For me:

  1. Super Robot Wars (Gameboy)

  2. Berserk Millennium Falcon Arc: Chapter of the Holy Demon War (Mouthful, PS2)

  3. Gundam Battle Assault (PSX)

I love Super Robot Wars, it's the perfect you got peanut butter in my chocolate game. It mixes a dozen different giant mecha ips into a tactical roleplaying game.

Berserk on the ps2 is awesome. It takes the musou formula but imo makes it something much more engaging, plus it faithfully retells the best arc of the manga.

GBA is a great 2D fighter by natsume, carries on the tradition of the gundam wing game for the super famicom but this time on a 32bit system.

Blasphemy, Gundam Battle Assault 2 has all the main G-Gundam cast in a fighting game!

Is that newish Berserk musou game any good?

Rankings for me:

  1. Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front (PS2) - Rainbox Six style tactical shooter, Gundam edition!
  2. .hack//(INFECTION/MUTATION/OUTBREAK/QUARANTINE) (PS2) - These aged like trash, gameplay-wise, but they were super cool for their time. Great execution for a multimedia franchise
  3. Robotech: Battlecry (PS2, XBOX, GC) - They nailed the art style and the game was pretty fun, even if it's got the Harmony Gold stink on it

Shoutout to the mishmash of all the weird Japan-only anime tie-in ROMs I played in the mid-2000s: Magic Knight Rayearth (SFC/SNES), Sailor Moon (Sega Genesis), Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie (SFC/SNES) come to mind, but I'm sure there's others

Also, shoutout to Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, which nails the anime OP aesthetic with its attract mode

From what I remember, the reviews around the Berserk musou game were kinda mid, but the game journalism industry tends to hate on the subgenre so idk. The latest One Piece musou game is supposed to be very good though

I've heard the same but that comic is toooooooooo long for me to want to start. That, and Oda still being buddies with Watsuki doesn't help lol.

Oda keeps flipping a coin to decide if he should write a really good chapter today or do some insane shit. I hate that the mf can't just write about cool pirates, and instead decides to say something shitty or draw nami with bigger booba and legs that go ALLLLLL the way up

One Piece is very good but I can't blame anyone for not wanting to approach it lol. It reads very quickly but it's still 1000+ chapters. Also I hadn't heard about him being buddies with that sicko - I'm disappointed but not surprised considering the nature of the manga industry...

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front (PS2) - Rainbox Six style tactical shooter, Gundam edition!

Great game, but I only ever borrowed it from my cousin and didn't get very far. The mission to scout out the gundam and white base was a brick wall.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I still suck at the game as an adult lol. It works with the source material for me in the same way sucking at TIE Fighter does - bad guys punching in the clock to get wrecked

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

It's still a cool game it's the closest we've got to real mobile suit tactical combat.
