Play Megaman Battle Network 5 - Team Protoman (u)(trashman) Online

Megaman Battle Network 5: Team Protoman was a 2005 Game Boy Advance title from Capcom, arriving late in the handheld's life when developers had fully mastered its capabilities. It was the second version of the fifth game in the series, offering a parallel story to Team Colonel with a different set of allies.

You control Lan Hikari in the real world, navigating towns and the internet in a screen by screen fashion, while his NetNavi, MegaMan, handles the cyber battles. The main objective is to stop an organization called Nebula from taking over the net, which involves liberating oppressed areas in a strategic overworld map. Signature mechanics include the Liberation Missions, where you command a small squad of Navis in turn based strategy segments against occupying forces, and the real time battle system that mixes deck building with action; you select Battle Chips from a custom folder to attack, dodge, and counter in a grid based arena. The pacing shifts abruptly between exploration and these intense, tactical missions, which can be quite difficult. It feels like managing two distinct games at once, constantly switching your mindset between a quiet adventure and a demanding puzzle fight.
