"Classic"
The online edition of Capcom's mecha versus, Choukou Senki Kikaioh for Matching Service keeps its bright super-robot-anime aesthetic: giant shonen-designed robots, spectacular hits and emphatic staging in 3D arenas. Explosions, super attacks and heroic poses still pay homage to classic mecha series. A generous visual treat, extended by connected play.
Gameplay
"Solid"
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
Giant robots, oversized attacks and staging worthy of a Saturday-morning anime: every clash feels like a final showdown. The fun springs from this unbridled spectacle where you fire off supers with no restraint. Wild, colourful and generous, this mecha versus stays a gleeful blast best shared by two.

The Matching Service edition of Capcom's Kikaioh (Tech Romancer), built for online play through the Japanese Dreamcast network's matchmaking service. Its appeal rests on that fleeting technical specificity: a mecha fighter designed around a long-dead online service, in a limited Japanese run. Sought by Capcom Dreamcast completists and mecha fighting fans, more for its networked singularity than for any major content differences from the standard release.
Is Choukou Senki Kikaioh for Matching Service still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2000 on Dreamcast in Japan, this Capcom robot fighting game, known in the West as Tech Romancer, adopts an animated series staging. The three dimensional arenas, the super powered attacks and the colourful pilots set a wholeheartedly heroic tone. The readable duels and the story mode make it a generous experience. The technical depth stays limited against genre benchmarks, yet mecha lovers and fans of the Capcom label find a spectacular, sincere fight.
