Chou Super Robot Wars Æ

Chou Super Robot Wars Æ (超スーパーロボット大戦Æ Chō Supā Robotto Taisen Æ, Ultra Super Robot Wars) is a crossover mecha tactical role-playing/fighting game developed by B.B. Studio and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment for the Nintendo Switch. It was released alongside Project X Zone III: War of Infinite Worlds – Ultimate Edition in Japan on June 1, 2020 and in Asian territories on December 15, 2020 as part of 65th anniversary of Bandai Namco. The game marks the first time the series crosses over to various video games franchises such as Capcom's Tech Romancer, Namco's Xenosaga, Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog and many more. It was also the fourth game in the Super Robot Wars series to be released in North America after Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier and the first to be released on Europe.

The game was a commercial and critical success, having shipped 300,000 units in the first month of Japanese release and sold 3 million by the end of the year, being one of the highest-selling game in the Super Robot Wars franchise.

The Æ in the title stands for Æon/Aeon/Eon and the game's catchphrase is “The great war of giants of metal, transcending through eons” (時代Æon に超越する、金属の巨人達の戦).

An updated version on the PlayStation would be released a year later under the name Chou Super Robot Wars M.

Production
On June 13, 2019, Sam Imbecile, one of the head writers and developers of Project X Zone 3, stated in E3 2019 that his next game project was a midquel to Project X Zone III where its story takes place during the events of the game. He also stated that it would be as large as the massive crossover game.

On September 6, Sam posted in Twitter: "My next game project? Think of it as Super Robot Wars on steroids, ecstasy, meth, acid, viagra and cocaine." and it became most liked and re-tweeted post of the year. As such, fans of Super Robot Wars and mecha anime in general were excited to see a new game in the series where it coincides with the events of Project X Zone 3.

Two weeks later, Sam announced the release of the new SRW game which was originally the same date of release as Project X Zone III: Ultimate Edition. However, just like the case of Project X Zone 3, he had to research and marathon every anime in the mecha genre so that he could write the story of the next game, as well as play every single important Super Robot Wars game from the first to the latest. Therefore, the game became two separate ports: one to be released for the Nintendo Switch alongside the PXZ3 Ultimate Edition and a PlayStation 4 port for the Super Robot Wars' 30th anniversary.

Gameplay
Like the previous titles of the series, Chou Super Robot Wars Æ is a tactical RPG game with story elements and utilizes the same graphics engine seen in 3rd Super Robot Wars Z, Super Robot Wars V & Super Robot Wars X, but with an inclusion of a 3D isometric map unlike its predecessor.

Plot
Taking place during the events of Project X Zone 3, various worlds across the Multiverse are slowly being destroyed one by one and countless millions of lives lost in the crossfire with the suspicion that a great evil is responsible for this.

Ten years after Unicron's empire of Decepticons laid waste upon Cybertron and forced the Autobots to flee their destroyed homeworld, Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, along with his comrades who were scattered across the galaxy seeking for a new planet, visit Earth… along with a wandering seemingly-almighty source of power called the AllSpark.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Light, the Father of Ultra observes the situation of what's happening with the Multiverse and understands that the problem is probably the gravest and most dangerous anyone will ever face, so he sends his sons Taro and Leo, as well Seven, Astra and 80, to summon a grand alliance of heroes from any world they could find that had not been ravaged by the Genocide of Heroes.

After some time, a grand alliance of good is formed from the heroes of ten Earths: Time begins to run out for the Earths in both the past and the future while in the present, the Father of Ultra tells the heroes of his plan to halt the approaching antimatter waves by transporting them to various times in various Earths where they help the Ultras build Time-Space Towers by harnessing the power and technology of the AllSpark that are to be activated to save reality.

 * Earth-6C7G (Cosmic Era Earth);
 * Earth-A509 (Anno Domini Earth);

 * Earth-10O8 (Regild Century Earth);
 * Earth-233 (Advanced Generation Earth); and
 * Earth-ZY48 (Future Century Earth).

