New Update

While waiting for the new update, players can enjoy the free 1.2.0 update which comes out today. The highlight is the addition of the "Special Mission: Battle Rush 2." It's an evolved version of Battle Rush that now has 20 waves. The update also brings with it an expansion to the STG Memory system and Status Cap Unlock. The latter increases the pilot stat enhancement cap to +50 and extends the pilot level cap from Lv.99 to Lv.150.

SUPER ROBOT WARS Y challenges the Guardians of Steel to rise and conquer fate. The game features an all-star mecha cast and combines it with action-packed attack animations. It also has an upgrade system that allows players to customize the different units and pilots.

The game also features a deep and engaging original story that weaves together universes from a variety of mecha anime. In a battle to determine the world’s future, players strategically command an army on a grid-based battlefield. They can utilize their arsenal of weapons and abilities to defeat the opposing army.

One key feature of SUPER ROBOT WARS Y is the Assist Link system. What it does is allow some characters to join the battlefield as part of the Assist Crew. Players can use Assist Commands to recover HP and EN, boost a unit's attack power, and more. The Assist Crew gains valuable XP with each activation, leveling up to unlock or enhance passive abilities to help units dominate the battlefield.

SUPER ROBOT WARS Y is the highly anticipated new entry to the franchise, following the 2021 hit SUPER ROBOT WARS 30, and a must-have for fans of the long-running game series. Get SUPER ROBOT WARS Y on Steam now.
