Description
Description:
This is my first work. Due to the lack of game design experience, the early process is similar to the original rom. Considering the broken sequence route design, the whole map appears larger and the route is more complex.
Therefore, in order to avoid getting lost, the correct path is indicated through the room downloaded from the MAP ROOM and the SAVE ROOM. This HACK can be cleared by defeat the Mother Brain, which is similar to M1.
Other precautions:
1.Due to the incorrect use of the patch, the customs clearance collection rate value is displayed incorrectly. E tank: 12; Ability:13; Missile Tank:51; Super Missile Tank:35 Power Bomb Tank:20; Total=131%
2.There are several overlapping rooms, and the correct entrance is relatively hidden, which is non-standard in game design. Not good enough.
3.Several no boss routes are designed. And Power Bomb can be obtained by breaking the sequence. However, the entrances are relatively hidden.
4.This hack is not difficult to clear because its process is close to the original. However, it is difficult to collect all items, and speed booster is necessary.
5.Because some items are too hidden, the whole map of the hack will be uploaded for reference.

So , the hack is mostly an half hack with some recolor / room amenagement etc...
so why only 2 orb ?

well simply because of a lot of stuff in both way by myself and in game

The edited tilling is bad mostly at the ,start of the game , some even making not any sense like at all.

Vanilla in game settings (meanning damage value dealt / taken)

Don't have any options to change the control to SNES (mostly personnal not taking in count)

Just a very few tweaks / ASM for QoL , and even with that it's not the "good one"

Still the rusty ZM physics (which i have a lot of issue on Rom hack after 2020)

Low effort / pale Gfx recolor for samus for being cleaned up (you can see the old color while shooting / saving , mostly with power and "varia")

There's a bunch more and sadly it could ruin the gameplay pretty fast

i won't say it's fully bad because there is effort and it's shown , even if the result isn't great
so yeah i finished it , but i won't recommend that version , hopping that another one will clean the mess a lot or at least most of it. then maybe i could enjoy it.

Finished
Do not recommend for now

If it were possible to give 0 orbs, then I would because this hack is NOT a good hack.
This is a very bad half hack.
I spent over an hour trying to find a way into Kraid's room and couldn't find it.
This makes the game UN-FUN for me.

There are many imperfect points, many rooms remaining unchanged in this hack, but it does have an interesting exploration line and some intriguing sequence breaks.
Tiling might be strange somewhere but kind of creative.
I gave 4 orbs because I don't think this is as bad as a half hack of 2 orbs or 1.

A amazing Chinese hack with outstanding rhythm.I do prefer the musics from Rockman ZX.

Janky, but lots of fun. The map is broken in quite a few places (mostly late in the hack in optional areas) and rooms are tiled strangely in others, but none of this really detracts from your experience in terms of exploration and item collection. It's quite casual in difficulty, the only really tough monster I found was the one giant Norfair beast that needed to be defeated with charge beam, and was immune to everything else. It was a strange decision considering you meet several more in a single room three rooms later but you can kill them with anything you like, although you will hesitate after having defeated the first one. Following statue clues entirely can tend to mislead you as well - there is a point where you are pointed to grabbing an item deep in Norfair, but you are not told that there is a major upgrade up in Crateria that you need to proceed on the path down. Half of Tourian and the optional areas connected to it contain rooms from single random tilesets each, mostly from Fusion - you'll jump from a BSL main room into a TRO shaft just by entering a door, and that's just one of many examples. Good ripped music though, if not a bit quiet compared to the interspersed vanilla songs. I definitely recommend it if you want to kill some boredom.

4.2/5

I love this hack despite some unusual design choices.
It looks a bit odd in some places, it has some graphical imperfections, the level design philosophy deviates quite a bit from the original game... but all in all, if you allow this hack to grow on you and accept that it's not going to be a standard experience, it's more likely than not going to be a good time.

Many hidden paths truly are hidden and there is sometimes more than one way of achieving a goal, which I like a lot, even though it requires some prior knowledge, so I would recommend doing more than one playthrough of this hack. I could appreciate the creativity of some puzzles more during my second playthrough.

Of note is the Rockman music, which in my opinion does not at all fit with the original MZM soundtrack, but individually they are amazing songs that give this hack its personal flavor.
During the time I played this hack I sometimes woke up from sleeping and heard the Crateria music playing in my head lol. Again, unusual, but not bad at all!

Finding all items without the map is hard, I haven't done so at this point, but I've found a lot. Discovering stuff yourself could be fun, but at a certain point I recommend consulting the map.

This is a large hack.
A first-time player should expect 2-5 hours playtime if just going for the credits.

I hope people will give it a try despite it's aggregate score currently being less than 4 orbs. I think it's pretty underrated!
