Description

The third part of the Alpha timeline of Super Robot Wars/Taisen and the finale of the same timeline.

Only mere weeks have passed since the Sealed War, the conflict that usurped humanity at its very home, our planet Earth. However, a new crisis is still on the horizon. Ever since the first conflict (Super Robot Wars/Taisen Alpha), humanity became aware that they were not alone in space, and that a massive conflict is happening in the galaxy. The last remaining powers on Earth and its colonies came up with a number of plans to save humanity, whether by protecting our planet or by organizing an interstellar colonial fleet to seek a new world. Now, with nowhere to hide from an impending calamity, humanity scrambles for a solution.

One day, a colony ship mysteriously returns from its journey, after a long period of radio silence. In the asteroid belt, a towering structure has appeared out of nowhere. And military organizations and extraterrestrials both inside and outside our world are conspiring against humanity. The final war for mankind has begun. Only a few will ever know its outcome...

Like most games of this series, Dai-3-ji Super Robot Taisen Alpha (The 3rd Super Robot Wars Alpha), is a tactical RPG that combines various robots from popular Japanese anime with robots, popularly known as "mecha". Players control various units on an isometric map, battling numerous enemies and progressing through the story. After each mission, players can customize units' specs and weapons, as well as add peripherals that can help units in the time of need. Like its predecessor, the game allows players to make battalions of four units and each of the groups can battle other enemy battalions. Three new anime series were added to this part: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, GaoGaiGar FINAL and Sega's Virtual-ON, marking the first time units from another video game series were introduced to the franchise. It also reintroduces important series to this timeline, such as Neon Genesis Evangelion, Macross and Gunbuster, to mark the finale.
