Didn't play much this week. Mainly continuing with Dragon Age: Inquisition, plus some more puzzles in The Last Campfire.

My wife, who generally doesn't play games, got back into Tetris 99, even reaching 2nd in a gruelling match. Also playing some single player Tetris in Puyo Puyo Tetris.

What about all of you? What have you been playing? Or planning to play over the weekend?

Replaying Super Robot Wars V!

The original plan for the week was to continue Senren * Banka, but I got this game on the mail during the week, decided to try it for a just a bit... and remembered how I'm hopelessly addicted to this series.

For those unfamiliar with the series, Super Robot Wars games are turn-based strategy RPGs where units from several mecha anime band together, so you can have the Evangelions teaming with Gundams and Daitarn 3 against common foes, with really cool attack animations and a crazy crossover plot mixing elements of all the series involved.

It's a very old series, the first game was released in the 90's for the original B&W Gameboy, but while there are over 50 games in the series almost none of them were released in the west due to the complex licensing involved. But luckily for the english-speaking audience since the PS4 they started released Asian "multi-language" versions of these games, so we can finally enjoy them properly.

I had already played this game on the PS4, but could not resist a recent sale and double-dipped so I now have the Switch version as well. Decided to use the female protagonist (Chitose) for this replay since I love her themes, and I'm currently around Stage 20.

I have heard about these games a lot, but never got around to getting them. Didn't even know they weren't available for West, so maybe that's why.

Will check out some videos and see if I should order a physical copy.

There's 4 of them on the Switch/PS4, and all of them have an Asian/English version.

  • Super Robot Wars V
  • Super Robot Wars X
  • Super Robot Wars T
  • Super Robot Wars 30

I personally rank them in this order: V > T > X> 30, but I always recommend people trying these games to look into which anime/mecha series are included on each and get whichever has more series you like.

You can find this information (along with a lot more) on the Akurasu Wiki.
