Mighty No. 9 is a side-scrolling action game developed by Comcept in conjunction with Inti Creates and published by Deep Silver. Released in 2016, it was designed by Keiji Inafune, a former Capcom employee known for his work on the Mega Man series, and is often considered its spiritual successor. The game follows the adventures of a robot named Beck, who has the ability to run, jump, and shoot through levels to defeat other robots affected by a virus. It blends classic elements with new technology and ideas. The title received mixed reviews at launch and was criticized for failing to meet the expectations set by its crowdfunding campaign.
