With over 50 pilots, a ton of Gundam models, and a variety of operators to vary the dialog, this game is a Gundam fan’s dream come true. You’ll earn G Credits for fighting that can be used to purchase pilot skills, Gundam weapons and more. Not only can you mix and match pilots and Gundams (once you earn and purchase the licenses), but you can also collect Gundam plans on the battlefield that give you up to four different units of the same model to tweak in different ways. Out of combat, you’ll find customization options that are simply staggering. Mid-battle, there are often fully animated cutscenes filling in a bit of the relationship between the two characters fighting. Once the enemy’s mission bar is depleted, the boss fight begins. The loss of a named pilot, though, delivers a significant blow to the mission meter and will release your grip on the area in which you perished. While either of you has some of your bar filled, key Gundam pilots, including the player, rejoin the battle post-defeat. Once it dips below 50%, you can safely make a play for their HQ. As you take more fields, your opponent’s mission meter decreases. Once the partner meter is full, you can call your ally into battle with the right trigger, tipping the odds in your favor.Ĭapturing sections of the battlefield is key to completing each mission. Additionally, there are areas that, when captured, give you access to your battle partner. These include catapults that can instantly transport you across the map, areas that increase your army’s effectiveness, areas that regenerate the mission bar and armor and the all-important HQ areas. There are different features for some of the larger fields on the map. The instructional level of the game does a fantastic job of introducing you to the meta game, though. Pressing A or Y unleashes a variety of combos after different numbers of X presses. Combat is not covered at all in the tutorial, but X is melee attack, Y is ranged attack, A is boost/dash, RB is jump/hover and B releases a special attack that is subject to a cooldown timer. Once in the game, you are immediately dropped into a tutorial that covers the different battlefield features in-depth. You can change the voiced language to Japanese, which may help those English-speaking fans that watch their anime subtitled (according to most anime fans, that’s the only way to watch it, by the way). Various characters contribute voice-over lines to the scene, but if you aren’t familiar with the English voice actors it won’t help you understand where they are coming from. When you start up the game, you are treated to a lengthy scene of various Gundams and ships battling in space. From what I can tell, this game, like the others in the Gundam branch of the Dynasty Warriors series, brings together characters from different timelines. That’s not to say that you can’t enjoy the game if you don’t know Gundam, but be aware that the game was made for people who have an intimate understanding of the different series, pilots and supporting characters. Despite that, I was lost from the opening credits through the end of my playtime with the game. In advance of playing Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3, I did a bit of research on the extensive Gundam anime franchise and watched a few primer videos on YouTube. Dig a little bit deeper and you’ll find a game filled with tactical decisions, battlefield control and, yeah, a lot of button mashing. In fact, most Warriors demos do more to scare away a potential new audience than to attract one because they typically only feature the combat. Ask someone who has only watched or played a few minutes of any Musou game (Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, Warriors Orochi) and that’s what they’ll tell you they are all about. Press X, Press X, Press X, Press Y, Press X. There’s more to this Warriors game than just the X button.
