They're also fairly small targets and their missiles can block your own shots, not to mention that they need more than one hit from an uncharged X-Buster in order to be destroyed, which is always too much for what should be a simple Airborne Mook. Because they spawn by coming from up above, it's possible to have multiple of them coming one after the other even if you don't leave the screen (because their spawning point is always offscreen, yet their behavior is to descend onscreen so they can attack you). In particular, the Helit (propeller, missile-launching robot) is the worst offender.This can lead to stupid situations where you destroy an enemy and then climb through a passage above them, only to fall down on the revived enemy due to a mistake most likely caused by a fight with a second enemy (and if you managed to kill said second enemy before falling, you'll most likely have to kill it again due to the offscreen spawning). Goddamned Bats: Every single enemy, no thanks to even basic Maverick robots being able to tank loads of damage coupled with ridiculous spawning mechanics where they instantly come back as long as you so much slightly leave the screen they are found.
Megaman x3 heart tanks upgrade#
Mitigated somewhat by the fact that acquiring either of them makes the Maverick stages somewhat harder, with the former precluding you from getting any of the other upgrade chips, and the latter both requiring you to face off against Vile and use Zero more sparingly, to avoid getting him killed and thereby leaving the Z-Saber inaccessible.

Demonic Spiders: The aptly-named Wall Cancers, whose fully-charged attacks can kill an upgrade-less X with just two hits, and even take out Zero or a fully-upgraded X with four hits.

While some quality of life improvements were implemented and playing as Zero is a plus, some were either turned away by its Surprise Difficulty, the decrease in animation/graphical quality or it being too similar to the first two games. Contested Sequel: Much like the previous game in the X series, people can't seem to agree whether this game lives up to the expectations of X1.
