages and Robot Masters from Mega Man 1, Mega Man 2, and Mega Man 3, you can play through campaigns that recreate those titles, or mix and match to create your own customized one! Whether you're a fan of the video games or simply enjoy cooperative games, Mega Man Adventures is a quick-playing, action-packed game for everyone to enjoy!
