Is my Search for a GOOD Gundam Game on PC Finally Over? 

Gundam Evo has been revived with private servers and potential new updates through a community called Side 7.

This game is good. I wouldn't say it's amazing due to some of the grind requirement but the gameplay is very solid imo

Gundam breaker 4 looming in the distance.

I enjoy this game a lot just because of the casual fun you can have with it! Now, there admittedly aren't a lot of characters to team up with, but some of the interactions you can get genuinely amuse me: My personal favorites have to be Mikazuki and Suletta. When he pilots Barbatos 6th form, it starts with "Don't get in my way," "I won't drag!" Any other Barbatos though, and she does her "step 1, forward 2" and he actually takes notes from it.

SD Gundam Battle Alliance is certainly my all time second favorite SD Gundam Game, G Generation Cross Rays is of course number one given its HUGE amount of MS/MA, Characters, Skills and missions, but nevertheless as soon as Battle Alliance was revealed all that long ago I immediately was hooked, I played the demo and bought the game as soon as it came out and I did not regret the purchase at all, spend weeks playing through the game, getting all the MS Blueprints and doing all post-story missions and getting the all the much harder to get MS Blueprints like the two original MS made for this game and another which you had to face alot of bosses to get its Blueprints, Ive bought all three DLC Packs and completed and got their MS that came with them, the only DLC Pack I dont have is the Witch From Mercury Pack with Suletta and Aerial, overall I absolutely enjoyed the hell out of this game and certainly would love to see a sequel for Battle Alliance.

I played this on Switch, it was well worth the money and I absolutely loved it. Only problem was that once the player community got to roughly the same level/mobile suit options, it became difficult to find people to play with. No one to team up with. When they added Gundam Aerial, everyone played for 3 days to unlock Aerial, played with it for a while, then it was dead again.

I really wish there was more to coop. On launch you had a few people down for it back on Console, but after a whilenit became a "I'll do one run just so i have the achievement to plat the game"

Thanks for giving this game some love.

I still wish Epic Games would chuck a bunch of dosh at Bandai Namco Studios to bring the Extreme VS series to PC, cuz I legit can't see it happen any other way due to the dev team's loathing of the platform.

So, SD Gundam Battle Alliance is a smaller scale (less enemies) ver. of Gundam Musou. Definitely agree to wait for a sale. Although, a little disappointed there was no review of the multiplayer co-op content. That could really enrich the experience.

I switched boost and block when i started playing and it makes such a massive difference, being able to move around at speed with one hand and move the camera makes this game much better

was so ready to buy this on launch date when the reviews came it is more of a single player adventure. Was hoping it would be a great replacement for SD gundam online / capsule fighter which shutdown years ago.

I picked this up on the Switch on sale for $20, and I agree. Not worth $60, but for $20, definitely! It's fun, just repetitive and a bit shallow. But given the lack of (good) Gundam games available in the West in general, and on non-Playstations specifically, it really scratches the itch. I'm also waiting for Gundam Breaker 4... hopefully that'll redeem the series after NGB. That one I think I'll get on PC.

You know what's good to play though? While waiting for GB4, you folks should try Megaton Musashi W. Specially if you're really can't wait and have some appreciation of Super Robo Taisen stuff. Ooooh, chefs kiss!

yknow what would make the game alot better is space battles because usually in every battle in space, your always on ground and they should probably add more suits and missions like battling the arianrhod fleet or the ELS from awakening of the trailblazer believe me it would be fun if we had space battles like that

BEC, which continued to create classic Gundam games during the PS1 and PS2 eras, unfortunately disbanded in 2011.

God I wish they would release a new home version of those old Gundam games from like the PS2... Specifically the Gundam VS ZAFT ones

I really enjoyed my time with SDBA. Even got to help several friends through it and group up with them for the super hard dlc missions. Not a perfect game by any means, but a fun time. Since you brought up the Dark Gundam and being able to fight it, maybe you should dive into ms saga, the gundam ff styled rpg.

My personal favorite Gundam related game on steam right now is Super Robot Wars 30. However, it’s a turn-based strategy RPG, so it’s definitely not for everyone. The game is pretty easy (especially once you’ve unlocked some of the cheesier equipment and abilities or have upgraded some of your mechs to the maximum level). But it’s a fun story featuring a ton of characters from different series having fun interactions.

