Super Robot Wars Y Reviews
Overall, Super Robot Wars Y is another solid entry into the series. It’s got a great lineup and a more careful eye placed on making the game more enticing for newer players. While I am always happy to see Aura Battler Dunbine featured, I do feel that this game includes a mecha anime for almost everyone.
The protagonist-centered narrative and wide array of character crossovers give Super Robot Wars a stronger sense of identity, elevating its trademark storytelling to new heights. The difficulty has been fine-tuned, moving away from luck-based swings and instead rewarding players who approach each battle with careful strategy. Animation work shows clear improvements, though the uneven quality across different units still keeps the presentation from feeling fully polished. Meanwhile, quality-of-life features lag behind, leaving room for future updates to better match modern standards.

Super Robot Wars Y isn’t for everyone, but fans of mecha know exactly what they’re getting: a nostalgic blast of flashy battles, fanservice, and iconic giant robots. Despite some technical hiccups and a slow-starting story, it delivers hours of strategy, customization, and pure mecha fun. The steep content price and lack of Italian localization are drawbacks, but for those who grew up dreaming of piloting Mazinger or Gundam, this game feels like coming home.

Even if the gameplay of Super Robot Wars Y merely follows in the footsteps of the franchise's past successes, it still provides a fantastic SRPG experience that any fan of mecha, whether they be hardcore or casual, can find enjoyment in. It's always great to see that the franchise is continuing to experiment with its visuals, roster and how the story is told. One can only hope that the future of the franchise continues down this path.
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 the latest entry in the series and once again succeeds in satisfying its players. Its engaging gameplay and story, along with the variety of series and characters featured, stand out as major strengths. However, issues such as a clunky user interface and the repeated use of animations detract from the overall experience. While the game might feel a bit confusing for newcomers to the franchise, it still remains a solid choice for fans of the mecha genre.

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 offers an enjoyable tactical role-playing game that holds the value of mecha history while progressively advancing the franchise, regardless of whether you’ve been a fan for a long time or are just starting out.
Super Robot Wars Y offers an accessible entry point with worldwide availability across PC and consoles, eliminating the frustrations of imports. For veterans, it provides a thoughtful evolution, if not imperfect, that suggests the series is finally embracing its global future
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.
