Komi Games announced Gemini X, a Metroidvania inspired by classic 32-bit run-and-gun platformers like Mega Man X. Players explore a hijacked space colony, fight robot rebels, and see the story change based on boss defeat order. A Steam release is planned for 2028, with a demo coming later.
Komi Games has revealed Gemini X, a Metroidvania that takes clear inspiration from the Mega Man X series. The game is set on Gemini Station, a space colony seized by the rebel faction Heretech, a group of robot freedom fighters. Players control Luke, a security guard who survives an ambush and fights to reclaim the colony.
Unlike many games in the genre, bosses in Gemini X do not stay in fixed rooms. They patrol the station, sometimes encountering each other while carrying out missions. The story shifts depending on the order in which players defeat bosses, and the remaining bosses react to those changes. Players can also push bosses into a full-power mode by taking the right actions during encounters.
Gemini X is planned for a 2028 release on Steam. A demo is in the works but not yet available. The developer stated they want to meet the expectations of Mega Man X fans.