Nice review. It's great to see that you've put more focus on the combat mechanics which imo is SDGBA's biggest strength. I love that its combat is free-form and makes full use of every other actions like dash, guard and jump for extension/cancelling - it looks deceptively simple but has depth and favors experimentation. I agree too that the game is best bought during sale and I'd recommend getting the deluxe edition (for the additional content and bgms, especially for Narrative and Hathaway's Flash by Hiroyuki Sawano) since it's already on a new low of 60%. I bought the deluxe edition when it was at 50% off and couldn't understand its mixed reviews. It's also longer than most people realize because after clearing normal (and chaos missions I think), you'll unlock hard mode which is actually more fun since you'll be at a higher level cap with more tools at your disposal. There's also one pretty cool feature in the game that doesn't get mentioned enough for Gundam fans, SDGBA's music is fully customizable with your own music and you can also set a custom music to play whenever you unleash your ultimate attack. I used "Life Goes On" and damn it rocked! A few things I'd recommend players is not to worry about repeating missions to collect blueprints because some of them will be available in later missions too - unless there are specific MSes you want to unlock asap for use. Also, don't worry about the steep prices for upgrading MSes at later levels (which are insanely expensive) because the currency you'll earn in later stages do scale accordingly. The game was previously pretty grindy and difficult (playing solo) but the last few game updates have made it pretty reasonable.

The only gripe i have for the game is that it clearly needed more playable characters. Some of the series had like 4 playable units in them while others had only like 1 or 2 - Now I understand the fact that some series can only have like one or two because said series doesn't have alot of named/popular MS, but there are clearly some that could have had more like Gundam Wing, etc. (only Wing Zero and Epyon)

Honestly still love this game. Really like a good hack and slash game and I love Gundam so this was a fun match up for me. Trying to figure out the more advanced combo tech was nice as well. Loved using Gold Frame Amatsu Mina throughout the game along with Penelope once that DLC dropped.

the game was fun and the story was cute, getting to see extra life in alot of stories is what sold it for me as a long time gundam fan

Waiting on Gundam Breaker 4, can't wait to try out Destiny Spec II and Mighty Strike Freedom

This game was so fun to play, It was similar to SDGO. I wish the devs put more effort in the content in the game and multiplayer.

wait for Gundam Breaker 4 to be out on steam end of this year

They really need to remaster the Dynasty warriors gundam games for newer consoles and pc...freaking loved those games...

Tried g generation cross ray, it keep freeze or turn off itself on my pc….

Really hoping breaker 4 have more grunt suits than 3 andmore customisation options.

While GB4 reach, you should give a chance to Megaton Musashi W. Man that game came out of nowhere and is fun as hell.

Cross rays is good too if you like to see the animations

i know its not gundam technically, but mecha break is releasing soon and it looks amazing, you should try it when it comes out

I'm waiting a semi realistic Gundam game, maybe with the cockpit view

I remember that old SD Gundam in SEA server you could play for free

As for story it really cool another universe/year gundam invaded, that is the missing piece on genesis and cross rays. Also we need more suit, sadly it will be bigger size and budget to make 😂

If your a gundam fan this game is amazing. If your playing it as a casual without loving gundam.... Its only alright. My ex would literally be like "why do you like this so much?...." Simply the nostalgia makes me love it.

It's an okay game. Most peeps just turned off bu the SD suits you control and more perplexing is the cutscenes have full size suits. The gsme has a really good saxophone instrumental version of Meguriai. That's the Gundam song that goes "Yes My Sweet"

Im convinced that SDGO was the best Gundam game made. All Bandai needs to do is literally make a copy of the game

i would love to see the Dynasty Warriors gundam games release on steam.

You never play gundam warriors?

Gundam battle alliance was the best game ever for me so much so that I have every gundams max level such a fun game 😭🙌🏽

this was the spiritual sucessor of sd gundam online, but this time bandai took the control back instead of korean developer

I love it because it's better than nothing! But if I have a choice I kinda wish the flight/maneuverability and combat are a little bit closer to gundamvsgundam.

Nice...but can you review the Another PS2 Gundam Game which is called Mobile Suit Gundam Climax U.C. which is only has Japanese release only.

infighter is kinda OP vs bosses,some of them got infinite loops(I am looking at you gouf custom!)

