. Story
Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier is set across a
variety of worlds, ranging from an apocalyptic wasteland covered
with the hulks of downed spaceships to a fantastical place of
fairy tales and dark magic. Join Haken Browning: slinger,
professional bounty hunter, and amateur ladies' man, along with
his motley crew of robots, were-beasts, secret agents, and busty
princesses as they delve deep into the mysteries of how their
worlds came to be and face a threat that imperils the multiverse.
Battle
While engaged in combat in Endless Frontier players utilize
every character available, but only four characters will be
acting as front-line fighters. Use the formation option to
rearrange your party, where characters in the front will be the
ones getting up-close and personal with enemies, and characters
in the back will be available to provide support for attacks.
During a battle each character will make use of HP, SP and COM.
HP is the character's . When it is down to zero the
character is knocked out and can't be used in battle until
revived. If all four characters in front are knocked out, you've
lost the battle and the game is over. SP is used for skills and
spirit commands. These provide a variety of useful effects like
healing or special attacks that deal status effects to enemies.
COM is what allows you to perform attacks each turn. Each attack
a character makes has an associated COM cost. More damaging
attacks require more COM and if a character doesn't have enough
COM to continue her/his attack sequence, the turn ends. Each
character regains some COM every turn, and some items or spirit
commands will refresh a character's COM as well.
Hit Count and Combos
Every time you strike an enemy, that enemy will be lifted off
the ground slightly. As long as the enemy is in the air each
successive hit will add to the hit count. The higher the hit
count, the more damage you'll do in a series of attacks. In
addition, your chance of getting critical hits increases in
direct proportion to the current length of the combo. Critical
hits deal a lot of damage. To keep your hit count high, use
careful timing to chain your characters' attacks together into an
unstoppable tidal wave of pain. These tricks will keep you
fighting at the top of your game.
Chain Attacks
While one of your characters is attacking, if the next
characters to attack is another one of your characters, you can
begin the second character's turn before the first has completely
finished his attacks. This might seem wasteful, but it lets the
second character jump right into combat and begin attacking while
the enemy is still being juggled from the attacks of the first
character, further increasing the hit count and dealing more
damage through critical hits. You'll also get a boost to the
frontier gauge, making it even easier to use overdrive attack
more often.
Support Attacks
Characters in the back row can still help you out, even if
they're not part of the fighting force. Call upon those members
of the party to use support attacks, during which they will
quickly jump into battle, deal a few hits, then leap away again.
This takes place while your party members are attacking, so you
can continue attacking on your own. Let the assisting characters
attack, or use this rtunity to chain in more characters to
extend the combo even further.
