Mega Man X5, known in Japan as Rockman X5 (ロックマンX5, Rokkuman X5) is the fifth entry in the main X series, developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation in 2000-2001, and later ported to Windows in some regions.
Story
Back from his death in the previous game, Sigma causes a huge explosion that spreads the Sigma Virus across the globe. To make matters worse, the giant space colony Eurasia begins to fall to the Earth. In response to the emergency, Hunter Base fights through mass panic to execute the Enigma and Space Shuttle operations to destroy Eurasia. However, this situation threatens to awaken the true Zero that X never knew: a fearsome Zero who burns with hostility towards him.[1]
Characters
Name | Image | Description |
---|---|---|
X | X is a Reploid who leads the 17th Unit of the Maverick Hunters. Although as a Hunter he is ranked B-Class because he dislikes combat, he actually has ferocious fighting ability.[2] | |
Zero | Zero is the leader of the Special 0 Unit and an SA-Class Maverick Hunter. He is always cool-headed and accomplishes his mission without slightest hesitation.[2] | |
Signas | When the previous general of the Hunters resigned to take responsibility for the Repliforce war, Signas was selected for the general's post. Although his fighting abilities are not well-developed, he has the most precise CPU of all existing Reploids.[2] | |
Alia | Alia started out as a researcher in Reploid engineering. She has mastered all programming languages and has extensive technical knowledge. She has been chosen as a navigator for the Hunters.[2] | |
Douglas | Douglas is a mechanic who makes and maintains everything for Hunters, from weapons and vehicles to facilities. He makes Power-Up Parts for X and Zero.[2] | |
Lifesaver | Lifesaver supports the Hunters by doing maintenance on them and developing virus vaccines. He is suspicious of Zero's virus reaction.[2] | |
Dynamo | Dynamo is a mercenary hired by an unknown agent. Though he is a troublemaker, his skills are higher than an SA-Class Hunter. He pesters X and Zero to disrupt their mission.[2] | |
Sigma | Having returned once again, Sigma is the source of both the Eurasia and Sigma Virus disasters. He appears to be pushing X and Zero to their absolute limits in an attempt to finally break them. | |
Dr. Light | The creator of X, who has left Light Capsules to deliver Armor Parts to him, years after his own passing. |
