TEPPEN (stylized as TEPPƎN) is a freemium card game developed by GungHo Online Entertainment released for iOS and Android devices in July 2019, featuring characters from several Capcom franchises; initially only the Mega Man X series was included, though later updates introduced other members of the Mega Man franchise. The game's service will end on March 2026, but an offline version with some of the game's features will be available for one month after shutdown.[1]
Story[]
In TEPPEN, Capcom characters are reimagined in a fantastical post-apocalyptic world with dramatic backstories leading them to seek out the place called the Land of Illusion. Collecting and piecing together lore from cards and artwork reveals more of the story.
The machines from the Mega Man X series, as well as a few technologies that originated in Dino Crisis and Cannon Spike, were created by an ancient civilization that is long gone, destroyed by a great war between robot armies that continues long into the future. Some time after the end of the civilization, some of their remains, including a variety of Mechaniloids and the Third Energy, were used by Goddess Myria for her purposes in the Land of Illusion. After a long slumber, several robots began to reactive in the present time, including X. With his civilization gone, X is persuaded to travel to the Land of Illusion to find answers to his mysterious forgotten past.[2] Zero also appears as a wandering amnesiac but continues on as a heroic figure along his own search for the truth, joining X.[3] After Myria's defeat, Sigma's forces retrieved and restored the ancient technologies present on the Land of Illusion for a large scale attack against humanity. With Sigma's defeat, the Third Energy went out of control and his fortress ended in a different place in space-time.
The characters from the Mega Man Battle Network series are descendants from members of the ancient civilization that had moved to space and developed their own Cyberworld-based technology in Den City. When introduced in the set 30_MINUTES.EXE, after Shadaloo obtained their technology, M. Bison decided to set Den City to explode in 30 minutes and announce his plan to the public in order to cause panic. Their fear greatly increased the power of his Psycho Power, allowing him to manisfest in the Cyberworld like a giant virus.[4] Due to the urgency, RiCO summoned Ryu to the Cyberworld to help stop Shadaloo, and he teams up with MegaMan.EXE and Lan to save Den City.
The Mega Man Zero series takes place in E.D.N. III, a planet in a different dimension, where the remains of Sigma's fortress crashed. It has a hostile environment, energy scarcity, and is primarily ruled by Neo Arcadia, NEVEC, and Mundus. The former was taken over by Dr. Weil after Copy X MK. II's defeat, while the latter two started fighting each other for dominance over organized crime. The Resistance is one of the few forces fighting against them.

Besides normal skins, the game has EX Skins that completely change the appearance of a hero without changing their gameplay, including their name and animations, or even change them into a different character. Skins obtained in the online version can be transfered to the offline version, but new skins cannot be obtained in the offline version.
