Rockman X3
洛克人：X3
Rockman X3, released by Capcom in 1996, is a side-scrolling action game featuring protagonist X in battle against eight robot masters. Players navigate through stage select, choosing any available level to complete first. Combat relies on precise jumping and shooting—using the standard blaster or weapons gained from defeated bosses. Each robot master drops a special weapon with unique properties and limited ammunition. The game introduces a support character, Axl, who can be summoned to assist in combat. Stage design emphasizes platforming challenges and enemy placement that demands careful movement and timing. After collecting enough weapons, players access the fortress stages where they face increasingly difficult robot encounters. Rockman X3 offers multiple difficulty settings and hidden features, rewarding exploration and skilled play throughout its campaign.
