"When I was 16 years old, I wrote my first fanfiction. It was a crossover fic where the cast from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy gave the anime dog demon Inuyasha a makeover. It was stupid and poorly written, and yet, to this very day, I remember it fondly. This is exactly what it's like playing Super Robot Wars Y - an exceedingly silly, nonsensical plot featuring characters that have no business speaking to each other all, stitched together by tactical robot action."
"It is the latest entry in a series of robot strategy games that spans back to the NES days, but this recent game is only one of a handful of English releases. Super Robot Wars takes all the robots from your favorite mecha series - Getter Robo, Mazinger Z, Gundam, and more - and mashes them together in a big ol' strategy RPG toybox."
Super Robot Wars Y released on Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam on August 29th. The demo covers the game's first chapter and allows progress to carry over to the full release. The franchise is a long-running series of robot strategy games that dates back to the NES era, with relatively few English releases until recently. The game assembles robots from many mecha franchises — including Getter Robo, Mazinger Z, and Gundam — and stages their interactions within turn-based tactical combat. The plot leans intentionally silly and outrageous, producing a charming, nostalgic tone that complements the strategic gameplay.
