_________________________________________________________________________________________
Taking place in the 22nd century, the Mega Man X series is set in a society populated by
humans and intelligent robots called "Reploids". A military taskforce called the
"Maverick Hunters" is implemented to suppress the uprising of "Mavericks", Reploids that
begin to exhibit dangerous and destructive behavior. Mega Man X4 follows two such hunters,
Mega Man X and Zero, as they become involved in a conflict between the Hunters and a Reploid army called the
"Repliforce". Mega Man X4 is an action-platform game in the same vein as other installments in the series.
The player completes a set of eight stages in any order while fighting enemies, gaining power-ups, and winning
the special weapon of each stage's boss. Unlike previous games in the series, Mega Man X4 allows the player to
choose between the two protagonists at the beginning of the game: X, who uses traditional, long-range attacks;
or Zero, who wields a short-range sword.
Critical reception for Mega Man X4 has been generally positive. Critics praised the ability to play as either
X or Zero, a concept many found to expand upon the then perceived exhausted gameplay formula of the Mega Man X
sub-franchise during the 1990s. However, it was criticized for its lack of innovation.
In addition to its console versions, the game was released on Windows worldwide in 1998
