This game is a sequel to Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier, which improves on the previous game in many aspects.
First of all, it never got an official English release, but gladly, there is an English fan translation that was finished in 2019. So thanks to all who worked on it, without them, I wouldn't have been able to play it!
The graphics are a clear improvement over the first game, especially the overworld looks much better, and the sprite work is still fantastic.
The gameplay is still very similar to the first game, and again, I really like it.
Regarding the characters and the main cast, I think it's pretty good. Alongside the old characters, we have some great new additions, like MOMO from Xenosaga. (It's fantastic to see her together with KOS-MOS, I love Xenosaga and always when I see Saga characters in other games, it's just really great and makes me happy. Yeah, I think you can tell that I'm a big Xenosaga fan from all the reviews I've done for the crossover games that have KOS-MOS in them.)
My only problem were the new protagonists, Aledy Nashe and Neige Hausen, I didn't think they were nearly as interesting as Haken Browning and Kaguya Nanbu in the first game. Especially, Aledy didn't really leave an impression on me. But this wasn't really an issue, because Haken and Kaguya still have a very important role in this game, and when we get Haken as a playable character, it almost feels like he's again the main protagonist, which I honestly think is good because, imo, he's a much more interesting and fitting character. I guess it would've been better if they didn't have Aledy as a protagonist in the first place.
The humour and story are also really enjoyable. I think you can really see in this sequel, that the developers tried to improve on the previous game in every way, and I think they mostly succeeded. Overall, I had more fun with the sequel, and if you liked the first one, it's definitely worth checking this one out!
I'd also like to see more smaller projects like this from Monolithsoft in the future. So with these two games, they did a pretty good job, in my opinion.
