Super Robot Taisen GC
In the year New AD 179, an enormous alien spacecraft crash-lands on Earth,
making humanity acutely aware that they are not alone in the universe. The
ship is repaired and its technology reverse-engineered, becoming the flagship
SDF Macross in preparation of an attack on Earth. Just eight years later,
their worst fears come to reality, with the Neo Zeon Army launching an all-out
attack on Earth.
Super Robot Taisen α is one of the many titles in Banpresto’s mecha-
crossover tactical RPG series, and the first release in the Alpha sub-
series, which was the first major reboot of the franchise after F Final ended
the original storyline. It features mechs and characters from more than a
dozen well-known mech anime franchises, and includes a number of design and
balance tweaks that would become standard for the series. Of particular note
is the battle sequences, which for the first time are now fully-animated.
The Dreamcast release features fully-3D models rather than the sprite-based
graphics of the original, and also includes a number of balance tweaks to make
the game more difficult, along with a new secret boss.
