edit ] Gameplay
The protagonists can punch or use some of their technical power (which is the equivalent to magic points for robots) to fire their futuristic laser beams  at the opposing forces (robotic,  humanoid, or otherwise). The rewards of destroying monsters  are  experience points  and additional credits. Having enough experience points results in an experience level increase. After gaining another level, the hit points and technical power points of the robots are refilled. Items are collected in treasure chests like in normal role-playing games.

Hero Senki is famous for its initial appearance of the Gespenst and cameos of Masaki Andoh (Cybuster) and Shu Shirakawa (Granzon) from Super Robot Wars. Because of this, many references can be found in more recent Super Robot Wars  games such as Elpis in  Original Generations  and Gespenst's second appearance in Super Robot Wars as the original protagonist's initial robot.
