More On: Mighty No. 9

You may have heard that Mighty No. 9 has been delayed, again. Now eager Kickstarter backers won't have it until sometime in 2016. That sucks. Don't despair, though! Why not avoid Mighty No. 9's accumulated broken promises, ill will and ugly drama by playing 20XX while you wait?

20XX from Batterystaple Games is a Megaman-style roguelike--yes, a roguelike platformer--that is now in early access on Steam for $11.99. Steam community reviews are quite positive so far, and the game even includes online co-op. Best of all, it's here now. It's also on track for a 2015 full release. Who knows when Mighty No. 9 will come out? If you're on the fence, check out this trailer to get a feel for the game. 

About 20XX

20XX is a co-op-friendly roguelike that plays like Mega Man X. Explore procedurally generated levels, collect new weapons and abilities, purchase upgrades, and battle mighty bosses in the name of saving the human race maybe!

History

Indie newcomer Batterystaple Games started 20XX in the middle of 2013. Chris "CK" King is a huge fan of the Mega Man X series, and wanted to reimagine a modern version of the game with procedural, roguelike gameplay and multiplayer co-op. The result was the (then named) Echoes of Eridu, which had a successful Kickstarter campaign in May 2014 thanks to 572 amazing fans. After renaming the game 20XX, CK joined the Fire Hose Games accelerator program in late 2014, and is now on track to launch in 2015!
