Puchi Eva: Evangelion@Game

About

Puchi Eva: Evangelion@Game is a turn-based strategy title that overlays tactical combat onto a school setting. Players command a roster of mecha-piloting students, balancing unit upgrades and class schedules to prepare for battles. Each encounter unfolds on a grid, requiring careful positioning and timing to outmaneuver opponents. The Nintendo DS touch screen lets you sketch commands directly on the battlefield, adding a layer of physical interaction. The game leans into its Evangelion roots with familiar characters and mecha designs, though the school setting tones down the series' usual intensity. While reception was mixed, with some praising the clever DS mechanics and others calling it a "lite" entry for newcomers, it remains a niche pick for fans curious about the manga's alternate take on the universe. The 2008 release date means it's now a collector's item more than a competitive strategy title.
