Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch Released in Full

If CutmanMike and his team had quit after releasing the Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch demo, he’d get no complaints from me. Even with limited characters and maps, the game was good enough. But now, the full version of Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch is available for download, and it’s free. The game, which pits Mega Man heroes and enemies against each other in 3D battle arenas, is a mod of Doom, but you don’t need a copy of id’s classic shooter to play. Just download the 55 MB zip file and you’re good to go.

In its final edition, the Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch has more than 50 weapons, which you can read about here, plus powerups like the Rush Jet and the Beat Call. And it goes beyond basic deathmatch to include team deathmatch, last man standing, possession, capture the flag and more. A single-player campaign is based on each game in the Mega Man series.

You can read my impressions of the demo here, or check out the trailer below. And yes, CutmanMike is taking donations if you want to help with the bandwidth.
