Mega Man X7, known in Japan as Rockman X7 (ロックマンX7) is the seventh mainline entry in the X era, developed by Capcom and released for the PlayStation 2 in 2003-2004 as the first Mega Man game on the system. A Windows port was later published by Multi Enterprise in Korea only.

Though an action-platformer game like its predecessors, the game made several changes to the formula, such as full 3D platforming gameplay in certain sections and the introduction of new character Axl, who replaces X in the initial roster of playable characters.

Story

In the Reploid world, crime rates are on a dramatic rise. The hard-won peace is shaky at best. The missing leader of the 17th Unit, X, had sworn to fight for world peace. But he struggled with his profound inner opposition to violence, and finally vanished. Since X's disappearance, the weakened Maverick Hunters have been replaced by the Red Alert syndicate.

At this moment, Maverick Hunter Zero is summoned to an emergency crime scene. He arrives to find that Axl, a teenage Reploid, has barely avoided being attacked by a huge Mechaniloid. Young Axl wants to escape Red Alert and join the Maverick Hunters. But he knows a secret that he's determined not to reveal.

Out of no where, Red Alert leader Red shows up and orders Axl to return to his unit. His exact words are: "Our Reploid seems to have contacted you Maverick Hunters by mistake. I'm taking him back." With this single act of tyranny, war erupts. The Maverick Hunters and Red Alert troops head for battle stations... this means war!

Weapons

Axl's Weapons

Axl's default weapon is the Axl Bullets, a handgun that can rapid-fire from long range. He can also use the Copy Shot to steal the DNA of enemies, granting him power-ups or temporary transformations via A-Trans. Defeating Maverick bosses grants him Special Weapons, and in some cases, new firearms with different properties from the Axl Bullets.

Returning from Mega Man X6 is the Reploid Rescue mechanic, with certain reploids giving parts to the player upon their rescue. Rescuing at least 64 reploids is one of the conditions for the player to play as X.
