    Overall, the graphics in the game are generally praised for their quality, with many users highlighting impressive visuals and crisp designs that enhance the gameplay experience. The large selection of Gundam units also contributes positively to the visual appeal, although some reviews note inconsistencies in quality and mention that the game lacks depth beyond its graphics.

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring solid controls and a variety of modes that keep players engaged, though it lacks a traditional story mode. While beginners can start with simpler mechanics, mastering the game's depth, including three-dimensional movement and combos, is essential for higher-level play. However, issues like lag compensation can disrupt the experience, impacting game outcomes, despite the intense and satisfying online battles that fans of the genre will likely enjoy.

    • “The fighting mechanic is strong, with plenty of Gundam to choose from; fans will go nuts for it, and online battles are ridiculously intense.”
    • “Lag compensation sometimes forces gameplay into an interactive slideshow, and I will say (with the least amount of salt possible) that this can swing the outcome of the game completely.”
    • “Beginners can play one type of game, but gradually work their way to a higher level, once they master three-dimensional movement and combo mechanics.”
    • “A wide selection of gameplay modes ensures that there's always something to hold your attention, while the tense action itself offers depth, variety, and satisfaction.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks a traditional story mode, focusing instead on single-player and multiplayer battles between Gundams. While the gameplay and controls are praised, the absence of a narrative and customization options leaves players wanting more in terms of story depth.

    • “There is no story, just single-player and multiplayer Gundam vs. Gundam.”
    • “There is no story mode and no customization options.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is praised for its nostalgic anime soundtracks that span various eras, enhancing the fast-paced and chaotic combat experience. Players appreciate how the presentation and music effectively capture the essence of the Gundam franchise, contributing to the uniqueness of each mobile suit.

    • “The presentation along with the music really leans into the Gundam nostalgia.”
    • “Loads of mobile suits to choose from, with anime soundtracks from every era.”
    • “The fast and frantic combat system emulates the anime well.”
    • “The music feels repetitive and lacks variety, making battles less engaging over time.”
    • “While the game has a nostalgic vibe, the soundtrack doesn't capture the essence of the anime as well as it could.”
    • “The background music is often drowned out by the sound effects, making it hard to appreciate the score.”
