‘Super Robot Wars Y’ Gets A Demo And A Shiny New Trailer

‘Super Robot Wars Y’ is released on August 28.

Bandai Namco

With Super Robot Wars Y released at the end of this month, a demo has been released today along with a new trailer.

The demo is like previous instalments in the series, and has save data that carries over to the main game. You only get to play Chapter 1 in the demo, but it should be enough for you to make a call on whether the game is for you or not.

The new trailer, alongside the demo release, shows more of the game in action, too, from lovely new battle animations to more character-building aspects between missions (shown below).

For me, I’m all in for the Aura Battler Dunbine and Heavy Metal L-Gaim units, especially as Dunbine will also include its later OVA offspring, with their full-on and suitably gorgeous mecha designs by Yutaka Izubuchi.

The trailer shows off more about the game’s DLC, pre-order bonuses, and the varying versions of the game you can get.

Like previous recent releases in the series, there’s also a premium music download pack. This affords the original music from the various host anime to play in the background as your respective mecha curb-stomp their targets.

It’s worth noting that if you’re into video capture and general streaming, you’ll want to turn off the anime songs in the background in favor of the game variants. Otherwise, you will get multiple music-related copyright strikes.

In the meantime, if you are entirely new to the mecha crossover phenomenon that is Super Robot Wars, then feel free to check out my reviews for Super Robot Wars V, X, T, and 30.

Super Robot Wars Y will be released on August 28 for Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC, via Steam.
