App Store Editors’ Notes

A brief summary.

This game is essentially an simulation game with hints of Idle RPG elements; you sortie 6 units on the field to deal with enemy units and they do their thing on their own as you watch it play out. You win, you get rewarded for it. You lose, you go power up until you win. In between fights, you’ll get little cutscenes from the different shows (which are cool for those like me that didn’t watch some of them but still enjoy the units like in Super Robot Wars) and then you can go level up, summon units, switch out pilots and all that jazz…the typical mobile gameplay loop. The battles themselves are honestly kinda cool to watch for how chaotic they can get, but it’s fun seeing a little mini 6v6 war play out and how much work each of your units put in to succeed. You get stats and such after battles to see who did what and what areas you can improve and for nerds like me that’s kinda cool. Of course, you can always just whale it up and completely negate the challenge and decimate every stage. If you’re expecting to take direct control of units and fly around and shoot missiles at rogue Zakus while cutting bots up with beam sabers like it’s Dynasty Warriors or some ish , you’re going to be left hanging. If you don’t enjoy hands-off games, you’re going to be left hanging. If you’re like me and just want a game where you collect mobile suits and pilots from different series in the Gundam universe, you’ll like it. It’s worth a download.

Please don’t mess this up Bandai

This game is like finding a needle in a haystack for gundam fans. The community is so starved of good gundam games that ironically a mobile game is the best thing we have as of now. That said the game is nothing super crazy and relies on a more afk approach to the game however the the game provides a lot of great features for both gundam fans and non gundam fans. The inclusion of the entire gundam U.C. story with parts from the shows and movies in chronological order is such a great feature because gundam fans can rewatch their favorite parts in small bits. Even if you know nothing about gundam, it’s a fantastic way to be introduced to the franchise because everything is explained well and in order. The events are particularly great because it allows gundam fans experience more from the franchise and allows the characters you see in the shows and movies to be developed in greater detail. Besides missing quite a lot of mobile suits at the moment, I’m certain after updates and events they will include more. I quit gundam battle operations on pc because of the awful gameplay and didn’t want to play the other games because they didn’t look that great or have great reviews but this game is truly a step in the right direction. I hope it continues to get support for a long time! Overall the afk approach might make people dislike the game I think for many it is a fun game and does the community a service.

One of my favorite games but needs more content and summon rates should be slightly improved.

This game is highly addicting especially as a Gundam fan but it lacks content which limits the playtime for the players. Secondly, the summon rates are lackluster as expected from any gatcha game but can easily be improved with more content in order to acquire more resources and increase the playability of the game. I appreciate this game’s continuous progression and hope to enjoy it long term. I would highly recommend it.

Good but..

It’s a good game but I feel that it lacks combat interaction, I like the battle royal playstyle but at the same time I can’t see my favorite gundam fighting very clearly and that’s disappointing tbh, the rates to get the gundam are as you’d expect, abysmal, you will most assuredly farm ALOT and not get what you want till you’ve pulled on the banner 20 times that’s 60k stones 3k a summon which if you are ftp is going to be at least a few days of farming, that brings me to the availability of ftp stones, very accessible from most of the activities so the game is very ftp friendly. All in all it is a solid strategy type game but don’t expect to see or control your own gundam think like your the commander calling the shots from the background. Also the reason for the low rating is that if you don’t continuously summon on the banner you can farm rank up materials but it takes so long, also once you finish the story you are VERY limited on how you can make gems and the ways they have aren’t fast enough for you to participate in the banners, if you want a great max unit then you’ll either have to be very lucky or spend 100s of dollars.

Kinda empty has potential

The game isn’t bad, its fun initially but there’s warning signs of it becoming p2w very fast. Every resource is extremely hard to come by outside of the initial gift rewards for making a new account, I finished all the current content available right now(even though it just launched) somehow so resources are even more sparse. The story animations are nice and I enjoy it but as it is right now I worry it quickly become a p2w issue like the past Gundam mobile games, since it’s still early there’s a chance new content will be released that be super fun. but as it stands it doesn’t have much to do and all the fun customization for your favorite gundams isn’t really possible as you are constantly bleeding coins, upgrade materials, not including premium currency as f2p basic currency is absurdly hard to get for some reason making it feel like advances finance simulator at the end of the day.

Devs mess up, proceed to punish player base

So one of the current events has a glitch that the devs sat on for days without addressing it at all, then all of a sudden they took the game offline twice on consecutive days and posted a notice that they would be reverting all the lousy in game (not even premium) currencies that were given out due to THEIR mistake, and if you already used it, they would drop your account’s balance to negative. To put this into context, it would be like a grocery store printed the wrong price in their weekly ad, and insisted on charging your card for the price difference days after you have already bought the items and left the store. The customers are made to suffer the consequences for the mistake on Bandai Namco’s end. I will not be renewing my Haro Pass and Haro Pass Pro subscriptions if this is how this company runs its business.

Good but could be better

As a new player, I’m really enjoying the game. The visuals are great, and the gameplay is fun, but there’s one thing that could be improved: the constant downloads for every new chapter. Each time I reach a new chapter, I have to download additional content. It breaks the flow of the game and becomes frustrating after a while. I’d much rather download all the content upfront, even if it takes a bit longer initially, so I can just play without these interruptions. If the developers could offer an option to download everything at once, it would make the experience much smoother, especially for new players like me who want to dive right in without constant pauses.

Extreme potential!

These people definitely give you the bleach brave souls vibe on how this games gacha works which is awesome because if your smart you can play pretty aggressively without spending a bunch of money. Tons of units already available with highest rate drops being semi average (im pulling pretty good) and the rewars are plenty and theres tons of quests and these people have only had this game up less than a hear. Please keep on this track this game can withstand the test of time and be one of the greats
