YMMV / Mega Man X: Corrupted

• Awesome Art: The game's sprites are a hybrid of the 16-bit colors of X1-X3 and the 32-bit details of X4-X6, making for a unique yet nostalgic style.
• Awesome Music: Dominic Ninmark (a.k.a. Nitroflash), the game's composer, did an awesome job with the soundtrack. It uses instruments from the first three SNES X games and combines them for some truly impressive compositions. Listen to it here.
• Ensemble Dark Horse:
  • Zero's Viral Armor is quite popular and has lots of a fanart already.
  • Strike is popular in his own right, due to his status as a cool-looking Knight of Cerebus with Laughing Mad tendencies.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Neurohack Mosquito's Desperation Attack has him summon a huge mecha to attack you with. Sometime later, an official Mega Man game, Mega Man 11, has one of its robot masters, Block Man, use this as their desperation attack too, the one difference being Block Man transforms into one, and Neurohack Mosquito possesses a dilapidated mech from the junkyard.
• Most Wonderful Sound:
  • The game incorporates both the SNES and PSX charge-up sounds. X and Zero primarily use the former, while the latter is used for Ride Armor weapons.
  • The black hole ability and Strike's charge shot make a deep, satisfying warp sound. Funnily enough, it comes from when a boss health meter appears in Mega Man X7, of all places.
• Tear Jerker: Sparking Scorpio's fate is just tragic. According to Siren, he isn't a maverick by choice or by virus infection, but because he was built with a hardware defect common in models from his production year. The pre-battle dialogue shows that he's in pain from the power plant's power surge, which drives him mad just as X/Zero tries to extract him peacefully, forcing them to fight. It even implies that he was tricked into going there by someone else who lied to him.
  Scorpio: The power- iT- It Hurts!
  X: Scorpio, are you alright? Why did you absorb so much energy from the station?
  Scorpio: i wAS t-T-told-

  X: Damn. This isn't good. Scorpio, please listen-
