Another Century's Episode 2 (Challenge Run): Op-20 New Battleship "Macross" Launch Ceremony
I promise there will be fewer Aestivalis in some of the future missions. However, the game didn't exactly give me any Valkyries to work with when fighting the Zentrodie for the first time. Honestly it was kind of down to luck that I was even able to protect the Macross long enough. And this isn't our last difficult protection mission.
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.
