my friend asked me for some recommendations on games where you can make things go boom in a big robot

...so here's a bunch of games where you can make things go boom in a big robot

organized by category and loosely ordered by accessibility. one per series unless the games fit different genres

suggestions welcome!

this is for faraway dawn, which is a separate game inside of altered fable - an untranslated muv luv fandisc

faraway dawn itself is a brutally difficult turn based strategy that's meant to simulate a realistic scenario against the beta. if you've read the vn then you already know what to expect

it's playable either with trial & error or a translation guide for the interface
