Comments: Prometeo is a simple vanilla hack, through and through. One thing about it is that it looks absolutely gorgeous, using graphics from other Mega Man games but blending them together artfully. Prometeo doesn't really have any other tricks up its sleeve however. Levels are fun but simple, focused largely on platforming over spikes/pits. Weapons are unchanged, boss AI is unchanged, and outside of Wily 3 there aren't any incredible moments of ingenuity. It's a good pick if you wanna play Mega Man 3 with some pretty new levels, but that's about it.

I played it recently, but there is something to tell.

This hack is a kind of variation of "Different castles" because I remembered for some reason from part 5. I may be wrong, of course.

However, I saw some variation, depending on where we go. There are different ways to pass a particular zone, which is undoubtedly a plus to the hack.

The honest complexity of the hack is nice. It is not overloaded with enemies, it is pleasant to pass these stages.

Music - for the most part - is ported from other versions of Megaman or other CAPCOM games. It's a complicated process, but it sounds like 1 to 1.

This is an unusual approach - which gave rise to another project (hack) of this author, really doing a good job. Try this hack, I RECOMMEND to get ACQUAINTED with this creation.

Though a lot of the tilesets in the game are borrowed from other Mega Man games, there are still visual elements that are brand new and magnificent. Every stage in the hack is designed like a Dr. Wily stage and many of them cross paths with each other. All put together, it's like you're spending the game climbing around one big ninja fortress, like in the Bakumatsu chapter of Live-A-Live; it gives the hack a very unique feel. The music is also taken from other Mega Man games, but the selections are excellent. There are tons of neat surprises for long-time fans of the series, and a great deal of visual intrigue, with a few Easter eggs.
