Super Robot Wars A is a role-playing game released in 2001 for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Banpresto.

It belongs to the GBA's earliest wave of games. Other notable GBA releases from 2001 include Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Sonic Advance and Advance Wars.

It is part of the Super Robot Wars series; on the GBA you can also try Super Robot Wars R, Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2 and Super Robot Wars J. The series also appears on other systems with Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier (DS) and Super Robot Wars W (DS). Banpresto also made Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation for the GBA.

Super Robot Wars A is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for an epic journey (20+ hours of adventure)

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
  • you are looking for something to play with friends
  • you only have a few minutes at a time

What playing Super Robot Wars A is like

Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.

Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
