However, the game also differs from the original series by being a Metroidvania-styled game (similar to Mega Man ZX) where X and Zero can level up and earn skill points to power up their attacks and weapons. The game uses the retro 16-bit graphics and SNES-like music of the Mega Man X series.

The project has been in development since the late 2000s, and production is still going strong.

It was formerly being made in Flash Develop, but later moved to HTML5. Mega Man X: Corrupted is an upcoming Mega Man X fan-game being developed by John K.
