A new Mega Man X campaign with its own stages, bosses, and secrets.
Mega Man X Regenesis imagines the worst possible outcome for X: Sigma won,
X fell, and Dr. Cain begins Project Regenesis. It is a free, fan-made action
platformer built in the spirit of the SNES X games, but this is a fresh campaign
with eight new Mavericks, new stages, Special Weapons, armor upgrades, secrets,
and more than 25 original tracks.
If you like the fast, slightly fussy rhythm of classic Mega Man X, you will feel
at home quickly. Dash across gaps, cling to walls, learn how each room wants to
be crossed, and save the nasty optional routes for later. The game expects you
to get sharper as you go; there is no shame in leaving a secret behind and
coming back with better movement and a clearer route in mind.
Start with the newest 1.00.92 package and spend a minute with the controls before treating
the opening stage like a speedrun. X can dash immediately. Check your controller
layout, then test dash, wall jumps, and charged shots in a safe room. If double
tap feels more natural than using a button, turn on the optional double-tap dash
setting. The regular Ride Armor can use it too.
The first clear is about reading the room. When you hit a drop you cannot see,
take a short look, then make a measured attempt instead of holding forward and
hoping. Several stages hide upgrades, Heart Tanks, Sub Tanks, and alternate
routes. Keep moving through the main path when a secret starts eating attempts;
you can return after you know the stage and have more confidence with the jumps.
Every Maverick you defeat adds a weapon to the toolkit, so a wall does not always
need a cleaner jump. The 1.00.8 update adds move-dependent weakness stuns for
some Bosses. Earlier
combat reworks also changed boss health, boss damage, and every player shot, so
treat old damage charts as history, not a current route plan.
Beating every level and collecting every item is 100% completion in the current
build. A zero-death run can also skip Hadouken’s three-platform requirement,
but the detailed collection route is still being checked stage by stage.
When a route feels impossible, ask two questions: have you missed an upgrade,
and have you tried the weapon you just earned? Regenesis rewards both careful
platforming and the old Mega Man habit of experimenting.

Choose your platform, then jump in.
Start with the 1.00.92 package. Check the current entry first; if a video or tip feels different from your game, check the version history before forcing the route.
VERSION HISTORY
Version 1.00.92 is the current official download line. The creator recommends resetting save files from previous versions; copy a working save first if you need a recovery point.
Version 1.00.91 is retained as recent context because it changed display options and speedrunning flow.
Version 1.00.9 added a secret encounter and changed options, saves, and a few stage routes. Treat older videos as historical unless their version is stated.
This update remains useful context for mobile controls, language settings, and compatibility when a video or guide predates the current 1.00.92 download line.
Version 1.00.6 made movement more forgiving and changed several completion and late-game checks. Read it when an older route does not match your current game.
This update fixed result screens and reworked boss combat. It remains useful context when an older video or route no longer behaves the same way.
This patch adjusted a blind jump in Fortress 1 and locks difficulty when a new save begins, so an older video may not match every route.
This patch changed several combat and movement details that appear in early gameplay videos.
The first post-launch patch focused on getting the controls and a few rough edges into better shape.
Choose Windows, macOS, Android, or Linux to continue.
Get comfortable with movement before the hard rooms.
X can dash from the opening stage. Check your chosen controller layout before assuming the move arrives later.
Version 1.00.2 added a double-tap dash option alongside trigger support. Review settings before a difficult platform section.
The current downloads use the 1.00.92 package name. It adds Fortress and Fire-stage fixes, touch-control reposition buttons, and further performance improvements.
1.00.92 // START SAFELY
Two small checks before you continue an older run.
The creator highly recommends resetting saves from earlier versions before moving to 1.00.92. Copy a working save first so you retain a recovery point.
Install the 1.00.82 APK, then open Options. Touch controls now include a transparency control and top-screen on/off toggle; their inputs can still be remapped.
Learn the route before forcing the jump.
Take blind drops and new routes slowly at first. Version 1.00.3 improves several such sections, but not every older video shows the current layout.
Hidden routes and hard platforming can wait until your movement options and route knowledge are stronger.
Armor, chips, Heart Tanks, Sub Tanks, secrets, and achievements all reward revisits. A simple stage checklist helps when you return later.
SCREENSHOTS FROM MEGA MAN X REGENESIS
A few quick things to try before a difficult section turns into a wall.
Install the 1.00.92 APK first. Options include touch transparency, a top-screen on/off toggle, and touch-control reposition buttons; if it still will not start, keep your device model and Android version handy for a useful report.
Recent player reports mention Android rotation and controller trouble, Windows launch failures, and late-Fortress lockups. These are player reports, not confirmed fixes, so keep a save copy and report the exact stage and platform if you hit one.
The creator highly recommends resetting saves from older versions before moving to 1.00.92. Copy a working save first so you retain a recovery point.
The latest patch fixes the Intro and Fortress results menus. Finish the clear normally if you want its level-complete state to save; choosing Retry does not save that result.
Build your route as you go.
BOSS GUIDE READY
Pick a Boss you can clear cleanly, then let the next weapon open your route. The full guide keeps the two weapon cycles, Buster-first advice, and every Maverick in one place.
See the eight Bosses, their weapon paths, and the Buster habits that keep a first clear under control.
OPEN BOSS GUIDEA Charged Buster clear is still the right answer when a new weapon feels awkward or the arena is putting you under pressure.
Leave the stubborn secrets for later.
COLLECTION GUIDE READY
Keep your chips, armor, Heart Tanks, Sub Tanks, and blocked paths on one return-trip checklist. Start with the pickup you can reach now, then come back when a new move opens the room.
Use the stage-by-stage collection guide to turn one missed item into a focused return trip instead of another blind replay.
OPEN COLLECTION GUIDEGet your chips and route notes in order first, then follow a dedicated Hadouken path without throwing away a good clear.
OPEN HADOUKEN GUIDERead the results first. Chase the letter later.
Achievement and rank notes are in progress
Version 1.00.6 added translation support for results menus and refined completion percentage. The full achievement list and S Rank conditions are still being checked on 1.00.82, so this guide will not guess at score targets.
Let a cleared stage reach its results screen, then keep a note of the time, score, and anything you want to improve on the next run.
Mark the stages you have cleared, the collectibles left behind, and any achievement that did not trigger. It makes a later cleanup run far less messy.
