We have a trifecta of mecha titles releasing in Japan this week, between the PS4 Virtual-on ports, the latest Gundam strategy game SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays, and the RTS-style 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. While the Virtual-on games are as they were with added online functionality, online team battles, and online tournaments, the other are two entirely new titles.
SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays builds off the base of the orevious game, Genesis, but trades the UC focus for focus on the alternate timelines based on Gundam SEED, Gundam 00, Iron-Blooded Orphans, and Gundam Wing. Additionally, there are some new features such as the Raid Unit formation that has units moving around separately without a battleship to act as support.
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is Vanillaware’s latest game, focusing on thirteen different protagonists who become able to pilot the mysterious iron giants, the Sentinels. They have to figure out just what’s going on, as something has caused the timeline to go out of wack. It’s a story-based game which RTS-style battle scenes.
In non-mecha related business, the DanMachi dungeon crawler is finally coming out after more than a year of delays.
