About This Game
The game combines characters and mechs from previous Banpresto original designs into a cohesive storyline about the Earth Federation Army battling alien invaders. Features include a 'Twin Battle System' for coordinated unit attacks, over 50 upgradeable units, and branching story paths based on player choices.
Notable for its deep tactical gameplay requiring positioning and energy management, with anime-style battle cutscenes for special attacks. The game introduced many Original Generation characters who became series staples, like Excellen Browning and her sniper unit.
Originally Japan-only, an official English localization was released in 2006. It spawned multiple sequels and became the foundation for Banpresto's original mecha universe, later adapted into anime series and manga.
