What is SRWCF?
SRWCF is a fan-made game based off the successful tactical RPG series Super Robot Wars. Utilizing the SRC engine a small team of mecha loving social outcasts with far too much time on their hands are capable of hamhandedly putting together a fully functioning tactical RPG game of their own. A game they claim to be nothing more than a placeabo for circle jerking but it's actually turned out to be pretty fun.
More information can be found on the development team blogspot located here along with patches, bug fixes and the actual game itself.
What the hell is the Tsukuyomi Task Force?
As with all good Super Robot Wars games you're given the chance to name your ragtag mishmash group of death dealing robots and mecha so that the powers of the world and the greater cosmos can yell out your name and quake in fear.
For our run thorugh SRWCF the combined recruitable allied forces will be known as the Tsukuyomi Task Force, or TTF for short.
As for the blog itself it will serve as a run down of play through experience of someone not part of development in anyway, provide critique, a thorough detailed look at mission structure, units and delve deeper beyond the face value of the game into some of the things some people don't really know about.
Why not just make a wiki?
FUUUUUUUU-
Okay I'll bite what's there to blog about?
Flags- Flags god damn everywhere. Some obvious others not so. Flags can effect a ton of things such as recuitable characters, additional dialogue, mission completion rewards and secret units. With such a large cast of original characters thrown into the mix keeping track of these flags can be somewhat difficult and mysterious which is why this blog is here.
Customization- The level of customization in SRWCF can be comparable to that of the more recent Super Robot Wars Original Generations series, perhaps even more so with the addition of being able to load up your units with a variety of thrusters, engine blocks, armor, weaponry, shielding and so on. This allows you to tweak each unit individually to an extent opening up different methords of tackling a problem.
Similar to
New Serieses- Despite still taking onboard some more flagship serieses like the original Gundam and Getter series CF will be introducing some lesser known titles yet to be included in any of the real SRW games. This includes the untranslated MUV LUV Alternative, Vandread and Halo (Herp a Derp).
Originals- The originals in this SRW number a great deal and despite a few being nothing more than a collection of cut and paste schticks they're actually well rounded individuals and somewhat entertaining.
Anything else to add?
Holy heck it's actually good. Sure it's not on a super polished professional level but it's playable and somewhat entertaining to a grind junkie or someone who just wants a quick tactical RPG fix.
There's some good work and alot of time put into this and it shows.
