Super Robot Wars OG Gaiden (スーパーロボット大戦OG外伝, Sūpā Robotto Taisen Ōjī Gaiden) is a tactical role-playing game, and direct sequel to Super Robot Wars Original Generations, for the PlayStation 2. The bonus segments of Original Generations, entitled Original Generation 2.5: Unified Wisdom, was regarded as a preview for Original Generation Gaiden. The game will resolve many matters left unchecked at the end of Original Generation 2.5, such as one of the main antagonist's unfinished plan and the activities of one of the enemy factions.

Gameplay

The same tactical gameplay from Original Generations is carried over to Original Generation Gaiden, along with the Twin Battle System and Twin Command game mechanics.

The first of two new gameplay features in Original Generation Gaiden is a card battling mini-game, entitled, Shuffler Battle Mode. Separate from the main game, this unique card game allows the player to play against the computer using trading cards representing various characters and mechs in the Original Generation games, played in the style of traditional collectible card games, such as Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. The second gameplay feature is the inclusion of a Free Battle Mode, where the player is given the freedom of setting their own scenario, placing which allied or enemy characters and mechs on the field in a specific environment.

Changes And Additions

Like Original Generations, Original Generation Gaiden includes new content, in the form of new characters and mecha, but also provides additions to existing characters and mechs.

  • Additional mecha designed specifically for the game include the following:
    • Gespenst MK II M Custom
      • A heavily customized Gespenst for Kai Kitamura, and painted in his signature colors, this unit is mounted with Plasma Bucklers on both arms, and will utilize more grappling and martial arts techniques, as per his combat style. This also involved some minor plot addition towards the portable version of Super Robot Wars MX in PSP as a result of participation of OG series.
  • Several existing units gain new variations, such as Sanger Zonvolt's Dygenguar, which can, for the first time in the series, utilize its previously disabled "default" weapons as an alternative to its Colossal Blade attacks.
    • Existing units also receive new attack animation sequences, such as the Cybuster's Akashic Buster and the Twin Bird Strike combination attack, performed by the Wild Wurger and Wild Falken.

Storyline

The Shadow-Mirror is destroyed, the Inspectors are defeated and the threat of the Einst is over. Although it appears the Earth can enjoy a relative peace, something dark and sinister looms over the horizon. A relatively small and unknown conglomerate, Wong Heavy Industries, introduces its new mech for the Earth Federation Army, the VTX-001 Bartoll. However, as this unit is mass-produced, large number of civilians around the world go missing and giant, humanoid machines not of Earth origin appear out of nowhere and attack Asakusa City.

Like before, mysterious beings behind the shadows are at work again, along with strange, new forces distorting the laws of physics, space-time and reality. As former heroes confront these turn of events, new ones will emerge to stand up alongside them against the darkness. Familiar faces make a return, while some will appear most unexpectedly, as the Earth and its citizens find itself yet in another struggle for freedom and destiny...
