    SD Gundam Battle Alliance is a great example of fan service and one which does a very good job at celebrating the Gundam series for its long-running fans. If this group will be delighted at the huge number of robots to unlock and enjoyable combat, those less versed are more likely to see the game's flaws with regards to repetitive missions and a rather lacklustre plot. With all things considered, SD Gundam Battle Alliance is an action RPG that mostly aims for the Gundam fans group rather than for a general audience.

    Action, strategy and role-playing! While being aimed at fans of the animated series, SD Gundam Battle Alliance is probably one of the best gateways to getting started in the Mobile Suit Gundam universe.

    SD Gundam Battle Alliance is a delightful love letter to the Gundam universe, but newcomers can feel isolated by the sheer and confusing context the title is derived from.

    This game has several shortcomings that make it only recommendable to die-hard fans of the Gundam franchise, due to being riddled with references to the series. If you are new to the franchise, we think it is not the best introductory game to enjoy one of the most popular mecha series of Japan.

    Ultimately, SD Gundam Battle Alliance feels like the sort of game that will appeal to those who haven't picked up a Gundam game in a few years, but it's not going to move the needle for anyone else. Standard and unexciting combat is combined with some strange meta-narrative decisions that make this feel like a cute spin on some of the series' most iconic moments. The RPG elements of the game are also very limited, which means arcade-style fighters like Gundam Extreme Versus Maxiboost ON offers more exciting action. SD Gundam Battle Alliance is solid and will definitely be a hit with dedicated Gundam fans, but it's definitely not a reason to dive into the property for those who haven't done so before.

    Whether you’re intimately familiar with Mobile Suit Gundam or a total newcomer, the basic gist of the game should be enough to suck you in and keep you riveted. That it’s not shows just how forgettable this gameplay is – and forgettable is never a word that should apply to robots trying to blow each other up.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Gundam fans that have felt slighted since the trash fire that was New Gundam Breaker finally have an action title that isn’t a gacha. Action fans who aren’t into the franchise will likely find this impenetrable, though.

I love the gameplay and the short missions and collect many MS to play with. Game is a bit grindy to level your MS but thats a thing you must like or not. The gameplay is easy to learn and the only thing that bothers me sometimes was the lock on system. Grqphics are descent and there is enough to do.… Full Review »
