Super Robot Taisen V

In the New Correct Dimension the star ship Yamato, aided by the Crossbone Vanguard, embarks on a desperate quest to reach the distant Iscandar star system for the only hope to save an Earth dying from the Gamillas’ Empire’s planet killer weapon. In the AD Dimension Might Senpuuji, the richest boy on the planet, fights against criminals in Nouvelle Tokyo while the girls of Arzenal island, stripped of all rights because of their inability to manipulate Mana, protect the world from incursions of dragons in order to pay for their continued existence. In the Universal Century Dimension a broken world, ravaged by endless war between the Federation and Neo Zeon and the global ecological disaster of Third Impact, attempts to heal as the independent military group Mithril investigates the source of Out Of Place technology derived from the Whispered: people aware of technology that does not exist. Behind the scenes god-like figures secretly manipulate the events of the three Earths to their own goals, with no regard for the innocent lives lost in the process.

Super Robot Wars V is a standalone title in the long-running series, marking the 25th anniversary of the Super Robot Wars franchise. This entry also marks the first appearance of Space Battleship Yamato in the SRW series, which is notable for not actually having any robots.The player starts by selecting their point-of-view character, either the washed up pilot haunted by his past failures Souji Murakumo, or the out of her depth rookie with no experience Chitose Kisaragi. This pilot can be renamed, and depending on the pilot their reactions during cutscenes, and some missions, will change. During a routine mission the pilot will chance upon the experimental mecha suit VangRay, falling into the Yamato’s crew and joining them on their journey across space and dimensions.

As in past SRW games SRW V follows the game flow of Base mode, followed by Adventure mode, followed by Scenario mode, and then back again. In Adventure mode the player watches the events of the storyline play out, occasionally making a decision of which storyline route to follow. In Scenario mode the player deploys their forces to defeat their opponents or achieve specific objectives. In Base mode the player spends currency earned in Scenario mode to upgrade their units.
