Super Robot Wars Y Reviews
Mecha fans are eating good lately, and I hope SRW’s North American console debut is the first step of a new normal. In the meantime, I have to look up SSSS.Dynazenon and see what that crew of weirdos is all about. Walking away with a nugget of something new to look into and discover is the final piece of the SRW puzzle, and a crucial part of the magic.
Super Robot Wars Y is the latest in the long-running grid-based series of tactics games
Super Robot Wars Y is an excellent crossover and an exceptional Strategy RPG, with fun gameplay and a story that not only makes good use of its characters and franchises, but delivers something consistent and very entertaining.

Super Robot Wars Y is a darn fun entry in the franchise, and it tries very hard to bridge the gap between the Super Robot Wars 30 style and the style of older games. It isn't perfect, with a tad too many stages and the poor utilization of some series, but if you're a fan of Super Robot Wars, there's a whole lot to like, and in the long run, it's probably an even better introduction to the franchise than Super Robot Wars 30. If you like cool giant robots and insane fan fiction plots, there's nowhere better to turn than Super Robot Wars Y.
Super Robot Wars Y is a crossover that works more often than it doesn’t. It thrives less on its tactical RPG mechanics and more on the joy of watching decades of mecha anime crash together in one giant spectacle. The story is good if a little dry in its delivery, but the crossover event and battle animations more than make up for it. For every stretch of jargon-filled dialogue I zoned out to, there was an explosive robot finisher waiting to pull me right back in. It’s a little uneven, but it never stopped being fun.
Super Robot Wars Y is a grand celebration of the mecha genre, and despite some minor pacing issues in its story and the lack of voice acting in dialogues, it stands as the ultimate crossover between these beloved franchises, making it highly recommended for fans of Gundam and other acclaimed series featured in the franchise.
