The Super Robot Wars games are NEVER as good as you actually want them to be, but this one really takes the cake with how much of a slog it is. Overwhelmingly difficult, repetitive, and all around painfully designed. Genuinely feels unbalanced and mean, and not in a way I can even picture people who like that sort of thing enjoying. Which is a shame, because the roster, characters, and animations are great! I just wish every level wasn't "defeat 100 damage sponges that each take several turns to defeat. okay now do it again." And sometimes with a regenerating super boss thrown in after multiple waves of that.
