Rockman DASH

Game Details:

This game, known as "Rockman DASH" in Japan, was renamed "Mega Man Legends" for its release in the West. The story is set in a future world covered by oceans, where the protagonist and his companions travel around in an airship to search for treasure. Players need to explore underground ruins on vast islands, battle guardian machines, and gradually uncover the secrets of the "Mother Lode" and ancient civilizations. The game uses a full 3D perspective, allowing players to move freely, aim, and shoot, while collecting parts to upgrade weapons and armor. The rich side missions and town interactions enhance the game's immersive feel and lay the foundation for the series' subsequent sequels.

Editor's Recommendation:

We recommend "Rockman DASH" not only because it's a major innovation in the Mega Man series, but also because its open-world exploration and role-playing elements were extremely groundbreaking at the time. The 3D scenes bring unprecedented freedom, allowing players to freely upgrade weapons, unlock hidden areas, and experience touching character stories. The humorous and adventurous storyline, combined with diverse combat, makes this work attractive not only to series fans but also to players who enjoy action RPGs and exploration games.

Game Walkthrough:

In "Rockman DASH" making full use of the resources in the island towns and underground ruins is key to improving your strength. First, it's recommended that players complete more side missions in the towns early on, such as assisting residents with repairing facilities or finding lost items. These missions can earn extra funds and rare parts. When exploring ruins, carefully search for hidden passages and destructible walls, as many rare components are hidden in concealed corners and can be used to strengthen weapons. In battle, skillfully use side-stepping and jumping to dodge enemy attacks, while maintaining continuous shooting to suppress the enemy. After accumulating funds, prioritize upgrading the attack power and energy capacity of your shooting weapons, as this can significantly shorten boss battle times. When facing strong enemies, prepare enough recovery items and use the terrain to find cover. By rationally planning exploration routes and weapon enhancements, players can easily cope with the later difficulty and uncover more hidden storylines.
