Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier

Lore & Background

The game features multiple worlds with combat taking place on foot, and mecha controllable by the player's actions and commands. The battle system is similar to that of Namco × Capcom, using timed button presses for attack commands rather than a menu system. Players can chain attacks together and use support from characters in the 'back row'. Mecha in this game are typically depicted as being around 20-30 meters tall, consistent with the main Super Robot Wars series. Despite being an 'Original Generation' title, the game includes characters from Namco × Capcom and Xenosaga. Its Japanese theme song 'Butterfly' is performed by the girl-group Perfume and appears on their album Game.

Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier is significant as a departure from the tactical role-playing gameplay typical of the Super Robot Wars franchise, introducing a turn-based battle system with timed button presses. It expands the Original Generation universe by incorporating characters from other series like Namco × Capcom and Xenosaga, and features smaller mecha. The game was released in Japan with a pre-order bonus drama CD that reveals events from Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2 in Super Robot Wars: Original Generations. A manga adaptation began serialization in Kerokero Ace magazine in February 2008. The North American release by Atlus included a premium boxed edition with a bonus soundtrack CD. Players who owned Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation or its sequel for Game Boy Advance could obtain items in the localized version by inserting the cartridge into the DS's SLOT 2. A sequel, Endless Frontier Exceed, was released for the DS in Japan in 2010.
