Dai-2-ji Super Robot Taisen G is one of those classic Game Boy strategy RPGs where you command a squad of giant mechs straight out of anime—think Gundams and Mazinger Z duking it out in turn-based battles. The pixel art’s surprisingly detailed for a Game Boy title, and there’s something satisfying about watching your robots unleash over-the-top attacks with those crunchy sound effects.

At first, the menus feel a little dense if you don’t read Japanese, but the icons help, and once you get the hang of positioning units and managing energy, it clicks. Pro tip: don’t sleep on upgrading your pilots’ stats between missions—it makes a huge difference when enemies start ganging up on you. The music’s got that classic Super Robot Wars hype too, all chiptune fanfares and battle themes.

If you’re into retro mecha games, this one’s a solid time capsule from the ‘90s.
