A Plusle and Minun Review: Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier

Welcome to Plusle and Minun Reviews. You may be asking yourself why I chose these two as the face of my reviews, allow me to elaborate. Plusle (left) and Minun (right) hail from the world Pokemon and bear a striking resemblance to the license’s well known face: Pikachu. The obvious difference of course is that one has a positive appearance and the other a negative one.

By now, you’re probably scratching your head wondering, while that’s all nice and good, what does that have to do with a review? Simple. As opposed to most reviews you will find on video games, Plusle and Minun reviews are short but sweet, positives and negatives of a specific game with an overall letter grade. Rather than read pages of text, most people just want to know is it a good game? What’s good about it? And what’s not so good? Plusle and Minun Reviews is just that - a quick and easy list of the good as well as the bad. Additionally, there will always be a trailer at the end for all of you to check out because I know how much you all love trailers. With all that said and done, enjoy.

Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier
Boobs, robots, and cowboys. Oh my.

The Good:

+ An entertaining cast of characters, with plenty of personality and
enough charm that they will end up growing on you by the end of the
game.

+ KOS-MOS from Xenosaga is a recruitable character.

+ While a bit slow, a tad predictable in some places, and questions tend to be brought up more than answers, an enjoyable story nonetheless that doesn’t overstay its welcome.

+ Combat’s the main draw here with a deep and engaging combat system
rooted in foe juggling and massive amounts of damage.

+ Robots. Lots and lots of robots.

+ Graphics won’t win any awards but they work and are a fine example of 2D goodness.

+ If you enjoy boob jokes, you’ll be in heaven.

The Bad:

- If you don’t enjoy boob jokes, the dialogue might seem a little immature to you.

- Boss battles tend to drag on too long (20+ minutes).

- Why does asking for information from someone always have to entail
proving yourself to them? (Which we all know means a boss fight)

- More enemy/boss variety would have been nice - standard rpg-fare color palatte
changed enemies and multiple boss rematches.

- Music can get a bit repetitive with a limited tracklist.

- Forced Evasions, enemies blocking your attacks, can be grating on the
nerves.

Overall Rating: B
