Another Century's Episode 2 (Challenge Run): Op-11 Assault on Giganos Secret Weapons Factory
0A pair of solo launches, and our first time using the Repair option for one of our machines. It's kind of expensive, but since we aren't doing any upgrades, we have lots of points to spare. Also, Gai gets to meet his ideal self... who is also voiced by Tomokazu Seki. Unfortunately, Domon is too busy looking for someone to be able to join us.
Challenge Rules:
ACE Difficulty
No stat upgrades (units have base stats for the whole game)
Special/Combo upgrades only on units that get Custom Upgrades (like the Dragonar units)
Reuse units/forms only when necessary (chain missions count as one use)
Another Century's Episode 2 is a 2006 follow-up/sequel to the original game, produced by Banpresto and developed by From Software. ACE 2 takes the fanfiction-style crossover narrative of Super Robot Wars and combines it with an arcade shooter style action game, likely inspired by games like Virtual On. Featuring machines and characters from 14 different anime series in addition to original designs, ACE 2 is a solid improvement on the baseline established by the original Another Century's Episode.
