SD Gundam Battle Alliance - A fun experience marred by crashes and grinding
SD Gundam Battle Alliance releases on August 25, 2022, and with it comes a rich, enjoyable story and fun combat. While I enjoyed my time with the game, reliving some truly memorable moments in the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise, it is much more than Universal Century stories.
G Gundam, Gundam Wing, Gundam SEED, and many more are featured, and it’s a charming Super Deformed Gundam game, but it has some issues that have genuinely baffled me. Sure, it’s fun, and the main issue I had can be hotfixed, but it marred an otherwise enjoyable experience.
Thanks to shenanigans, the Gundam timeline has been scrambled, and characters are showing up in timelines that they shouldn’t. This leads to our heroes coming together to set things right again, the only way they know how: violence.
Players unlock some awesome mobile suits and work together with a pair of partners (NPCs or friends online) to play through short but enjoyable stages set in the Gundam universe. The combat is easy to get into, and the mobile suits have a trio of styles. Players have sharpshooters, more aggressive melee units, and all-rounders that average all around.
Each of these roles has its own special ability too, which can be triggered a few times during a stage. Players go through a series of stages and chapters, and the stories are divided into “Break” and “True” stages.
The “Break” stages, as the name implies, are broken. As players get through these and play SD Gundam Battle Alliance, they’ll unlock the “True” version of these events, playing them out as intended. Then, with the timeline corrected, the team leaves and sets off for other battles.
This could include some tragic stories too. After all, not every ending is a happy one in the Mobile Suit Gundam series.
