Super Robot Wars EX

Game Details:

Developed by Banpresto, this title is one of the spin-offs of the "Super Robot Wars" series, originally released on the SFC (Super Nintendo) platform in 1994. "EX" is based on the "Masou Kishin" (Lord of Elemental) worldview and is set between "Super Robot Wars III" and "Super Robot Wars IV."

The game is divided into three chapters, each with a different protagonist: Masaki, Ryuune, and Shu. Each character's storyline intertwines, providing players with a multi-perspective narrative experience. The battle system retains the classic grid-based layout, incorporating elements such as terrain and Spirit Commands to enhance strategic depth.

Featuring mechs and characters from series such as "Mazinger Z," "Getter Robo," "Mobile Suit Gundam," and "Gundam Z," it's a comprehensive work for fans.

Editor's Recommendation:

If you're a fan of strategy games or robot anime, "Super Robot Wars EX" is definitely worth a try. It not only retains the series' consistent strategic gameplay but also enriches the plot layers with three protagonists and multiple branches.

Especially recommended for players who enjoy the OG worldview, this game is crucial for building the world of Masou Kishin, where the fates of many original characters begin to unfold. Even playing it now, you can still feel the intense and exciting battlefield game and the charm of the story.

Game Strategy:

1. Route Planning and Selection Recommendations

The game is divided into three routes: Masaki's, Ryuune's, and Shu's, each with its own independent storyline and mechs.

Recommended order:

• Masaki's Route (suitable for beginners)
• Ryuune's Route (battle-intensive)
• Shu's Route (highest difficulty, Boss-intensive)

2. Battle Tips

• Using "Spirit Commands" effectively is key to victory. For example, "Sure Hit," "Evade," and "Accel" can effectively control the rhythm of the battlefield.
• Take advantage of terrain: mountains increase evasion, cities improve defense, and strategic deployment can reduce losses.
• Concentrate fire to defeat enemy commanders, which can disrupt the enemy's rhythm.

3. Mech Upgrade Recommendations

• Prioritize upgrading the attack power and mobility of your main mechs early on.
• Later, you can strengthen EN and armor values to adapt to protracted battles and Boss battles.

4. Hidden Elements and Character Acquisition

• Meeting specific conditions in certain stages (such as protecting NPCs or clearing the stage within a limited number of turns) can unlock hidden characters or storyline branches.
• After clearing one route, some characters will carry over their experience and upgrade records when you play another route.

5. Boss Battle Techniques

Bosses usually have extremely high armor and powerful area-of-effect skills. It is recommended to use long-range, high-output mechs in conjunction with "Valor + Sure Hit" Spirit Commands to quickly suppress them.
