Dai-4-Ji Super Robot Taisen is one of those SNES games that makes you feel like a kid again—assuming you grew up obsessed with giant robots. You start off staring at a grid map, picking your squad from a ridiculous roster of mechs pulled straight from classic anime. Mazinger Z, Gundam, Getter Robo—they’re all here, and figuring out who works together is half the fun.

The battles are turn-based but surprisingly fast-paced. Watching your robots clash with enemy units feels like flipping through an old-school anime fight scene, complete with flashy attack animations. Some of the sprites are tiny, but when your super move lands, the screen erupts in explosions and laser beams. It’s pure 90s mecha chaos.

Fair warning: the menus are all in Japanese, but if you’ve played any SRPG before, you’ll pick it up fast. Just don’t expect a deep story unless you’re fluent—this is all about the robot-on-robot action. The soundtrack slaps, though. That synth-rock battle theme still gets stuck in my head.

If you’ve ever wanted to pit your favorite anime robots against each other in tactical combat, this is the game for you.
