How it plays

How does Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 2 play?

Missions take place from an overhead, grid-based perspective. Move allied units, choose weapons, manage morale and resources, and defeat enemy forces or complete scenario-specific objectives.

The campaign advances through story chapters, with intermission menus used to upgrade machines, equip parts, adjust pilots, and review combat abilities. Units can support one another, form combination attacks, and exploit terrain or weapon ranges. Difficulty comes from positioning, enemy reinforcements, victory conditions, and limited resources rather than from real-time reflexes.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 2?

Plan movement before committing to an attack. Keep fragile units within support range and use terrain bonuses when they are available.

Upgrade weapons on dependable units first, then improve armor or mobility according to the machine’s role. Check enemy ranges and scripted reinforcements before ending a turn, and preserve morale and spirit-point resources for decisive encounters.
