Difficult to a point of annoyanceKevvyLava2022-11-25Version 1.0

Rockman 2 Claw is way too hard to enjoy. It's clearly well-made in the sense that it is glitch-free and well-designed, but I bet hardly anyone will beat any levels whatsoever. I can completely smash Mega Man 1-6 with zero issues and I spent 1.5 hours trying to beat a single level, and while I did get further on certain levels after multiple attempts, it's not rewarding enough to continue. I would recommend that the author create a hack with less difficult enemy placement and less risky jumps (mixed with difficult enemy placement). This is only for the top 0.5% of Mega Man players. Cannot recommend to even the big fans of the series. You will only like this if you actually want brutally difficult hacks.

Rockman Claw 2 - The sequel, that is, this hack...diablo6662022-03-13Version 1.0

Weaker than Rockman 1 Claw.

The music is different - there is; changes in abilities - there are; changes in the behavior of enemies and bosses - there are; graphic changes in levels - there are. Balance? Suffers, but tolerable.

Rockman 2 Claw – bosses and enemies are dishonest in their own way. Enemies – in some stages: Either more than necessary, Or they appear in inconvenient places, or they crush you with a crowd. Is it a shame? In fact, yes. They save the abilities from these problems, which gives the hack a kind of charm. Bosses – in some moments, this is a terrible pain, and in some - really worthy rivals.

The pain is done to me by: Flash Man, Wood Man, Mecha Dragon and "Wily Machine in all phases". With the first - too much speed, then with those two it's even more fun. The dragon is too fast, too aggressive and lets out a lot of fire, which is a problem to dodge. The Wily Machine is a problem squared. The turbo button saves you (or erase your fingers to calluses).

Worthy enemies include: Air Man, Metal Man, Bubble Man, the second boss from Wily's castle, The Alien and Guts Machine. This hack has three options. I used the standard and I will say: "Although I am dishonest at times, I enjoyed passing it. I acted differently than usual, but this is also a plus. Look for all the ways to win. Graphically, it is sometimes worse than a hack, but in its tricks it surprises. I recommend for passing - the original patch, for a sense of adrenaline – use the Wind Version. Weaker, but not bad. It performs its main task.

But with a warning: "The hack is complex, sometimes dishonest. It's up to you to play it, even though I recommend it"

Rockman Claw 2 Wind Version

Now I've tried out this version. You know, it's a few steps better than the original hack, But All The Bosses Are Even More Aggressive And Dangerous.

However, I got more pleasure going through this particular version. Much more difficult, much more dangerous, BUT a real release of adrenaline and the joy of defeating them.

Who brought the pain from the bosses? Wood Man, Flash Man, Metal Man, Quick man, Mecha Dragon, Wily Machine.

  • Flash man - fast, additional attack when taking damage
  • Wood man - A quick, sharp blow with a shield and leaves, a huge jump and a repetition of actions without stopping. To win By shooting Inside the shield, otherwise there is no way
  • Metal man - Interesting, but a bit of a pain after it. Sharp attacks and various jumps with a sharp attack
  • Mecha Dragon - It shoots fire without stopping. Only a turbo shot with blades and "luck" will save you
  • Wily Machine - Without a turbo shot and "turbo blades" - it is difficult

The other bosses - either in this version - are more honest or more interesting.

Level Design and enemies on the levels have become more dangerous, more cunning, more unpredictable. But, God, I - I liked it.

I liked this version more than the original. And this is really a paradox. I thought the "Wind version" would be worse, but no! It really took a couple of steps forward, becoming at the "above average" level.

I recommend this version, but I warn you: "It is complicated, so it may not suit you."

There is nothing to say about the "Wind - Boss Rush version". For this is just a piece of the "Wind version".

P.S. Not a perfect part, but playable

Rockman Claw 2 - EXCELLENTDobu_GM2019-04-29Version 1.0

Rockman 2 Claw

Levels: Excellent

Graphics: Good

Music: Good

Enemies: Excellent

Bosses: Excellent

Weapons: Excellent

Castle:Excellent

Difficulty: MEDIUM

Comments: An extremely well-balanced hack. Not too difficult but definitely not a pushover, and it has a lot of solid enemy/boss/weapon changes while keeping everything still familiar and useful. It has a very authentic Mega Man feel to it, though that might be because of the Mega Man 9 & 10 tunes. The changes to the weapons are fantastic, and the Wily stages are a logical escalation of the game's difficulty. One of the best MM2 hacks out there, bar none. The only thing it really needs is just a stronger thematic consistency between the stages, like Gray Zone.

Really good hackmikeH2017-02-08Version 1.0

This is a really good Rockman 2 hack. The changes are music, graphics, levels, gameplay, weapons, enemies, and bosses.

Most Rockman 2 hacks seems to be pretty hard, and this one is pretty hard too, but really fun! But be careful, the levels are pretty tough and will require some Rockman skills to get through.

I have played other Rockman 2 hacks and this one is definitely one of the best. It seems many other hacks are unpolished or too hard. This one feels complete and plays really nicely. Really nice level design.

The music and graphics are also really well done. Give this one a try!

A full mm2 hack with lots of fun challegingsTimaeus2015-12-30Version 1.0

Don't let the hack description fool you, the hack have A LOT MORE TO SHOW.

Basically every single pixel of the game is changed: music, graphics, weapon colours, enemy colours, bosses colours, enemy distribution, new weapons, new level design and gameplay.

The level design is pretty well done and creative in very different ways, WITHOUT BORING UTILITIES SECTIONS. But the levels were made more to expert players. Novice players will see your death every time they try. The challenge is very fun, because the difficult came from the very well done attack patterns and clean enemies placements. Every stage have their own fun challenge, making the game´s difficult different between them.

It also allows you to DESTROY CHAINS, AIR TIKKIS and AIR MAN TORNADOS WITH THE BUSTER, making the game way more enjoyable.

The musics are awesome, the weapons are very well done, the graphics are beautiful, all unique in a fun and expensive hack that you must try.
