Mega Man 11 is a 8-bit game. Each stage contains three phases, with the first two consisting of a mini-boss and the last one with a robot master. It can also be played in multiplayer co-op mode with upto four players.

Plot

Sometime in the year 20XX, Dr. Albert W. Willy and English roboticist Dr. Ada L. Byron join together to create 8 more evil robot masters to counter Mega Man and his crew. They both also create Violet (known in Japan as Jazz) who is a robot master deemed more powerful than Bass and also powered by Bassnium, and her robotic parrot Rose (known in Japan as Ska) who assists Violet.

Gameplay

Story

Just like previous Mega Man games, you can select each of 8 stages representing its robot masters, and complete all of each stages in any order. Each stage is divided in three phases. The first two has a mini-boss (called "bots) and the last one has the robot master. In some of the stages, Violet and Rose would appear and fight against the playing character at some point in the game.

After defeating all robot masters, you have to play each 8 levels again in order defeat the 16 Doc Robots-Mark II (2 in each level), an improvement to the original Doc Robots, which copies the abilities of each robot master in Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10, only that it has twice the defense and twice the attack.

After that, you would first fight Violet and Rose again, before entering Maxwell's Fortress. Over there you will fight additional robots, untill you have to fight Dr. Byron and Violet at the same time. After that, Mega Man would head to Willy's Castle to fight Violet and Dr. Willy once more.

If you die during a level, you will start again at the last check point in the stage you are playing in. If you lose all of your lives, you'll return to the select menu again. The Robot Masters defeated and the weapons acquired from them won't go away.

There are three modes of difficulty.

Easy Mode

In easy mode, enemies are more easier to kill, there are less gaps to fall, and the boss AI is less harder. Also, the health and weapons bar reset to full when starting a new stage, and powerups appear very often.

Normal Mode

In normal mode, the enemies are slightly more harder to kill, their are more gaps to fall, and the boss AI is slightly more difficult to defeat. Only the health bar resets to full when starting a new stage, and powerups appear less often.

Hard Mode

In hard mode, the enemies are hard to kill, there are many gaps to fall, and the boss AI is very difficult to defeat. The health and weapons bar doesn't reset when starting a new stage and you keep the same level of health and weapon ammo as you did previously unless if you die and continue the game.

VS

In multiplayer-only versus mode, players must race against each other through a special stage with obstacles (which are ramdomly placed differently on each play).

Battle

In multiplayer-only battle mode, players must defear each other (with the Special Weapons they have acquired in story mode) until one survives.

Practice

There is a practice mode, where you have to practice trying to get past obstacles.
