I respect the opinion of my fellow player and reviewer. However, he has made, what I feel, is a major mistake in opinion. He points out in the lower cons section that the characters are one dimensional and cliched. I need to say...WELL YAH!!!!
Tech Romancer is for that poor sad fool in us all that can't get enough giant robots crushing everything that moves and beating the stuffing out of each other. And while I am not totally litterate in the whole Giant Robot fighting game genre, I know a good fighting game from another. Tech Romancer is a good fighting game.
With twelve robots to choose from, including hidden mecha, Tech Romancer promises to have something for every one. Each mech is a un-embarrased rip off of some mech Anime, from Evangelion to Battletech. Each is also fully fleshed out, with the Macross esque robot having three forms and the Evangelion Angel boss having cross topped attacks. The weapons each brings to bear are also wonderfully stolen, like the Gundam flying drones. Its brutally fun to use the "mech" from your favorite anime to smash everything.
There is a lot to say about the fighting style and various modes but the Editor Review manages to cover most of it. I just really want to speak about the Story mode which my fellow reviewer found so poor. Yah...its campy. And yah, the cliches are so thick, you could cut them with a knife. But that is the point. The Macross style story line has the awesome pilot falling in love with the enemy, remenicent of Max and Miriya in the Series. And the Gundam style storyline is just as recognizable. The game producers were not trying to make some new world of anime, they were using everyone elses. Thats what makes it great. You get to play the stories. They ain't perfect, but its pretty fun in and of itself.
