Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Earns Positive Early PS5 Review

Early coverage points to a careful DS-to-console upgrade with flexible play options and strong archival extras.

Overview

  • PlayStation LifeStyle’s PS5 review scores the collection 8 out of 10 and calls it an easy pick for Mega Man fans.
  • The collection brings the Nintendo DS trilogy to PlayStation for the first time, packing seven versions that include Leo, Pegasus, Dragon and paired releases for 2 and 3.
  • Combat plays like an action RPG that rewards timing and smart shield use rather than the grid tactics seen in Battle Network.
  • The port maps the DS’s two screens to a trigger that swaps views, which makes the jump to modern hardware feel natural.
  • Players get robust options and extras, with sliders for damage, zenny, healing, speed and encounter rates plus galleries of art, design docs, soundtracks and card art.
