Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 combines both X Legacy Collection volumes into one package, covering a wide span of the series' story about the reploid hero X fighting rogue mavericks. It preserves the fast platforming and wall-jump mechanics that define the sub-series.

Players work through numerous stages, collect armor upgrades, and battle a rotating cast of Maverick bosses across the combined collection. It's built as a comprehensive way to experience the X series' extended run.
