    Goldrake Attacco!

    Hello Guys,

    I don’t know if I am at the right place here but we found something in my parents house.

    Anyone knows what this is or can link me into the subreddit where it belongs to?

    Thanks a lot

    My Poor Escaflowne

    One of my favorite anime series (you should see it) and it's only in one game. Compact 3 for the Wonderswan Color, untranslated, unloved.

    Anyone else have a franchise they really love but is only in one or two games, esp ones that are hard to find/play?

    I just ended Shin Mazinger Shougeki Z-Hen, where I should go now?

    I just finished watching Shin Mazinger Shougeki Z-Hen as my first full anime of the franchise (I know it's not the most recommended) and I would really like to know what you think I should watch/read Next up to fill and complement this Shin Mazinger shaped hole in my heart, some that caught my eye were Mazinkaiser, Grendizer U and the Zero manga but I don't know which one is the best for me situation

    The foreshadowing!

    In SRW OG2, after obtaining Dai-Zengar, Ryusei said to rename the SRX to Dai-Ryusei (followed by Dai-Rai and then Dai-Aya), and then mentioned Dai-Rai-Oh which was kind of a cool foreshadowing on Touma's mech 😂 I googled and realise the OG2 on the PS2 comes after Alpha 3 so I presume the GBA version didn't have this little easter egg 😂 #prayingfornextSRWOG

    Your Top 5 MUST HAVE series in any SRW games?

    Here's mine:

    1. Getter Robo - "red devil with wings holding a large axe".
    2. Gurren Lagann - very definition of "ultimate super robot titan".
    3. Gundam Wing - symbolic "white moon angel" to end war, also appropriate "grim reaper" and "clown rambo" to add to the craziness.
    4. Code Geass - "black-yellow tiny fortress" mecha, with a tactical leader who want to end war.
    5. Knight's & Magic - "blue beetle air assault demon", newer entry yes but Ernie 's innocence is nice to have in your team.

    Never seen these 5 appeared together before, SRW X is the closest.

    "Must Have" here is more the 5 series you want the most to appear together, rather than what "should" always appear.

    What's yours?

    My problem with SRW 30's roster

    It's been about 3 years since SRW 30 was released and all the dlc's available but I just keep thinking how much of a missed opportunity the roster is. Yes, having a ton of SRW OG characters included in the dlc is nice and seeing returning series like Voltes V and new series appearences like Sakura Wars. But if you want to celebrate a series anniversary that is all about crossovers? With plenty of games that already have alot of series included, its a shame there isn't enough classic series in the game. Yes I'm aware that there are rights issues to some series (Raideen, classic Getter) and plenty of series that have appeared WAY too much in SRW games and have little to no changes (Daitarn, Wing). But I feel like for this instance its fine since its all about celebrating the series as a whole. I dunno what are your opinions?

    What SRW installments are good for an Aura Battler Dunbine fan?

    Just kind of sad that I am halfway done with the show as I am going through it rather quickly that it got me wondering what games of the franchise do the series justice as it was one of the first Isekai ever made.

    What can SRW learn from other games of its genre?

    Recently reinstalled SD Generations Cross Rays and while honestly I consider it a game inferior to SRW (mainly cuz is just "recreate the stories of the animes" and nothing else) I do find impressive how it can handle such an amount of units and give them all a fairly respectable amount of attacks and a lot of them being fairly impressive, making me think that SRW should turn to 3D instead of mantaing in sprite form. Also I like that not all MAP moves are attacks and instead there are some MAP skills that inflicts debuffs or heal or similar, and even MAP attacks that "moves" the units and inflicts damage to the units that crosses their paths. I haven't played that much of tactical RPGs asides of these two series for the moment so I was wondering do y'all know other games that have ideas that can improve SRW?

    Which SRW gives me the most Gurren Lagann?

    Hey all, I'm in the mood for a game like this. Fire Emblem Awakening is the last strategy game I played, finished and loved from start to finish.

    I like Gurren Lagann and hot blooded Gigachad energy stuff. I also enjoy sillier characters like Rock Lee and Kinta Sakata from Dandadan.

    I grew up with stuff like Macross, Golion, Mazinger, Grendizer. I was pretty into GaoGaiGar for a minute. I might know of newer series - but in recent years I've only watched Macross F and Iron Blooded Orphans.

    A robust endgame and lots of grinding would be an awesome bonus. Do these games have random loot? Or just shop items? I do enjoy random loot games with character builds like Borderlands 2 - but it's not a deal breaker.

    Is SWR X the game for me? Or should I go with a different entry? Thanks!

    What's your favorite type of mecha setting?

    Trying to add some definition behind these choices

    1. Pretty much simple. This type of setting is basically like our world but with mecha. Mechs in this setting are usually commonplace and are handled not unlike tanks and fighter jets. However, the mecha in the setting aren't as too fanciful as the other examples listed below.
    2. Setting is similar to above but it happened way further in the future, allowing for technology to improve drastically. Usually involves space travel and advanced mechs.
    3. This is the setting we all know and remember. Involves the hero getting inside the state-of-the-art mecha to fight against evil threats. The mechs are treated like superheroes.
    4. Last but not definitely the least, but this one takes place in a fantasy setting where mechas do exist alongside with dragons and fairies. Usually isekais though.

    Game Recommendations After OGs

    Hey guys, I’m finishing up my re-playthrough of the OGs (first time in a decade, it’s been amazing), and I really have an itch for more of this SRPG action with a solid story. I’m wondering what other games in the series y’all would recommend to get me started. A couple of things to keep in mind:

    -I’ve never really followed any mecha anime. I’ve seen some episodes of a few here and there, but outside of G Gundam, I’ve not watched any for more than a handful of episodes. -English releases or patches for the story are important to me -If there’s an over-arching story, I’d prefer, if possible, to play them in the intended order -I would prefer SRPG style similar to the OGs, but I might be open to other styles -Bonus points if they are in or adjacent to the OG universe

    Any and all recommendations are appreciated!

    Reached Endgame in SRW30, some questions

    Hi, I've recently finished the With A Hopeful Heart Mission, and got some questions before beginning

    the Extra Chapter:

    1.- after finishing that mission 2 new Onboard Missions appeared (Earthbound Wars, Spaceborne Wars), but neither Akurasu or the SteelSeven Youtube playtrough mentioned them, so is there a complete Mission list (just to make sure I didn't miss anything)?

    2.- Can you do the Showdown With the Unknown mission in the Extra Chapter?

    3.- How do you get the Accelerator 30 part? (Akurasu doesn't show hot to get it).

    4.- What's the best Attack part for the Dreisstrager?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who answers!
