Mega Man ZX Advent, known as Rockman ZX Advent (ロックマンゼクスアドベント) in Japan, is the second entry in the ZX era, developed by Inti Creates and published by Capcom. The game was first released on the Nintendo DS in Japan in July 2007, then October of the same year in North America and finally February 2008 in Europe.

The game was later re-released as part of the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection on multiple systems, in February 2020.

Story

A new era of history had begun, and several centuries had passed since the war. Old ruins from the previous age were scattered across the globe and became homes to the feral machines known as Mavericks. However, these dangerous areas were also the final resting places of many powerful lost technologies created as a result of the many years of conflict. One entrepreneur took advantage of this buried treasure of cutting-edge technology and used it as a base for forming one of the world's leading corporations. Soon after, people with dreams of getting rich quick, the Hunters, formed the Hunter's Guild to seek out the wealth lying within the ruins.

The temptation of this technological windfall was too much for some, who refused to join the guild and instead sought the hidden riches all for themselves. These people were called Raiders. In the great Tech Rush, everyone seemed to forget that this buried technology was designed for only one purpose: war![1]

Bosses

There are generally two types of boss characters: Pseudoroids and Mega Men. The player can mimic the forms of these 13 bosses after defeating them, using Model A's A-Trans ability. The other bosses are exceptions: Dogu the Giant is a Maverick fought before the protagonist has Model A, Prometheus and Pandora have their DNA data taken by Albert before Model A can copy it, and Albert is the final boss of the game.
