In the game's story, a new calamity comes from the moon and a cross gate, and the soldiers must fight against the calamity. The game will feature both a "Beginner's Mode" and a "Guidance Scenario" in-game instruction guide that will allow those who have never played the franchise before to play the game.

The game is the first project in the franchise's 25th anniversary celebration, and is also the latest entry in the franchise's OG (Original Generation) line, which focuses on original robots and characters as opposed to existing ones from anime. The second project in the 25th anniversary celebration is the Super Robot Taisen V (Super Robot Wars V) game, which will ship in Japan on 2017. Bandai Namco Entertainment is also planning a localized English, Traditional Chinese, and Korean release for the Super Robot Wars V game in Asia.
