Game Overview

Super Robot Taisen: Link Battler came out in 2001 for the Game Boy Color, developed by Banpresto. It was a late release for the system, a time when the GBA was already on the horizon, but it offered a different kind of strategy experience for fans of the mecha genre.

You control a team of robots from various anime series, using a deck of cards to command their actions in turn-based battles. The main goal is to defeat enemy units across a series of grid-based maps. Key mechanics include linking attacks between your units for combined damage and carefully managing your limited card hand to execute moves. The pacing is brisk, with battles that demand quick tactical decisions rather than long-term planning. It feels like a condensed, portable version of a larger war, where every card play matters.
