What players say

Most players recommend this Super Robot Wars entry for its crossover story and strong animations, though repetitive enemies, a dated interface and a high price draw criticism.

Most players recommend it and say it improves on Super Robot Wars 30, with better writing that weaves many mecha series into one shared story and missions that run several series in parallel. Many players enjoy the crossover cast, the voiced combat animations, the music and the grid-based tactical battles. Some find it easy, while others say Expert difficulty and late-game units make it a real challenge. Complaints centre on repetitive enemies and reused maps, a few series given only short or partial stories, DLC-locked content, a high price and a cramped interface. Some players also report technical problems such as stuttering attack animations and missing 4K support.

Praised

  • Crossover story

    Players like how characters from many mecha series interact and how the plot ties the separate shows into one world.

    Many players
  • Combat animations and voice acting

    Attack cutscenes, fully voiced combat lines and cinematic special moves are repeatedly praised.

    Many players
  • Tactical grid combat

    Terrain, positioning and unit buffs give the turn-based battles real depth, especially on higher difficulty.

    Some players
  • Music and soundtrack

    Licensed tracks and the premium soundtrack pack are singled out as a highlight for fans of the series.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Repetitive enemies and maps

    Enemy units are mostly recolours with similar animations, and maps are reused often, even in story missions.

    Many players
  • Reused series and weaker roster

    Players want fewer repeated series and more new mecha, and some find the roster weaker than earlier entries.

    Some players
  • Missing DLC content and high price

    Much of the content sits behind paid DLC, and several players think the base price is high for what is included.

    Some players
  • Dated interface and technical issues

    Players describe a cramped UI, stuttering attack effects, a few input bugs and no 4K support.

    Some players
Who it suits
Fans of mecha anime and of the Super Robot Wars series, especially players who enjoy crossover stories and grid-based tactics.
Who should skip it
Players who want new mecha rather than familiar series, or who dislike long visual-novel sections and repetitive enemies, should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours mainly complain about repetitive enemies and maps and the late-game grind, while newer players focus on the story and animations.
