Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch is a new multiplayer game (Skulltag-powered mod) that aims to take Mega Man’s 8-bit style gameplay and turn it into an online multiplayer first person shooter. Everything you know and love from the classic series will appear in lovely 3d with 8-bit textures and sprites. You will be able to pick from any of your favourite Robot Masters from Mega Man 1 through 6, as well as find and use their weapons scattered around levels. With it’s intense battles, unique style, various game modes and huge amount of weapons and levels, MM8BDM is sure to please Mega Man and old school FPS fans alike. This is no fancy art project!
The game can be played in pretty much any game mode in Skulltag, but will be designed for 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 huge amount of weapons, 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 on launch will include:
* Deathmatch
* Team Deathmatch
* Last Man Standing (Randomly selected weapons)
* Team Last Man Standing
* Possession
* Team Possession
* Capture The Flag
* One Flag CTF
* Terminator
* Duel
* Instagib (All robots fire instant killing Metal Blades)
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.
Installation
Note: As the Mac and Linux builds of Skulltag are currently down, this is currently for windows only. This will change in next update of MM8BDM!
Installation is as simple as the SGC demo version most of you (hopefully) downloaded. You can either overwrite the demo version or set up a new directory for it (recommended). If you’re an avid Skulltag user, PLEASE install it into a new directory as it uses a new beta build of Skulltag.
Installation is simple. Download and extract MM8BDM-v1a.zip. To play, just run MM8BDM.exe and follow the instructions on screen. When the game launches, press Esc to access the menu. From there it should be pretty self explanitary, but if not pop on our help forums and post away. Enjoy!
Note: If your firewall throws a frenzy at MM8BDM.exe, it’s because it attempts to download a banner from a website that keeps you up to date with newer updates etc from the launcher. Kaspersky is also known to recognize skulltag as a trojan. For more info about that, go here.
