This retro styled first person shooter is designed to bring the look and feel of the 8-bit Mega Man games to Doom's frantic arena shooter gameplay.

If you’re a fan of online first person shooters or Mega Man, you simply have no excuse to not download and give Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch a try today!

The game can be played in pretty much any game mode included in Zandronum, but is primarily designed around Deathmatch. To keep the gameplay balanced and simple, you will have to find weapons scattered around the map and pick them up like in standard Doom fashion. Along with the wide selection of familiar weaponry, there are special inventory items which can be used at any time, such as the Rush Coil and E-Tank. The aim of the game is to destroy the enemy players and earn the most kills, known more commonly as “frags”.

Supported gameplay modes include:

Team Deathmatch

Last Man Standing (Randomly selected weapons)

The game also has a single player campaign that is split into chapters, based on each Mega Man game. Each chapter takes you through all the standard maps with a predefined bot set up and boss battles. Between chapters you return to Dr. Light’s lab, where you can practice with weapons etc.
