''Mega Man X [=DiVE=]'' (or ''Rockman X [=DiVE=]'') is a formerly free-to-play 2D action-platformer made using the [[{{UsefulNotes/Unity}} Unity engine]] by Creator/{{Capcom}} Taiwan for iOS and Android. A "global" release handled by [=NebulaJoy=] was released in July 2021, officially only available in the US and UK, but planned for other western territories. ''Another'' English-localized release, this time on PC via Steam, happened in September 2021, though this version is based on the Taiwanese original rather than the version handled by NBJ.

** When selecting one of the males from the ''X'' or ''Zero'' series with a Melee weapon, they will cycle through three poses. Pose 1 is original, Pose 2 is the same as Zero's on the Japanese UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn boxart of ''[=X4=]'', and Pose 3 is the same pose that X makes on the boxart of ''[=X6=]''. What's more is that X can replicate the pose he originated using the Standard Saber and Zero as well with the same weapon.

* {{Retraux}}: The sound effects for Roll, Proto Man, First, Second, and Third Armor X all use the sound effects of their games of origin. This means that Proto Man uses the charging sound from ''VideoGame/MegaMan4'', both he and Roll use the landing effects from the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] games, and all three Armors use the jumping, landing, and charge effects from the [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]] trilogy. Mega Man's stage exit animation also has him get into his classic NES jump pose.

* ShoutOut: In the teaser for the Wolf Sigma Boss Raid, the footage only showed a brief instance of one of his paws slamming down with the familiar image of the ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' "To Be Continued" arrow. This also acts as a call-back to Capcom's two video games based on ''[=JoJo=]'', ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureHeritageForTheFuture'' and the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 adaptation of ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]''.

* AnAesop:
** A struggle without a goal only leads to stagnation and self-destruction. Take care of yourself, and remember whatever it is you're really fighting for -- [[ShootTheDog even if it comes at a price you may not want to face]].
** Likewise, [[LivingIsMoreThanSurviving if you know your time is limited in some fashion, it's better to live it up than prolong the inevitable or simply wait for it to run out]].

** Tron Bonne and Roll Casket are Carbons, exceptionally human robots with flesh as part of their components. That said, they still contain robot parts, making them more like cyborgs if not for the fact that their species was artificially created.

* TokenHuman: In the form of Ciel, Aile, Tron Bonne, Roll Caskett, Dr. Light, and the Star Force cast. Aile pushes this since she is a cyborg of sorts. Tron Bonne and Roll Caskett push this further since they are Carbon, which are ArtificialHumans that border on RidiculouslyHumanRobot.

* MultiSlotCharater: The game's roster is filled out with several alternate versions of various ''Mega Man'' characters, some being obscure pulls from the series' history while others are holiday or crossover-themed costumes during limited time events. X and Zero has several variants of themselves based on different games, with Zero also being playable in both his ''Mega Man X'' and ''Mega Man Zero'' periods. The full list of character variants and which character they stemmed from can be found in the playable roster folder above.

* AscendedFanon: Swimsuit Ciel bears an awful resemblance to the fanmade Rockman Ciel.

* MirrorMatch: Barring the potential of facing other players using the same character as you in the [=PvP=] section, it's possible to play as Vile and fight against Vile in the Goliath Ride Armor, as well as having the possibility of having Sigma present in the Raid Boss fight against Wolf Sigma / Phantom Sigma / Final Form Sigma, Zero (Z) present to fight against Omega during the ZX Event, Bit fighting against himself, or even Magma Dragoon in the traditional Street Fighter sense of the word, ala Ryu and Ken. Interestingly enough, there is a bit of DevelopersForesight found in the game's data, which suggests (at the time of writing) that the Goliath version of Vile will have a different skin while fighting as the playable Vile.

** [[FusionDance Bass]] [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork5 Cross]] [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork6 MegaMan]] (S rank)

* TokenHuman: In the form of Ciel, Aile, Tron Bonne, Roll Caskett, and the Star Force cast. Aile pushes this since she is a cyborg of sorts. Tron Bonne and Roll Caskett push this further since they are Carbon, which are ArtificialHumans that border on RidiculouslyHumanRobot.

* GameplayRandomization: If you unlock all the ranks on a weapon, you can then unlock a final hidden skill on that weapon. It's unknown what that skill is, because the result is random though leaning towards something related such as speeding up the damage over time for weapons that cause poison or burning. If you don't like the result, you may reroll though it costs resources.

* SweetTooth: In the 2023 Halloween event, [=RiCO=] says that she still had the "gifts" (candy) from the 2022 event, except iCO found and ate them all.

* TokenHeroicOrc: It turns out [=RiCO=] herself is Irregular Data, and correcting the Deep Log may lead to her own deletion. Eventually, she is [[PromotedToPlayable upgraded into a Hunter]], so that she can continue to aid the player as a proper program.

* JigglePhysics: Several of the bustier female characters have at least one variation or costume to adds some bounce to their chests. Layer in particular wears a skin-tight body suit even in her regular costume, while the rest of the adult-bodied female characters get this when in a swimsuit.

* BraggingRightsReward: In ''Offline'', [[InfinityPlusOneSword Next DiVE Armor X]] is this - you only unlock the ability to buy him ''after'' beating the FinalBoss, when there's not really anything left to use him on. To a lesser extent, certain characters are also only available for the final chapter of the game, most notably [=RiCO=] and iCO's own [=DiVE=] Armors.
