Plot & Characters

Depending on the player's choice, the game revolves around either "Raul Gureden" or "Fiona Gureden", the pilot to the prototype rescue unit, "Excellence", alongside co-workers "Raji Montoya" and "Mizuho Saiki". Equipped with the "Time Flow Engine" into the Excellence, the three ally with the Nadesico B or the Nahel Argama, hoping to promote their machine for funding towards further development. However, a mysterious being named "Duminuss" wishes to use the Time Flow Engine for its own purposes. Things take a turn for the worse when Raul/Fiona are accidentally sent to the past, where they have to make a decision to let history flow as it is, or attempt to correct the events leading to the present, in order for a better future.

*Raul Gureden
**The male protagonist, Raul is an optimistic pilot who believes in the path he walks. He shows a lot of affection for Mizuho, but is inexperienced in terms of showing his feelings for her.
*Fiona Gureden
**The female protagonist, she is Raul's female counterpart. Fiona keeps a close relationship with Raji Montoya, but somehow feels her position as a pilot hinders his research for the Time Flow Engine.
*Raji Montoya
**A researcher on the Time Flow Engine, Raji is responsible for handling and controling the technology built into the Excellence. This energy otaku has a close friendship with Fiona.
*Mizuho Saiki
**The mechanic behind the Excellence, Mizuho is the developer behind the many frames the unit can utilize.

Original Robots

"Main Article": Excellence (Mecha)

Unique to the protagonist machine is the ability to change into a variety of frames suited for different forms of combat and terrain. These frames include "Cosmodriver" (space), "Striker" (melee), "Gunner" (long-range), "Flyer" (air) and "Diver" (water). The final frame, depending on the chosen protagonist, is the "Lightning" (Raul) and "Eternal" (Fiona).

Noteworthy

*The first game to feature a multi, frame-changing Banpresto Original machine.
*The only Banpresto-related title to place After War Gundam X's plot "not" in a post-apocalyptic setting (Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden and Another Century's Episode 3 did, and Super Robot Wars Z is unknown, however).

Connection To The Original Generation Universe

With the release of Super Robot Wars Original Generations, elements from Super Robot Wars Reversal were carried over to the Original Generation storyline. However, some changes were established, in order to keep continuity:

*Unlike Reversal, Fiona exists alongside Raul, now as his slightly, younger twin sister.
*Two Excellence units exist, each for Raul and Fiona, rather than one. However, the "Gunner" and "Diver" frames do not appear at all.
*Reversal's antagonist, Duminuss, is more humanized and less condescending in the Original Generation universe. This is credited to the fact its creator called this version a failed product, dubbed "Dynamis3". Therefore, it is assumed that this Duminuss is not the same one as its Reversal counterpart.
