Description
Giant robots from varied eras clash in epic mecha combat in this Capcom Dreamcast Tech Romancer. Published by Capcom, released in Europe in November 1999. Mecha robot fighting game with historical characters piloting giant machines, enriched combo system, visuals faithful to super robots. European version.
The European version of Capcom's mecha fighter, known in Japan as Choukou Senki Kikaioh, with its super-robot cast and manga animation. The PAL run was limited for a niche title, making it less common than most of the publisher's fighters. Its appeal builds on the overall value of the Capcom Dreamcast library and on the draw of robot-themed fighting fans.
Is Tech Romancer still worth playing in 2026?
A giant-robot versus by Capcom, Tech Romancer pays tribute to mecha of every era with a cast that riffs on Mazinger, Gundam and Evangelion alike. The spectacular battles, destructible scenery and very anime staging give it a unique cachet in the publisher's fighting catalog. The system lacks competitive depth and the models have aged, but the robot-pilot thrill stays real. A tasty pick for fans of mecha and offbeat arcade versus games.
