Overall thoughts
I’m pretty glad we’re getting yet another localised SRW, even if I do find the included series a bit uninspiring. This will be one of the very few SRW games that doesn’t have any Getter Robo.
Quite bummed out by the lack of Iron Blooded Orphans but it doesn’t look like it would fit in story wise.
Also the OG Mazinkaiser is a bit of a surprise, but having ZERO in the same game? I feel that’s a bit redundant. Does that mean one of them will be shelved late game?

Super Robot Wars X PS4 (English)
i am thinking that Mazinger ZERO will have compete with the OG Mazinkaiser
The roster here is… strange, to say the least. Mazingers everywhere, no Getter, no Gundam Unicorn, 00 or Seed (usual repeats in main series games), and with debuting series I’m not familiar with, besides G Reco. Also, lots of recycled stuff from Z3 and V due to the short development time (barely over a year).
I think this game is going to be similar to V: A solid game, but nothing that’s going to blow your mind. Despite this, I’ll enjoy seeing Mazinkaiser and Mazin Emperor G vs ZERO.
