Gameplay

edit

NEOis the firstSuper Robot Warstitle to appear on theWii.NEOcarries on fromSuper Robot Wars GCandSuper Robot Wars XOby using 3D models for the battle animations, rather than the standard 2D sprite animation which theSuper Robot Warsseries is known for.NEOalso stands out as the many anime series featured were shows aimed at a younger audience, three of the titles making a debut:Haō Taikei Ryū Knight,NG Knight Lamune & 40andShippū! Iron Leagueroriginated in the early-to-mid-90s "chibi robo" style of robot anime marketed to children, in which the robots were presented withsuper-deformedproportions. Most of theEldran seriesalso make their first appearance in this game.

Super Robot Wars NEOintroduces many new gameplay features to theSuper Robot Warsfranchise, such as a gridless map system, wherein movement is displayed as a radius as opposed to a number of squares on the grid. Movement is possible in any direction, terrain barriers and blocking units notwithstanding.

NEOalso introduces a new battle system, in which most common attacks take place on the map instead of cutting away to the battle screen. Additionally, terrain barriers such as walls can restrict the range of many attacks. Certain attacks have effects that directly influence the map: attacking all targets in a straight line while moving the attacker past them, travelling over terrain barriers to hit enemies behind them, or pushing enemies back, possibly incurring damage if they hit walls or are pushed off ledges.
