Games alike Mega Man Zero?

[Deso.]

Since then, there's also Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 and 30XX that have come out, and you might also be interested in Berserk Boy.

If you're looking for a similar story theming, the closest I'm aware of is the first Luminous Avenger iX.

Not exactly the story, but generally setting like world etc. But still appreciated. I need play Luminous Avenger.

Still Luminous Avenger iX. Same devs as the Zero/ZX series too.

Its more of a spinoff of Azure Striker Gunvolt (released after 2, but before 3), which also feels like a continuation on some world ideas from ZX, like having bosses that transform, or the main series having a resistance type situation.

Gravity Circuit is also very close, although much lighter in dialogue. They clearly took story beats directly from Zero 1-4.

I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!

Azure Strike Gunvolt?

Big thing to take note of.

Make sure to switch the language settings from English to Japanese (English).

All this does is change which text translation is used, as the game does not actually have English voice acting. Doing this just flips it from the old translation that cuts out more than half the dialogue, to the new translation.

You'll know you did it right if there is text dialogue while you can move and play the levels.

A choice that I think so many people overlook is Gravity Circuit. I find it plays most like Zero is MMZ2 because of the hookshot being a glorified chain rod. Either way, GC is a great MMZ-Like game that would be absolutely worth trying out if you're a Mega Man fan. A lot of the reviews (mine included) reference similarities to the Zero series.

I haven't seen anyone mentioned Dragon Marked for Death yet - I think it's literally made by some of the same folks that were on the MMZ team.

Gunvolt stuff has always felt like it spun off in an entirely different direction, and as a MegaMan X fan is absolutely not in the same universe of what I look for.

I'd absolutely suggest 30XX because if you pick Ace it uses a lot of Zero tech, and you can also mod the game with modern pixel MegaMan X sprites.

Dragons Marked for Death and Gunvolt are also the same devs.

Although yeah, they are very experimental. So it doesn’t really feel like you’re playing a Mega Man clone, more like heavily inspired but with new characters with their own gimmicks.

There’s no X style character, and even their sword characters aren’t Zero clones either

Someone else also mentioned Gravity Circuit which also has its own original moveset, but how they use the chain rod is similar to Zero 2 but much more effective

Gravity Circuit is good.

Virtua Unlimited Project is a very good Megaman Zero style game

If you want a game that closely echoes MMZ, I'd recommend this more than any of Inti's later output.

(Not to diss Inti's games, though. Gunvolt 3 is one of the best games I've ever played. But Gunvolt isn't at all like MMZ)

And as others have cited, Gravity Circuit is an extremely good game.
