SUPER ROBOT WARS Y

SUPER ROBOT WARS Y plays on the Mac at 60 fps, as on the Switch. Tested from the first-run screens through a new game, the first map, the start of the second, saving and continuing after a restart, and the start of the Anniversary Expansion. No iPhone or iPad app has been built yet.

How it runs

The title and the attract battles it plays when left alone run, as does a new game. On the first map, a battle played by hand works, and Auto played the rest of the map and the start of the second. A manual save works, and Continue picks up the autosave after a restart.

Memory came to at most about 2.7 GB over 40 minutes of the first maps, with no growth. Later chapters have not been measured. The game's movies have not come up on any route tested so far, so their playback is untested.

Bring update 1.4.1

Tested with update 1.4.1. Put it in the same folder as the base game before you Pack; the base game alone has not been tested. In testing, ten add-on content packages loaded with the game.

Controls

The Packed app starts in the 2D touch layout.

• Hold B to skip a scene. A tap of B closes tutorial popups, which A does not.
• On a map, A on an empty cell opens a menu with End Phase, and Plus opens Save, Load, System and To Title Screen.
• The cursor moves one cell per press, along the map's own grid.
• Minus turns Auto on: the game then plays your side, and only dialogue and popups need a press.

Good to know

• One scene reached through Continue could not be skipped and advanced only with A.
• The menu's Load has not been tried; Continue has.
• The controls have been tested only with scripted presses, not with a controller or keyboard.
• Tested on update 1.4.1. Other versions may behave differently.
