Mega Man X DiVE

This is a free-to-play online game originally released only on mobile devices that later received a Steam port. It takes place in the X series and focuses mostly on that series, but it does also include playable characters from the other Mega Man series games as well. The goal of the game seems to be to build up your characters; you can earn new ones by “rolling” on them or sometimes by earning them via various special events.

There is also an “Offline” version which can be purchased as a one-time expense and played without a server. A reader reports that this version allows you to earn characters through in-game mechanisms, including purchasing them with in-game currency and earning them in events that run automatically or are manually activated.

I will probably someday be able to play this, so I am likely to expand upon this page in the future. However, I doubt I’d be able to give an online game extensive coverage since such games change so frequently, so I’ll aim for more of an overview. (The Offline one may be a different story.)
