Tech Romancer[a] is a 1998 3D fighting arcade game by Capcom that draws heavily from the various subgenres of mecha anime.

The setting of Tech Romancer takes place in a far future of Earth, where advanced technology have made things calm and decent for the citizens of Japan and the rest of the world.

However, the peace doesn't last long as an evil alien tyrant named Goldibus invades the planet with its loyal followers and seeks to conquer the world while enslaving the human race with an emotionless iron fist.

In Japan, the game is re-released as "Choukou Senki Kikaioh For Matching Service" because of its online functionality.

[9] Greg Orlando of NextGen said of the game, "It's not often when we get to step into our favorite anime and beat some metal ass.

He noted that the game contains more replay value than JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Street Fighter III, and Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein combined.

[16] BenT of PlanetDreamcast described the game as "a great surprise from Capcom" due to its Japanese anime stylings and superb character design, as well as the simple yet addictive gameplay, but criticized the overly simplistic gameplay and underwhelming graphics compare to other titles released for the Dreamcast around the same time (most notably Resident Evil – Code: Veronica which was also made by Capcom and MDK2 from Bioware).
