TSA writes: "I didn’t give much attention to 20XX when it launched back in 2017. While the idea of a Mega Man inspired action platformer with a roguelike twist seems pretty unique, it never managed to grab my interest at the time. Looking back on the game and comparing it to the upcoming sequel 30XX, it becomes clear which element of the experience stopped me from obsessing over it: the art style. This isn’t the case at all with 30XX, however, which has managed to cultivate a much more polished and memorable aesthetic to go along with the quick action and addictive gameplay loop."
"30XX is one of the best roguelikes out there, combining the tight platforming action of the Mega Man X series with the challenge and randomization that roguelike fans crave. Batterystaple Games has done lots of refinement through updates since 30XX first appeared on Steam Early access a few years ago. The latest such update adds a new character for free, one who combines the best attributes of the two existing characters. Also, the Steam version is on sale, making it a great time to travel to the distant year of 30XX!" says Co-Optimus.
"The Seattle-based (the US) indie games developer Batterystaple Games are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the 1.2 content update for their mega-roguelite platformer “30XX” (the sequel to Batterystaple Games’ roguelite/platformer 20XX).
The said update is available right now for PC via Steam (the Nintendo Switch update of the game will launch in a very near future)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"Capcom has shown precious little interest in keeping the Mega Man franchise alive, hence it’s up to indie developers to carry the torch. Chief among those developers is Batterystaple Games, whose well-received 20XX started on PC and made its way to consoles over time. After a period of early access, the sequel, 30XX has fully launched on Steam and Switch. The new game offers lots of new levels, weapons, and mechanics; a level creator, and 2-player local and online co-op support. It’s everything a Mega Man fan could want, but old-school difficulty limits the game’s accessibility," says Co-Optimus.