I was really hoping that this game was a true sequel to SD Gundam Capsule Fighter, and I was disappointed when it wasn’t. I enjoyed the game tho

Honestly would love a port of Gundam Battlefield Record 0081. It alongside the Unicorn game for the PS3 were the last Gundam games that made you actually feel like you were having a genuine Gundam experience. My biggest issue with the SD games, Gundam Evolution and Gundam Battle Operation Games is they're nonsenses, and they try to find weird excuses to cram as many mechs into the games as possible. They're literally just video games with Gundam in it and arguably not games that give you a Gundam Experience. Ace Combat games do a better job giving you a Gundam like experience and they're not even Gundam games. To me the mecha are not the most important part, the experience, environment, characters and story are more important than the mechs. Meanwhile Gundam 0081 sticks specifically to mechs from the time period and universe. Meanwhile actually having a okay story, but I liked about the story was you could play both sides, not just one their own campaigns but interlocking stories. Basically the Federation campaign the Federation Protagonist is kind of hunting the Zeon protagonist. So both teams but heads numerous times in both campaigns and not everyone survives to the end of the game. Felt very much like a Gundam anime I highly respect it for that. Rather than just being a video game with Gundams in it it was a LEGIT Gundam Video Game. The game even had a very fun Coop Mode as well, where you could replay most of the missions in Coop and remade missions for Coop minus the story elements.

Just wait for breaker 4

If you are into tactical RPGs, SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays is really good. G Generation Genesis is good too, but it's not on PC. I imported a PS4 copy from Play Asia that had English text option. It's also available on Switch.

If you want the best, play SD gundam G Generation Cross Rays.

I have no idea why they didnt port braeker 2 or 3 to pc but eh. Hopefully Breaker 4 will be a good sequel

waiting for breaker 4

Pc is getting breaker 4 and it looks amazing so far.

As someone who usually avoids anything SD, I have to say this is one of my favourite Gundam games. Sadly as time goes on and the player count drops though it becomes increasingly hard to be able to efficiently clear later missions. I do play on console though, so I can't say if the PC community has been effected by this as much. It's a very grindy game and will have you replaying the same missions over and over, but that is negated somewhat by how quickly you can clear them once you've upgraded your mobile suits. Also the balance is basically non existent making certain mobile suits much better than others, especially when it comes to some of the DLC suits. It sounds like I'm ragging on it, but where it really shines is the game play. It's just fun to zoom around the map shooting and bashing enemies which to me is the most important part.

my greatest gripe about this game is definitely the repetitiveness to make it worse, several of the dlcs are locked until you finished every single mission in the game TWICE.

So while not a gundam game, megaton musashi w wired is a good gundambreakers like game, whit better gameplay but less costumizebility tho still great in terms of that just not gb level. What it does have is mazinger getter, combattler v and voltes v. So if you want something while waiting for the actual gb4 this one is very solid

The best gundam game I played was Dynastic Warriors Gundam, I played all of them and have 3 of them on the ps3. I like the Dynastic Warriors formula, it was very fun with my friends specially fighting bosses and hard missions

I wish they would bring extreme vs series to PC

Wow so I guess Cross Ray's just doesn't exist

With over 200 hours in the game, definitely fun. Though once you beat the DLC, there is not much more left to do. That being said, this game is easily 100 hours of pure fun.

just killing time until GB4

Needs more active players but super fun

SD gundam. Let that sink in. After shows like Gundam Wing, 8th ms team, Gundam 0083, Gundam 0080 'war in the pocket'. The entire franchise. Our choices are SD gundam(super deformed gundam), a gacha game, dynasty warriors afk mobs, and a game about building plastic Gundam models

How about the spoilers? I'm a new fan so I've seen very little of Gundam and don't want to get spoiled on the seasons I haven't seen

Imagine a open world gundam game

What about SD Gndam: G Generation Cross Rays?

I saw it on gamepass when i bought my Xbox Series X a while back, played it a bit. thought it was neat. Im not really a fan of SD Gundam. I saw it had Nu gundam and i tried it out. Surprising though its also on PC Gamepass and your progression also carries over between the two.

New game coming out called mecha break. I HIGHLY encourage anyone reading this comment to go look at the trailers. That game is everything Gundam should be

man I wish there were more games like ms saga

It strikes me as a Gundam Musou" minus the "musou-ness" and SD. As one who didn't mind the Dynasty Worriors thing (and actually loath how Reborn on the PS3 was the last of them 😭) will have to check this out

I just want a gundam game thats story based. Like titan fall 2 but gundam. With one mc and a gundam.

