_MX-151_ is a traditional role-playing game and it is also one of the first
games created in Taiwan. The game starts with creation of a character where
you can edit a set of six skills: strength, battle skill, dexterity, luck,
search and haggle represented as percentage. The secondary skills are related
to weapon proficiency like lasers or grenades.
_MX-151_ is set in a science fiction environment and features turn-based
exploration and combat. The map is viewed from a top-down perspective where
the character is represented as a blinking dot. You can move using the road
and visit different locations, find items, recruit party members, get quests
and so on. The combat is similar to other RPGs where each side trades blows in
turns on a tactical screen, the view here is also top-down. Besides movement
and fighting the character could also stop for a camp and either rest or
scavenge for food which is consumed here by the party. There’s a soundtrack
that features several tunes taken from the classical composers like Beethoven.
