Super Robot Wars Y DLC1 Guide: Contract from Darkness

DLC 1 for Super Robot Wars Y, titled Contract from the Darkness, expands the game’s crossover universe with new mecha series, missions, and music. Here’s what you need to know about its content and how to unlock it.

Accessing DLC 1

The DLC is included in the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions of the game.
Standard Edition owners can purchase the DLC 1 & 2 Set separately.
Purchasing the set grants early access to DLC missions and bonus units.
Available on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

New Additions in DLC 1

The expansion introduces three crossover franchises:

The Big O
Galaxy Cyclone Braiger
Kamen Rider (Double, Skull, and Accel units)

Bonus Content with the DLC 1 & 2 Set

Buying the combined set unlocks Area Missions featuring returning units from past SRW titles:

Xelguard (from SRW X) – Piloted by Iori Iolite and Amari Aquamarine, with Hopes as a sub-pilot.
Tyranado (from SRW T) – Piloted by Saizo Tokito or Sagiri Sakurai.
Tyranado Rex – Upgraded Tyranado with Ramy Amasaki as a sub-pilot.

Dialogue choices in these missions let players select which character becomes the primary pilot, adding replay value.

Gameplay Tips

Big O: Prioritize this unit for tanking damage but monitor its EN usage closely.
Braiger: A flexible mid-game option for balancing team compositions.
Kamen Riders: Use their speed for hit-and-run tactics or flanking enemies.
Original Units: Xelguard and Tyranado offer strong early-game versatility if unlocked via the set.

Why This DLC Stands Out

The inclusion of The Big O, the return of Braiger, and the debut of Kamen Rider units make this DLC a must-have for fans. It also bridges past SRW titles through nostalgic original units and dynamic mission design.