I want another Dynasty Warriors Gundam game =(

I really really get this whole no good gundam games thing. I have been wanting a good one for so very long. And while this ones ok i would not say its what im wanting.

I wasn't always a big fan of the Gundam SD series but they have grown on me over the years, especially the newer one like G generations and crossrays on ps4 , a huge amount MS and mobile armors and characters to choose from! Which also includes making your own pilot , it's pretty basic but it's fun and good to see. And a deceit amount of ships to choose from. Sd gundam battle alliance i really love playing it, the grind isn't too bad so far, at least as of a few months ago or so . The combat is fun and pretty fast paced and some of the more harder missions can be brutal if you haven't be leveling your MS or Characters to what the game suggest, although I am horrible at guarding , most time i forget i can guard, much less perform a perfect guard hahhaha . As for the price point, yea i cant disagree with you there 60 bucks plus the additional dlc is steep , but im a sucker for a gundam game that looks promising and fun even after beating it!

Dynasty Gundam for PS3 was great❤

Game is fun for the first hours. Sadly when you realize you are playing the same like 8 maps over and over again it gets pretty annoying. I played it alot cause of all the suits I love that are in it. Definitely worth the $20-30 range. It does feel like its missing some elements.

Counter point, sd gundam generations cross rays exists

Yeah ok this is just gundam xenoverse

Nothing beats SDGO

SD Gundam Capsule Fighter is still the best PC Gundam Game. RIP SDGO

This was essentially The Gundam Version of Dragon Ball Xenoverse.

I wish that bandai would just outsource to fromsoft or konami or something. So that we can have a true to life, and modern gundam game.

Aerial?

Nah I am good. I would like a gbo3.

Honestly I wish Tecmo Koei would make a new dynasty warriors gundam game...

This game is awesome!!

The only thing that took my attention away from this game is the actual Gundams’ aesthetic.

Without even watching; Short answer, no. Long answer......eh? It's good for what it is, closest thing we're gonna see to a DW gundam on PC, decent roster though always wishing for a few more here and there. What ultimately killed it for me is the combat, especially against the bosses in hard and EX missions. Relying way too much on a perfect guard/parry system to get bosses in a break state so that you can actually deal damage, otherwise you do next to nothing to them and playing keep away until then cause if they get you they will wreck your ass on harder difficulties. It has been a while, maybe I just sucked at the parry mechanic or it was just plain jank, but I found myself brute forcing a lot of the later bosses, the EX missions though finally broke me. 6.5/10, slightly above average.

Is really good, i platinum it

GunEvo at least now runs on Private Servers. Still a shame that BamCo couldnt give less fucks

So this is the Xenoverse of the gundam games?

Sadly not compatible for Stram Deck

try gbo2 and new breaker

I had such high hopes for battle operations 2. Fucking great game bogged down by shitty matchmaking and greed.

There is a mod that will let you get capital for free. The grind is extremely extremely rough due to the captial costs... its cheating but it'll let you experience higher levels faster.

i would say the game is fun in a generic way, i played thru pc game pass for a while, but it got repetitive shortly, at least it didn't had an english dub (that a huge positive)

So it's the gundam version of xenoverse.

play gundam vs extreme

for someone who played alot of gundam seed destiny: zaft vs rengou 2+(long name i know), i cant look at the gameplay of battle aliance and not feel like its VERY mediocre. not just the combat is pretty boring, but even the story mode is just bland. the gundam vs on psp was also far more fun to play around and unlock stuff. its not a bad game, but i wouldnt count it as GOOD either. i would actually put sd g generation cross rays above it, and even that one doesnt compare with the really good sd g gen games. like DS(which looked like shit even back in the game, but is so much fun) or overworld. hell, even spirits, with its insane amount of bullshite, and no real good map to grind i would argue was a better game, since it was the first to introduce the "size" mechanic to the franchise. overall, we dont really have much choice on PC. but since we will be getting the next gundam breaker, and its based of gundam breaker 3, an AMAZING game. the only thing we are missing is the gundam extreme vs. which is the best of the gundam vs franchise. compared to those games, battle alliance is just... meh.

Wait? You didnt like Gundam Cross Rays? Its pretty dang good imo
