I'm very happy to see that we got one of these games in the US finally. I'm familiar with about half of the giant robot anime series in the game and I'm now curious about the ones that are new to me. Gameplay mechanics are simple, but some of the combat strategies and leveling up your heroes takes some thought and care. It's about 25% visual novel, 50% strategy game, and 25% watching very pretty combat animations.

As a mecha weeb, I can wholeheartedly say this is a wonderful game to play. If you like tactics games, you might like this too.

There's some secrets in the game if you do things in a particular order or focus on certain heroes. Also if you play with your favorites a lot and ignore other heroes, it's not too hard to rank them up later if you need to.

HIGHLY recommend the premium sound pack if you enjoy mecha series songs. Alternatively, you can search for a fan song pack online and switch them out yourself with MP3s.

I think this is quite possibly the only fighting game that feels fair.
