The Good: Long, involving storyline features a great cast of characters (and giant robots!); entertaining turn-based strategy battles laced with role-playing elements; exciting animations and some excellent music liven up the presentation; two selectable main characters make for a lot of added replay value.
The Bad: Convoluted plot and interface make the game difficult to get into; the underlying combat starts to feel repetitive before the story's over.
"Basically, then, SRT: Original Generation takes Fire Emblem's cavaliers, knights, and archers and replaces them with giant robots, space battleships, and futuristic aircraft. Unlike in Fire Emblem, should one of your giant robots get blown up during a given mission, that doesn't mean it's permanently destroyed; apparently, they're just that tough. This makes the game quite forgiving for the most part, though there are a few difficult missions here and there, and the last few battles against some of the game's strongest opponents are particularly tricky and drawn out. Overall, the game presents a good level of challenge and an enjoyable, long ride that you could happily come back to for a while longer. Kyosuke, one of the game's many endearing characters, inspires his fellow soldiers to place some big bets by putting their lives on the line when the stakes are high. In the spirit of that advice, you'd be wise to consider taking a chance on an unlikely little game such as this."
Good to see that Atlus is keeping the GBA alive
