These two games really can’t seem to escape each other.
Alright, well, the list of characters introduced in the Infinite Battle PV is pretty massive, so I won’t go into any details beyond who they are and the robots that come with them.
Ryusei Date, pilot of the R-1
Kai Kitamura, pilot of a standard Gespenst Mk II
Tasuku Shinguji, pilot of the Giganscudo Duro
Aya Kobayashi, pilot of the R-3
Arado Balanga, pilot of the Wild Wurger
Ibis Douglas, pilot of the Astelion AX
Sanger Zonvolt, pilot of the DyGenGuard
Excellen Browning, pilot of the Rein Weiss Ritter
Kouta Azuma, pilot of the G-Compatible Kaiser
Brooklyn “Bullet” Luckfield, pilot of the KoRyuOh
The following robots were either shown in the background, or were showcased without their pilot’s portrait appearing first.
The R-2, piloted by Raidieses F. Branstein
The Vysaga, piloted by either Lamia Loveless or Axel Almer
The R-Gun, piloted by either Viletta Badam or Levi Torah
The RyuKoOh, piloted by Kusuha Mizuha
Note: There are other robots that are shown in the video, but I’m not quite sure who they are.
That’s quite the number of robots and pilots to introduce to the game at once. You have some more notable ones such as Sanger, Ryusei, and Bullet (my personal favorite) and then you have some still notable, but less important characters such as Ibis and Arado. What’s more important about this character list though, is that it includes the entirety of the parts of the SRX, which could mean we have a super boss in the works.
Aside from that, we also received a lot of information on just how the game is going to work. Within the game there are multiple modes. First there is Arcade Mode which will function like most arcade modes in most fighters do. Free Battle Mode which will allow you to fight in any situation that you want. Mission mode which will feature a variety of missions in the game’s own story. This will also include the upgrade and equipment system that SRW has always had. Lastly there is Online War Mode, which will just be the online fighting mode that we all want.
Battles can be up to 3-vs-3 combat with one main character leading the squadron on each side. Robots will function much like they do in a normal SRW game. Aside from basic combat that the robot may have, special moves will either require a set amount of energy, or have a limited amount of ammunition. I believe that these stats will be congruent with the base stats of the robots in other SRW games.
Last big thing that has come from this, we now have a theme song for the entirety of the game. Instead of the normal Jam Project song, we get a Granrodeo theme, “Baby Bad Boy.” It damn sure sounds like a robot theme, so I’m into it. There’s a lot to look forward to, and we haven’t even gotten into the notable OG Villians that I’m sure they have to put in. Shu Shirakawa will not be kept out of this game.
Speaking of Shu…
I love the progression of this PV. Shu starts doing his new ultimate move, some vaguely evil guy talk about how evil they are, Shu breaks out into the middle of a battle to aid his new allies, and then screw all that dramatic stuff it’s time for the Shu Brigade to kick ass.
There’s not too much new stuff to talk about. Shu has a new move that destroys everything…again, his new team does have some new members though. I like to think that the first new member, Ahaado, is Shu getting a speedy wind based team mate so that he can piss off Masaaki even more than he did when he murdered his parents. Really it sorta looks like he’s trying to create his own version of the La Gias team considering their basic arrangement. I don’t know why Arbaad has his own custom Grungst though, that’s kinda strange.
The game does seem like it’s going to be a bit strange, so any weird moments or robots are to expected. It’s still going to be quite fun running around as Shu being an immortal god man that can kill everyone because Volkruss gave him too much power. That probably made no sense to anyone that doesn’t already know the entire story of Shu, but that’s why Dark Prison is being made in the first place.
Look forward to these games being released on Nov. 28
