[edit] Plot & Characters

Super Robot Wars Destiny takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, prominently after the beginning of Getter Robo Armageddon, where a nuclear explosion wipes out the majority of humanity. While other factions are doing their own activities, they are shocked to discover that the Earth was sealed, having disappeared from the face of the universe. The protagonist group must find out the reason about the sealing and how to prevent it. On course of the journey, the player will engage against the antagonistic Ruina, a destructive race bent on seeing the rest of the universe in ruins.

  • Joshua Radcliff is the male protagonist of the game. A former member of the Universal Century Nations and Factions#League Militaire, his father was a workaholic scientist, and Joshua has mixed feelings on the topic of him, knowing that he was both an intelligent man, and an immoral researcher, having used his adoptive sister as a lab experiment, uncaring of her physical and mental conditioning. He is shocked to discover it was his father who was partly responsible for bringing forth the Ruina from their underground habitat, and resolved to amend his father's wrongdoings. He is usually referred as Josh.
  • Cliana Rimskaya is the female protagonist of the game. The adoptive sister to Joshua, the apocalyptic event in Getter Robo Armageddon traumatized her mind, leading her to develop a dual-personality: Chris, a soft-hearted, gentle girl, and Liana, a tough, stoic woman, who is the dominant personality, when Cliana is inside the cockpit of her machine. Usually addressed as Rim (in order to summarize the person in general, not the two personalities, she seems to have a weird sense of taste in food.
  • Clifford Gygax is a non-playable character, who provides support and knowledge for both Joshua and Cliana. He used to work alongside Joshua's father in his research.

The game also includes two secret characters, former Ruina generals that are recruitable to the player's side. Both characters are exclusive to each routes, depending on which protagonist is picked. Recruiting one of the secret character bars the possibility to have the other protagonist rejoin you.

  • Glacies is the secret character for Joshua and Cliana's route. As her name suggests, she controls the element of ice (Glacies means ice in Latin).
  • Ventos is the secret character for Cliana's route. Though not stated clearly, it is suggested that he controls the element of wind. Unlike Glacies, Ventos does not appear in Joshua's route.

[edit] Game Fitur

  • The first Super Robot Wars to integrate the Chain Attack system, where enemy units lined up in a row can be simultaneously attacked with designated melee attacks.
  • Noted to be biased towards real robots, instead of super robots. The defensive rating for super robots is rendered insignificant, in that these units will take the same amount of damage as real robots, eliminating their advantage of tanking by absorbing damage.
