It’s been a bit since any super robot news has come out, so I guess it’s time to mention the new SRW games. A few weeks ago a PV for two SRW games came out, OG Infinite Battle and Dark Prison. These flew under the radar for me at first, but now it’s time to show their glory.
The first game shown is SRW OG Infinite Battle, a game that looks like a Virtual-On style robot fighting game, with gameplay more similar to the Another Century’s Episode series. I just have to say this really quickly. It has long been a dream of mine to get a robot fighting game featuring a large cast of super robots. I wanted it to be just a large amount of robots from the 70s and 80s like Getter Robo and Mazinger, but this just as good. A fighting game with the OG cast will be great. It’s especially nice to see some lesser known OG characters to be shown like Russel Bergman in the Gespent Mk. II and Wodan Ymir in the Thrudgelmir. Hopefully that means they’ll add in more prominent characters between now and the release date.
The second game in the video is SRW OG Dark Prison. It will be a little bonus for those that buy the special edition of Infinite Battle, though it can still be bought separately. I don’t have the details, but it looks to be a little gaiden about one of and arguably the number one antagonist of the OG series, Shu Shirakawa. The name comes from Shu’s theme, and considering both that and how prominent he is in the PV, I believe it’s safe to assume its entirely about him. I look forward to this because it means that we’ll have a little exposition on a very oddly effective villian. Shu’s very chilling and his demeanor makes you almost believe that he could be your friend, at least until he explodes you with the sword he just teleported into your face. Though that might just be Takehito Koyasu’s excellent voice work.
Infinite Battle and Dark Prison will both be released on Nov. 28
