History VideoGame / MegaManXCorrupted

* PsychoElectro: Sparkling Scorpio doesn't start out as one, but [[TragicMonster becomes one]] thanks to the power plant's energy surge frying his AI circuits.

* HairTriggerExplosive: Warfare Milodon's weapons factory stage has quite a number of them. The bombs go off if anything touches or goes near them, the missiles launch if anything hits them

* ReflectingLaser: The Plasma Bounce, which fires out shots that reflect off walls.

* SpreadShot: Homing Missiles can be charged up and shot out in a spread of seven. The Plasma Bouncer's regular shot is a dual diagonal shot, while the charged version shoots a spray burst in many directions. The Hydra Armor's buster piece affects the spread and amount of bullets with its charge level rather than the power and size of the bullets.

* InvulnerableAttack: Warfare Milodon is invulnerable to damage when he's using his missile rain attack.

* HomingProjectile: The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Homing Missiles]], obtained from Warfare Milodon.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Plasma Puffer. He has a rather goofy design, his pre-battle animation has him hiding in a pipe, jump out, then almost trip and fall over backwards, and his reason for turning Maverick is because he hates his job at his current, temporary station. Despite all this, he's still a boss battle and a particularly tricky one that spams projectiles at that, while also causing a [[PoisonMushroom rather inconvenient effect]] should he manage to carry out his plans.

* DownerBeginning: In X's intro stage, the carrier airship that X and the Maverick Hunters are on (as well as an imprisoned Warfare Milodon and Hurricane Hoatzin) is attacked by Mavericks, and despite X's best efforts, Strike manages to destroy it.

* MacrossMissileMassacre: Warfare Milodon has two forms; one of them is a slew of homing missiles, the other is a rain of incendiary missiles.

* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: C Class Hunter, B Class Hunter, A Class Hunter, S Class Hunter, and Σ Class Hunter.

-->'''Strike''': What matters is you're here, and I can finally play with you.
-->'''X''': Is this a game to you?
-->'''Strike''': What's the matter? Afraid you'll lose?

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Warfare Milodon (a Megatherium, aka Giant Ground Sloth), Plasma Puffer (Puffer fish), Hurricane [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoatzin Hoatzin]] and Crystal Rafflar (Rafflesia).

* JustToyingWithThem: Strike's dialogue in X's first encounter with him him states that he's simply playing around with X. After he loses half his health (or if he damages X enough), he simply quits the fight and performs a new attack that he didn't use in the battle in order to destroy the airship's last engine, implying that he was holding back.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Plasma Puffer. His pre-battle animation has him hiding in a pipe, jump out, and almost fall over backwards. His reason for turning Maverick is because he hates his job at his current, temporary station. Despite all this, he's still a boss battle and a particularly tricky one that spams projectiles at that.

* DesperationAttack: Every boss has one, and the player will know when they use it when the screen darkens a bit:

** Crystal Rafflar begins using two crystal waves in a row, and will cover the walls in gemstone, shrinking the playing field. And in S dificulty it also reflects the attack, making it way more dangerous.

* ShoutOut: One of Zero's Skills is Genei Jin (''Illusion Shadow Army''). It functions similar to [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Yun's Super Art of the same name.]]

* TragicMonster: Sparkling Scorpio appears to be a decent guy until the power surge in the power plant fries his AI, causing him to attack you.

The game's story takes place in an AlternativeContinuity after ''VideoGame/MegaManX5'', where X and Zero are forced to fight a dangerous new Maverick called Strike who hijacks X's [[PoweredArmor Ultimate Armor]] and threatens to bring the world into ruin again. Along the way they must fight the usual eight Maverick bosses, and they also gain a new ally in the form of series newcomer Synthia.

* {{Expy}}: The new character Synthia is one for Axl, being a Reploid with black armor, a ponytail, and a multi-directional rapid-fire handgun. This is due to the fact that the story is set in an AlternativeContinuity post-''X5'', and thus Axl isn't around (or just hasn't met the Maverick Hunters yet).

* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: E Class Hunter, C Class Hunter, B Class Hunter, A Class Hunter, and S Class Hunter.

''Mega Man X: Corrupted'' is an upcoming ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' fan-game being developed by John K. Bacchus (a.k.a. JKB Games). It was formerly being made in Flash Develop, but later moved to [=HTML5=]. The project has been in development since the late 2000s, and production is still going strong. The game uses the [[{{Retraux}} retro 16-bit graphics and SNES-like music]] of the ''Mega Man X'' series. However, the game also differs from the original series by being a {{Metroidvania}}-styled game (similar to the ''VideoGame/MegaManZX'' series) where X and Zero can level-up and earn skill points to power up their attacks and weapons.
