A new story spun with those famous machines is here! A preliminary play report on the hot new title "Super Robot Taisen DD"!

The "Super Robot Wars" (hereafter, "Super Robot Wars") series has long been a beloved consumer title. Its latest title, "Super Robot Wars DD," is scheduled for distribution in 2019 for smartphones.

This time, we participated in an advance test play of the title, which was held from December 14 to 16, 2018, ahead of its distribution. What kind of battles will unfold between renowned robots? By actually playing the game, the contents of "Super Robot Taisen DD" will be unraveled!

The heated battles between the most popular robots have been beautifully realized on a smartphone!

The "Super Robot" series is all about controlling the famous machines that have appeared in the robot anime of the past!

Naturally, many robots also appear in "Super Robo DD," and during this test play, we were able to obtain "Black Getter," "GaoGaiGar," "Vortez V," "Z Gundam," and more!

In addition, the original robots in this work are also very cool!

In particular, "Diedalion," the main character of the game, grabs players' hearts with its stylish appearance and intelligent behavior!

To obtain these robot characters, players must complete the story mode.

In the Story Mode, players enter the world of each work through time and space with "Diedalion. By clearing the stages that follow the scenario of each work, players can increase the number of friends they have.

In the story, nostalgic characters appear! You may encounter that beloved character not only on your side but also on the enemy side.

In the test play, there was only one stage (called "world") that you could progress through, but in the main game, you can choose from four different worlds. We are looking forward to the release of the game, not only to enjoy the activities of our favorite aircraft and pilots, but also to see how the crossover storyline will unfold!

A vivid reproduction of that special move!　Seize victory with a powerful blow!

Next, let's take a look at the battle system, which is the most important part of the game.

In this work, a speed system is adopted, in which the robots (up to four) and their enemies attack in order of their speed. There are two types of attacks: normal and special moves. Special moves, which can be activated after a number of turns, not only inflict heavy damage but also create a spectacular battle!

The special moves seen in each of the participating works are reproduced!

Many of the normal attacks are also action-packed. You may also be surprised by the attacks from enemy characters!

The battle system is simple and easy to understand, but the most important aspect of the battle system is the strategy on the map.

In order to attack an enemy, you need to get close to the enemy to a certain extent, and your judgment on which aircraft to use against which enemy and how much distance you should leave between you and the enemy within your range will greatly change the situation on the board.

It is not always necessary to be adjacent when attacking. Grasping the characteristics of each character is a shortcut to victory.

Incidentally, the AUTO function, which allows the CPU to take control of the game, has already been implemented. In addition to the aforementioned story mode, day-of-week events and limited-time events are held as only a smartphone game can. In addition to the aforementioned story mode, the game also offers day-of-week events and limited-time events that are unique to smartphone games, as well as rewards based on missions, making it possible to quickly progress through the game according to the situation.

What kind of events will be held after the release of the game? We can't wait to see what events will be held after the release of the game.

Strengthen your equipment and create your own unique aircraft!

In order to win battles, it is essential to improve not only tactics but also the performance of the aircraft itself.

To achieve this, it is important to raise your character level, but also to enhance your equipment (slots).

Depending on the equipment, special moves can be used, and the performance of some aircraft can be changed. While there is no particular performance compensation, it is possible to create your own unique aircraft in "Super Robo DD".

Create your own dream team by organizing a variety of characters!

The machines mentioned so far are just a few of the machines that will appear in this title. As of today, "Armored Trooper Votoms," "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion," and "Saint Dunbine" are just a few of the works that are participating in the game, and original characters also appear in the game.

Which aircraft can be customized and how, and what kind of story will be woven into the game? We can hardly wait for the release date.
