Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Masou Kishin III - Pride of Justice arrived in 2013 from Banpresto and quickly stood out among strategy RPGs. The game continues the Masou Kishin line with familiar pilots facing new threats in a world where ancient machines and modern warfare collide. Battles feel weighty, each turn carrying real consequences as units maneuver across detailed maps.
Banpresto leaned into the series strengths here. Customization options let players tweak robots in meaningful ways, while the narrative branches based on choices made during key missions. Some routes reward aggressive play, others favor careful positioning and support tactics. The mix keeps sessions engaging even after multiple playthroughs.
Visually the title shows its age yet the sprite work and animations still carry charm. Explosions pop, special attacks linger on screen with satisfying flair, and the soundtrack shifts from tense themes to soaring heroic tracks without missing a beat. Voice acting adds personality to the cast, making certain characters memorable long after the credits roll.
What sets Pride of Justice apart is its focus on legacy. Returning figures from earlier entries bring history that new players can grasp through context clues, while veterans enjoy seeing how old rivalries evolve. The pacing stays deliberate, giving room for both story beats and tactical puzzles to breathe.
Overall the 2013 Banpresto release delivers a solid entry in the Super Robot Taisen OG Saga series. Fans of grid-based combat and robot anime will find plenty to enjoy, especially if they appreciate games that reward planning over button mashing.
