Mega Man 7 is another entry in the world-famous Mega Man franchise that defined the action platformer genre. This iconic game hit the world stage on March 24, 1995, when it was released in Japan. Later that year, English-speaking audiences got to play the game when it was localized for America and Europe.
The legendary gaming titans at Capcom both developed and published the game. Mega Man 7 was another smash hit in the Mega Man series. Although it wasn’t as well received as its predecessor Mega Man X, fans and critics still enjoyed it. Mega Man 7 is certainly one of the standout games in the Mega Man series.
Mega Man 7 Premise
This game takes place just six months after the events of Mega Man 6. Mega Man’s arch nemesis Dr. Wily has been defeated and is now behind bars. Unfortunately, things never stay peaceful for our hero, Mega Man. A new set of Robot Masters created by Dr. Wily, have attacked the city and freed their creator from prison. It’s now up to Mega Man to once again defeat the Robot Masters and defeat Dr. Wily once and for all.
Mega Man 7 Characters
Like in almost every game in the series, players take on the role of the titular hero, Mega Man. Our famous blue protagonist is a courageous robot created by the good scientist Dr. Light. Mega Man’s one true purpose is to protect humanity and defeat the evil Dr. Wily.
This time around, Mega Man doesn’t have to face Dr. Wily alone. In Mega Man 7, a new robotic hero has stepped onto the scene. A black and gold robot named Bass and his robotic wolf named Treble have also joined the fight against Dr. Wily. Bass has his own unique abilities and is playable in the game’s two-player mode.
There are eight different Robot Master boss battles in this game. Here is a list of all of them:
- Freeze Man
- Junk Man
- Burst Man
- Cloud Man
- Spring Man
- Slash Man
- Shade Man
- Turbo Man
