Pyrennes with Daughtress Command and Daughtress x2 Daughtress Daughtress Weapon x2 (East). Seiei in 00 Qan(T), Lockon Stratos in Gundam Zabanya, Allelujah Haptism in Gundam Harute, Tieria Erde in Raphael Gundam. You can also recruit new characters, capture enemy units under certain conditions or even create your own pilots from scratch. You probably got hooked into mecha anime and spent your youth glaring at import gaming magazines, making lists of Gundam games you would either never play, or end up doing so decades after their original release after some brave fans translated them. You knew they had zero chance of official localization due to the costs involved and lack of audience in the west, but you somehow stuck with it and continue to be a fan of the series, even today. Overnight, Gundam became a part of mainstream western anime culture, achieving a tiny, tiny fraction of the fame it has enjoyed in its homeland since the late 70s (its no understatement to say that Gundam is Japans Star Wars ). Its one of the oldest and most enduring franchises among the entire Gundam series, itself based on an extremely popular line of Capsule Toys that offer hundreds of your favourite Gundam series Mobile Suits presented in Super-Deformed proportions that means huge heads, tiny bodies, and fully adorable. The SD series kept reinventing the franchise by adopting several established genres from platforming, shmup, JRPG and Strategy RPG. That honour belongs to SD Gundam G Generation Genesis, an older entry that saw a re-release on the Switch back in April 2018. Due to lack of region locking, Switch Gundam fans could import the game and play it at their hearts content, with one major caveat there was no English language text support for the Switch version, a massive sin considering that, despite never officially releasing in the west, previous Sony versions of that game came out-of-the-box with complete English text localization. Even better news, the Switch began to receive ports of the Super Robot Wars entries, with full English support which brings us bang up to date. At long last, we were able to fully comprehend an SD Gundam game on release day without any knowledge of written Japanese an unthinkable event not so long ago. The make this an even more appealing proposition, the game itself is brilliant. Future DLC aside, there are thirteen of these on offer, with each branching into several different missions that follow their source material in quite extensive detail. We assure that if you are familiar with the original series on which these campaigns are based, you will often find yourself among familiar protagonists piloting their iconic Mobile Suits, of course thrown into conflicts from their respective shows. The player must deploy, move and attack enemy units before passing the phase and letting the AI opponent do (very competently so) the same. When you open a menu item for the first time, a brief text tutorial tells you what you are dealing with, helping newcomers get accustomed to the complex mechanics these series is famed for. These are stunning, where even the most basic Leo model beam sabre strike becomes a light show spectacle that could easily pass as a real anime episode. You can multiply this several times over whenever you engage enemies with your most outlandish attacks from battleships, unique Mobile Suits or even coordinate assaults from mixed groups of both. Every attack will consume some energy (which recharges accordingly to several factors like allied proximity, unit and pilot skills), but using and abusing your military combined might will often reward you with Overkill bonuses that stop energy conservation being a real issue, in Normal difficulty, at least. Superior enemy numbers often hide unseen reinforcement units that are deployed when certain conditions are met. How can the player counter these seemingly impossible scenarios Enter the SD Force, your fully-customizable squad of pilots, Mobile Suits, battleships and other support units. You start the game with a fairly balanced Battleship Group and Raid Group curiously the same characters, Mobile Suits and battleship featured in the previous game, Genesis. Each mission has several deployment points where you can assign these groups to, along with the guest units that make up the default player-controlled forces. In general, the more units you can deploy to your side, the easier time you will have, and while your default setup is quite capable, this feature of the game hides some hidden depth. Funds are provided by your results in battle, while new Mobile Suit blueprints can be obtained by completing in-mission quests.
