The verdict
A huge, fan-service-packed mecha crossover with great animations and music, but very easy and long-winded. Skip it if you want real tactical challenge or don't care about the featured anime.

Mecha anime fans who want crossover fan service, flashy attack animations and a very long, relaxed campaign
Main risk
Shallow, very easy and repetitive gameplay over 100+ missions, plus crashes with no autosave
