Super Robot Wars Gaiden: The Elemental Lords English translation
スーパーロボット大戦外伝 魔装機神 THE LORD OF ELEMENTAL · Super Robot Taisen Gaiden: Masou Kishin - The Lord of Elemental
Aeon Genesis's full English translation of the Masaki Andoh spin-off of Super Robot Wars, with an optional patch that keeps unit themes playing on the map.
What it is
This Super Famicom spin-off is the Super Robot Wars game built around Masaki Andoh and Cybuster rather than a crossover of anime series, so it can be enjoyed without knowing any Gundam or Mazinger. Masaki is pulled into La Gias, a world inside the Earth, and joins the pilots of the Elemental Lords against the cult that wants to revive its god.
What's translated
The whole script was translated by TheMajinZenki and edited by Cait for Aeon Genesis. The game was reworked with a proportional font and automatic line breaks, so dialogue, menus and battle text all read in English. Version 1.05 (4 September 2018) fixes a set of typos and a blank repair screen that could appear when a destroyed unit had no pilot.
Extras
As with their Super Robot Wars 2 release, the group added a music persistence patch: the battle theme of the last unit you used keeps playing on the map, as in later games of the series. A patch to undo it is included too.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese game following the creators' instructions. Everything is on the Aeon Genesis project page.
