  • An enhanced remake of Super Robot Wars A, removing the original's obsolete "Shield HP System" and introducing modern gameplay mechanics; it is also the first game to utilize "Diminishing Returns," a system which reduces a unit's chance of evading an attack each time that it successfully dodges. Infamous for high unit evasion rates, making it difficult for both the player and the enemies to land hits, and the fixture of the "save & load manipulation" trick, so the same battle result is produced even if the game is reset and reloaded. The game uses the same graphics engine as Super Robot Wars: Original Generations for the PS2.
