Play Dai-2-Ji - Super Robot Taisen (Japan) Online

Dai-2-Ji Super Robot Taisen came out for the NES in 1991, developed by Winkysoft and published by Banpresto. It was part of that wave of strategy games that really tested your patience and planning on the console, sitting alongside other turn based titles but carving its own niche with licensed mecha franchises. You don't see many games that blend so many different robot series into one coherent turn based battle.

You command a squad of robots from various anime, moving them on a grid based map to engage enemy units in tactical combat. The main goal is to complete scenario objectives, which usually involve defeating all enemies or protecting specific units. Key mechanics include managing energy for powerful weapons, customizing your units with upgrades between battles, and using spirit commands for special in battle effects. The pacing is methodical, and the difficulty can be unforgiving if you overextend a key unit. It feels satisfying to outmaneuver a tough opponent and land a finishing blow with a fully animated attack.
