For me:

  1. Super Robot Wars (Gameboy)

  2. Berserk Millennium Falcon Arc: Chapter of the Holy Demon War (Mouthful, PS2)

  3. Gundam Battle Assault (PSX)

I love Super Robot Wars, it’s the perfect you got peanut butter in my chocolate game. It mixes a dozen different giant mecha ips into a tactical roleplaying game.

Berserk on the ps2 is awesome. It takes the musou formula but imo makes it something much more engaging, plus it faithfully retells the best arc of the manga.

GBA is a great 2D fighter by natsume, carries on the tradition of the gundam wing game for the super famicom but this time on a 32bit system.

    From what I remember, the reviews around the Berserk musou game were kinda mid, but the game journalism industry tends to hate on the subgenre so idk. The latest One Piece musou game is supposed to be very good though

      I’ve heard the same but that comic is toooooooooo long for me to want to start. That, and Oda still being buddies with Watsuki doesn’t help lol.

        Oda keeps flipping a coin to decide if he should write a really good chapter today or do some insane shit. I hate that the mf can’t just write about cool pirates, and instead decides to say something shitty or draw nami with bigger booba and legs that go ALLLLLL the way up

        One Piece is very good but I can’t blame anyone for not wanting to approach it lol. It reads very quickly but it’s still 1000+ chapters. Also I hadn’t heard about him being buddies with that sicko - I’m disappointed but not surprised considering the nature of the manga industry…
