Dependent on Mega Man universe
It is important to know the events that unfolded before Mega Man Zero and Mega Man ZX.

After a few hundred years in slumber, Zero must discover what must become of him. You must unfold Zero’s destiny in this fast-paced and rich story. You will venture farther into the future in Mega Man ZX. The adventure begins when youngling encounters a biometal. What follows is an epic tale of missions and discovery.
Flexible gameplay features
Several new features have been included to cap off the collection. The game presents two additions to the gameplay, beginning with the Save-Assist feature. This addition puts extra checkpoints that serve as save states along stages. The checkpoints will come in handy when you need to practice or retry difficult sections and bosses. Essentially, it saves at any given time or in any part of the stage.
Another noteworthy addition is the Z Chaser mode. This mode will have a difficulty level setting ranking from easiest to hardest. Each difficulty can come in three special modes: single chaser, double chaser, and world record chaser. Regardless of which mode you or the players choose, all players must finish twelve challenges in total. This equals to two rounds each game.
Enjoyable for loyal and new fans
Mega Man Zero/ZX is a monumental addition to the Mega Man Legacy Collection. Besides the gameplay being considerate to all user levels, new additions have been added to enhance the gameplay. The illustration gallery and music player caters more to fans than newcomers as it uses the same style as the Mega Man X Legacy Collection Titles. This marks Zero/ZX as the second Zero series title to include an art gallery as an extra. Overall, this collection will satisfy fans as there are many references to past titles. At the same time, beginners can enjoy the over-the-top gameplay and sci-fi themes as both the story and controls are easy-to-follow.
