Welcome to Super Robot Wars R. The R stands for “Reversal”. It’s all about fixing the mistakes of the past.

What is this game?
Super Robot Wars R (SRW R) is a turn-based strategy RPG for the Gameboy Advance that came out only in Japan in 2002. It covers either Raul or Fiona Gureden as they and their team try to gather support for their new test robot, the Excellence, and its Time Flow Engine. Things spiral out of control from there.

Why do this?
Mostly because I really enjoyed doing the SRW D LP. I’ve already decided that I’m going to do at least one more LP after this one as well. I know this isn’t as good as a proper English translation patch, but this is the next best thing. I want current and future fans of my favorite series to understand these games and just what makes them so great. Just to be clear, my focus is primarily on bringing the story to an English reading audience.

What series are in this game?
There are quite a few series that are in this game and some of them even feature their own plots that intertwine together in interesting ways. Other series’ plots have already happened and they’re just sticking around to help or to help.

Of these, Dendoh, Shin vs Neo Getter, and Nadesico Prince of Darkness all make their SRW debut in this game.

This will be my second screenshot LP, and I’ve already devised several improvements from my SRW D LP. Posts will be accompanied by the raw, unedited video footage of my gameplay, for better or for worse, and a link to a version of the same chapter in the test poster, which is for archival purposes. Do not expect perfect gameplay or playing animations for every attack. There will be other improvements such as naming everyone on their first appearance.

Barring any direct questions in the LP thread, I’m not going to go too in-depth into the game mechanics. The majority of them are the same as in other SRW titles, but I will point out the important and relevant aspects.

This game does feature route splits and unique units and scenarios depending on the decisions you make. It also has a lot of secrets to be found. I have a route in mind that I will ultimately take to the end, but I will be covering every stage for completionists sake.

Much like my run through SRW D, one of the Main Characters will be the “canon” route and the other will make appearances for the route splits that I don’t choose. Thankfully, there aren't that many differences between the two playable Main Characters, so for those making different decisions from my own, the majority of the time you’ll just need to swap between male and female references. I’m not planning on playing the game four times for every possible combination.

As always, any thoughts, feedback, or pointing out spelling errors I’ve missed is appreciated.
