Overview[]
Like predecessor, The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Skull Leader, this game is an isometric turn-based strategy game that includes portions reminiscent of a visual novel. The story follows a pilot named Kei Izuchi as he follows the events seen in the television series Super Dimension Fortress Macross and interacts with classic characters such as Hikaru Ichijyo, Misa Hayase, Roy Focker and many more. You also meet new characters such as D.VARMIL of Scarlet Team, ace pilot Giichi Ijuuin and potential idol Gina Perona.
One of the objectives of the visual novel part of the game is to meet one of the game's many new female characters and choose whom you can date. You meet your potential partner in the "Miss Macross" beauty pageant, and build your relationship from there. Each partner has a distinct personality, some are more serious, others are more bubbly, while some are shy.
Majority of the character art seen in-game is drawn by series artist Haruhiko Mikimoto.
