Super Robot Wars V

Similar to the previous entries in the series, Super Robot Wars V is a Tactical RPG game with story elements and utilizes the same graphics engine seen in 3rd Super Robot Wars Z, but with an inclusion of a 3d isometric map unlike its predecessor. It follows the same basic structure as in previous games: when a stage begins, the character receives introductory dialogue between playable characters, leading to the scenario on the battlefield. To complete a scenario, the player must accomplish scenario objectives. Some scenarios are longer, with multi-part missions or have new objectives added as the story unfolds.

On battlefield, the player and enemy take turns to order their units with commands available, such as movement, attacking, forming squads and casting "Spirit Commands", a set of magic-like spells unique to each pilot. Once the scenario is cleared, more dialogue is exchanged between characters before the player is taken to an intermission menu. Here, units can be upgraded or optional parts installed, characters' stats and skills can be changed or upgraded, and other maintenance actions can be performed before the player continues on with the game.

The creation of the first unified government over all humanity, the Earth Federation, marked the beginning of a new era: New Correct Century, and the beginning of humanity's expansion into space. However, it was also said to be the beginning of a new era of war. The battle between Earthnoids and Spacenoids that began with the One Year War raged on through Char's Rebellion, giving way to the so-called 10 Year Void, a decade-long gap in recorded history.

A century has passed since then, and after the end of the Jupiter War, the Earth Federation was invaded by an alien species known as the "Gamillas". The Gamillas established a forward base on Pluto, and launched planet bombs at Earth. The planet bombs destroyed the space colonies and devastated Earth. The oceans were evaporated, the air was polluted, and the survivors were forced to retreat to shelters deep underground. Scientists estimated that only one year remained before humanity's extinction.

First announced at the 25th Anniversary Live Event alongside Super Robot Wars Original Generation: The Moon Dwellers, Super Robot Wars V continues the trend of the series for being a crossover tactical role-playing game featuring various mecha anime series from other studios. It is also announced in the live event that it is the second game in the series to officially receive an English release in Asia and the first game in series to be given a C rating by CERO. In addition to the enhanced animation and graphics seen in 3rd Super Robot Wars Z: Celestial Prison Chapter, the game also includes a cross-save feature like the previous entry.

The game itself marks a lot of new entries to the series and also a lot of returns. The game marks the return of both Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ and Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam into the series proper, the first introduction of the second Brave Series into the game in the form of The Brave Express Might Gaine, and the debut of a non-mecha space opera anime series into the game in the form of Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2199,. However, the game marked as the first Super Robot Wars game to not include a series animated by Toei Animation.

Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu rated the game a 34/40, With the game itself selling more than 500,000 Copies in both Japan and Asia. Destructoid gave it a 7.5/10, praising for the game being a "love letter to the featured series. It's beautifully animated, and it has fun with the shows while remaining respectful to the source material." However it was criticized for lack of challenge stating "It's just a shame that despite all that, the challenge isn't there, and for the length that it runs, that's just not acceptable. If you come for the fanservice, you'll have a great time, but if you're looking for a challenging strategy game, it may be best to look elsewhere."

It was awarded the "Gold Prize" award by Sony at the 2018 PlayStation Awards.
