Dai-2-ji Super Robot Taisen Alpha (PS2) price, value & rarity
Is Dai-2-ji Super Robot Taisen Alpha still worth playing in 2026?
A tactical RPG from Banpresto, Dai-2-ji Super Robot Taisen Alpha gathers mechs from dozens of cult anime into turn based grid battles, carried by sumptuous attack animations and an ambitious crossover scenario. The pleasure of seeing robots from different series converge, the tactical depth and the staging make it a peak of the saga's Alpha branch. The busy interface, the grinding and the Japanese text close off access. An excellent game for fans of Japanese tactical RPGs and animation robots on PS2.
