I finally wrapped up my fourth playthrough of Super Robot
Wars Alpha 3 last week, almost exactly as I predicted when I started this run
in late February. It took me around 55 hours over the course of a month to
finish, marking my return to the game after a 14-year gap.
To be honest, this kind of commitment isn’t as easy as it used to be. Back in my college years, I could pour endless energy into long RPG sessions without a second thought. That’s no longer the case—but even so, I’m genuinely glad I followed through. This run felt like a proper homage to one of the most legendary titles in the SRW franchise.
More than just a revisit, this playthrough will also serve as a deep refresh of my understanding of Alpha 3’s storyline, something that will be reflected, at least in part, throughout this post.
