The robots use their original SD designs, and battle scenes are handled with an eye to 1991's style, letting you enjoy a burst of nostalgia as you play.
Just like the original, the robots aren't piloted, but can still attempt to "Convince" enemies and recruit them to your side.
Along with all 13 original stages, there's also a new second scenario added.
