Additionally, some enemies can be convinced (usually those who are not completely villainous, or who have good intentions) to abandon the antagonists and join the player, whether they do so in their respective series or not. Players will often have the chance to prevent the death of an ally, as depicted in his or her animated series, while some games take this a step further and prevent heroic deaths freely, without extra effort on the player's part. One noteworthy aspect of the Super Robot Wars games is that character death happens rarely. It is said that the events of each game are caused by incursions known as Dimension Quakes that started several years prior with the explosion of a 'dimensional bomb', thereby constantly merging and separating the various universes without anyone knowing, ensuring canonicity. The stories play out the events of the anime, albeit altered. Some featured anime also has their plots intertwined: in Super Robot Wars Alpha, the White Fang from New Mobile Report Gundam Wing allies with Paptimus Scirocco's rebellion from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, resulting in the two enemy forces working together. In most games, the player selects or is given a Banpresto original character and machine, who is connected to the overarching storyline which ties together the events of the constituent anime for the game.

In some games, these are called 'Skill Points' ('Battle Masteries' in the North American localizations) and the difficulty of the game increases accordingly.

Characters that would normally be killed may not die as well.

Some of these bonuses include extra stages, different endings, captured enemy machines and special upgrade for specific units, such as the IWSP Pack for the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam. Many games also have hidden features that can only be gained through a special sequence of events or completing optional challenging objectives. Here, units can be upgraded or optional parts installed, characters' stats and skills can be changed or upgraded, and other maintenance actions can be performed before the player continues on with the game.

Once the scenario is cleared, more dialogue is exchanged between characters before the player is taken to an intermission menu. On battlefield, the player and enemy take turns to order their units with commands available, such as movement, attacking, forming squads and casting 'Spirit Commands', a set of magic-like spells unique to each pilot. Some scenarios are longer, with multi-part missions or have new objectives added as the story unfolds. To complete a scenario, the player must accomplish scenario objectives. Most games follow a basic structure: when a stage begins, the character receives introductory dialogue between playable characters, leading to the scenario on the battlefield. The game franchise is officially Strategy Role Playing Games, with a few elements from visual novels in terms of the story and some decision making throughout the game's storyline.
