Super Robot Wars/OG2/Ver.A
Super Robot Wars OG2: Ver. A refers to ROM hacks that swap Lamia's and Axel's roles in the story. The "A" in the hack's name stands for "Axel". For Axel fans who were disappointed with his non-playablilty in OG2, these hacks may be worth a look.
Super Robot Wars OG2: Ver. A (Soulgain)
Some of the changes made in this hack include:
- Axel and his Soulgain are playable.
- Soulgain's stats are appropriate for that of a playable unit. https://i.imgur.com/s51CKbW.png
- Lamia becomes an antagonist.
- Some pilots start in different units.
- For example, Bullet starts in a Gespenst Mk.II S instead of a Huckebein Mk.II.
- Pilots who start in mass-produced units start out with additional weaponry.
- New BGM added to the game.
- And a number of other things, including changes to the storyline. You'll have to play it to find out what those changes are!
