Even though some of these games have only been released in the Japanese domestic market rather than abroad (where the Macross franchise has also been licensed by Harmony Gold as Robotech) they extend the franchise with noticeable key elements such as original animation scenes, characters and mecha known as Valkyries.

Japanese localization of Robotech: Crystal Dreams to be done by video game company Tomy of Japan. Since most of the mecha used in Crystal Dreams came from the original Macross TV series (which provided a third of the animation for the Robotech cartoon series in the U.S.), Tomy saw the opportunity to have the only Macross game released on the Japanese N64. However, producer GameTek never completed the American game and closed down in 1998. In addition, though Tomy was interested in the game and even went as far as to advertise it in Japanese magazines, the company didn't obtain the rights to distribute a Macross game from Bandai.

Macross 30: Voices across the Galaxy (マクロス30 銀河を繋ぐ歌声, Makurosu 30: Ginga wo tsunagu utagoe) is an action role-playing game^[1] for the PlayStation 3 developed by Artdink and published by Namco Bandai Games. The game commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Macross anime series created by Shoji Kawamori, featuring every series from the franchise. The game was released on February 28, 2013.^[2]

Gameplay[edit]

The gameplay of Macross 30 inherits the same gameplay seen in previous Macross games. The game has two types of controls: the Type A modeled after the controls in such games as Macross Trial Frontier and Macross Last Frontier, and the Type B that allows the player to manually move the weapons lock-on cursor for pinpoint accuracy. The game's Easy setting (the lowest of the three difficulty levels) has an auto combat feature; when a novice toggles the feature on during the game, an AI will take over the controls and automatically fight the battle.

Being an action RPG, the main character allows to have interactivity with other characters and also make decisions.

Story[edit]

The game is set in year 2060, 50 years after the Space War I conflict seen in the first Macross series and one year after the Vajra War seen in Macross Frontier. Above the planet Ouroboros in the far reaches of the galaxy, S.M.S. pilot Leon Sakaki^[3] is suddenly attacked by an unknown enemy and shot down in his YF-25 Prophecy. There, he is rescued by the heroine Aisha Blanchette,^[4] the young Zentradi head of S.M.S.'s branch on Ouroboros.

Due to the intermittent space-fold faults known as 'Ouroboros Aurora,' Leon cannot immediately return home. He decides to join Aisha in investigating the planet's ruins, and while on an underground survey, the two discover a sleeping girl named Mina Forte. Unknown to them, their fates will be crossed with the ones throughout space and time.

As with the previous games, there is no plan to release Macross 30 outside Japan.

Limited Edition[edit]

A Special Limited Edition of the game has been released alongside the normal edition. The limited edition includes the game, A 30th anniversary booklet, character & mecha art book, set of event & campaign posters, layout pictures and a boxart designed by Hidetaka Tenjin.

PlayStation 3 the Best[edit]

On October 9, 2014, the regular edition has been rereleased in the Japanese budget edition 'PlayStation 3 the Best'.

DLC[edit]

The Limited Edition and the normal edition were sold with PlayStation Store product codes allowing to download exclusive colors (skin) for up to three Valkyries.

The normal edition's product code allows to unlock a special marking version of the VF-29. It is possible to redeem the product code one time only, therefore the product code will likely be unavailable when purchasing an used copy of the game.

The Limited Edition includes the normal edition's product code plus an exclusive one allowing to unlock special marking version of the VF-25F and the VF-1S.
