Mighty No. 9 is a Japanese side-scrolling action game that takes classic 8- and 16-bit elements and gives them a modern twist with new mechanics, fan input, and advanced technology. Players take on the role of Beck, the 9th in line of powerful robots who has been spared from a mysterious computer virus that has caused mechs to go berserk. Through six stages (or more depending on stretch goals), Beck must run, jump, blast, and transform his way through enemies while stealing their weapons and abilities to take down fellow Mighty Number robots until he can confront the ultimate evil threatening the planet. Once allies working together side by side, now it's up to Beck alone to save Earth from these rogue machines!