Meanwhile, Ultraman Belial, the traitor of the Ultras, is abducted by an unseen foe. The foe makes a deal with Belial, who initially refuses but after reminiscing his defeat with Ultraman Zero, he reluctantly agrees, wanting nothing less than power, revenge upon all Ultras and dominion over the universe for himself. Belial then makes an alliance with various evil factions from other universes such as the Decepticons, Dr. Hell, Baron Ashura, Mycenae Empire (Mazinger Z), Embryo (Cross Ange), the Metarex (Sonic X), the Principality of Zeon (Mobile Suit Gundam Universal Century Timeline), the Holy Britannian Empire (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion), Xiliens (Godzilla: Final Wars), Dinosaur Empire (Getter Robo), Hyakki Empire (Getter Robo G), Jark Matter (Uchu Sentai Kyuranger) and many more, as a response to combat the interdimensional alliance gathered by the Father of Ultra.

As Belial follows the commands of the hidden foe, Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu of Shinra struggle to save their Earth in the future. In the present, the Autobots and NERV (Rebuild of Evangelion) combine forces to attack a wave of anti-matter and are joined by Sänger Zonvolt, Mothra and Ultraman Zero before Reiji and Xiaomu arrives from the future; unfortunately, they are pulled away from them and abducted. Throughout time and space, the Time-Space Towers are attacked by the united legion of villains led by Belial and several heroes die protecting them.

The ten Earths suffer as the antimatter wave approaches while on Earth-1657, the protagonists of Project X Zone 3, Adam Pines and Princess Eve Butterfly, manage to save Queen Amayano who becomes the sole survivor of her universe. Ultraman King engineers the completion of the Towers, as the King and Queen of Mewni, the parents of Eve, arrive for backup and are revealed to have survived after Mewni was seemingly destroyed. As EVA Unit-13 goes berserk and initiates the Fourth Impact, Unicron and Ultraman Belial see this as an opportunity and lead an army of Angels, Decepticons, kaiju, Metarex and villains on all-out assault on the Earths as the Time-Space Towers are attacked once more. After Belial defeats Zero, he becomes one with Unicron and detonates a Time-Space Bomb, destroying Earth as a result, creating a black hole to accelerate the devastation of the antimatter wave and seemingly dooming the Multiverse forever.

However, Ultraman King used all of his power to reverse the damage Belial had caused, losing his body in the process, as King's energies drift across the Multiverse, the Time-Space Towers are activated and drag ten Earths into a limbo dimension. However, this is only a temporary solution, as they are not merging properly since the Towers were not yet ready upon activating. As a result, they would soon occupy the same vibrational space that could possibly impact with each other and destroy them all together.

A mysterious woman named Madoka, who claims to be the daughter of Reiji and Xiaomu from the future, appears and pledges to save the Multiverse. Adam, Eve and Isaac Flynn call most of the heroes to the Shinra HQ and ask them to help; uncharacteristically, many of them doubt the seriousness of the problem but eventually they all agree to help. The enemy reveals himself at last: the Lord of All Evil and Darkness, Satan. Shinra HQ comes under attack as the heroes struggle to survive; sacrificing herself, Eve uses her powers to hold steady the remaining Earths and halt the antimatter waves. Unfortunately, the three-hundred remaining worlds are being controlled by the alliance of evil, with the help of Belial, whose powers have been enhanced by Satan, guided by Evilina the Antichrist and Scheisse von Arschloch the False Prophet, and when the heroes try to help the people of the worlds, their heroes attack them and free Reiji and Xiaomu, along with some other captured heroes. Eve, however, manages to pull the 300 Earths into the same limbo dimension as the ten Earths where they will temporarily be held safe, but at the cost of her powers.

A council of heroes is called, with Adam, Eve and Isaac speaking to a delegation of the 300 mightiest from each saved Earth. Between them, they tell the history of the Multiverse, the rebellion of Satan and the true enemy behind this whole catastrophe. Eventually, a gathering of heroes is assembled and Madoka opens a portal to the Antimatter Universe. The heroes enter and are instantly attacked by Unicron the Decepticon God, which had been under Satan's control this whole time, before some of them are able to get not to Satan but to the true mastermind behind all this… the Anti-God. The heroes battle the malevolent deity as Xiaomu sacrifices her immortality to reduce the Anti-God to an energy form which forces it to retreat.
