Description
Giant robots from varied eras clash in epic mecha combat in this Capcom Dreamcast Tech Romancer. Published by Capcom, released in the United States in March 2000. Mecha robot fighting game with historical characters piloting giant machines, enriched combo system, visuals faithful to super robots. American version.
The US edition of Capcom's mecha fighter, adapting Choukou Senki Kikaioh in the spirit of licensed super robots. Released late in the console's North American life, it saw a brief run and a contained pressing. Its appeal rests on the relative scarcity of mecha fighters on Dreamcast and the steady appetite of collectors for Capcom fighting games, whose value keeps climbing.
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.
