Super Robot Taisen Goes To School

Namco Bandai is borrowing the campus RPG setting for a Super Robot Taisen spin-off called Super Robot Academy. After the arrival of intergalactic invaders and countless wars, an academy was created to train future leaders. This game is about them.

Famitsu has pictures of the robots, which will later be a key reason why the game won’t be localized. That’s OK.
