Rockmen R



Rockmen R: Dr. Wily's Counterattack (ロックメン R: Dr.ワイリーの逆襲) is a Japanese Doujin-soft for Windows PC done in 16-bit graphics and released by Capricorn on February of 2009. It is a fan-game based on Mega Man (a.k.a. Rockman in Japan) that stars Rock's sister, Roll, and features a unique cast of Robot Masters as well as a new Robot Master named Piano.

The developers unfortunately met with a cease-and-desis by Capcom, thus making it near-impossible to buy the game.

Rockmen R features examples of:

 * Action Girl: Roll.
 * Dark Action Girl: Piano.
 * Arm Cannon: Roll now has one just like her brother, Rock!
 * Ascended Extra: Roll as the main character.
 * Beam Spam: Laser Man performs this often enough.
 * Boss Dissonance: Puppet Man's stage is a little more difficult then he actually is to beat. Rapid Man has the same problem, his stage is challenging but his actual fight is fairly simple.
 * Bottomless Pit: A number of them through out the game, including Rapid Man stage, Weasel Man's stage, and Wily's Castle Stage 3.
 * Creepy Doll: Puppet Man and his Roll-dolls, not to mention his teddy bear bombs.
 * Eternal Engine: Energy Man's level qualifies for this.
 * Expy: Piano is this to Roll just as Forte is to Rock.
 * Fan Sequel: To Rockman 9.
 * Kill Him Already: Shockingly averted at the end, as Roll decides to do this to Dr. Wily. Until he reminds her of the First Law.
 * Mirror Boss:
 * Musical Assassin: Waltz Man along with his sonic-based Death Waltz.
 * Nintendo Hard: Its a difficult game if your ill-prepared for it.
 * Playing with Fire: Flare Man takes the cake on this one.
 * Recurring Boss: Piano, natch.
 * Recycled Set: Dr. Wily's castle design is entirely identical to the one in Mega Man 5.
 * Shifting Sand Land: Averted to a point with Rapid Man's level, its more like Cliff-Oasis-Gully type area. Justified as his level takes place in Australia's outback.
 * Space Level: Laser Man's level looks like this.
 * Spikes of Doom: Shockingly very few and far in between but still there.
