The English translation, theappealing series list, and the overall high quality of the game explainSuper Robot Wars T’s success. True,SRW Tpartly recycles certain animations from past games, but this is an understandable compromise so that nearly every mecha unit in the game has gorgeous animation. Moreover, throughits story,characters, orvoice acting,anyone can feel while playing it than an incredible amount of work was put into it. According to seiyuu Tomokazu Sugita, the game’s success is also thanks to the huge amount of “cool old guys” characters included in the game, and how even side-characters like the Eldora Team fromGun x Swordhave a lot of lines.
