Gundam Evolution PC Network Test preview: Things are off to a great start
Gundam Evolution is a 6v6 hero shooter, and a PC Network Test was recently held. The free-to-play shooter gave fans access to the full roster and a few game modes. They also teased how monetization will work. The developers have given access to some of the “pods”, essentially loot boxes.

Gameplay is solid on the controller and keyboard/mouse. The tutorial teaches you everything necessary to get into gameplay, and I appreciate that. Players
