I greatly disagree. Maybe it’s because i haven’t played battle universe but i love this gundam game and have invested about 130 hours into. And that’s what i love in a game, portable or not. Something has me playing that long has to be awesome.

The tricky 9 map missions and bosses, yeah hard and frustrating at first. But not impossible and now i can beat all of them with no issue whatsoever. And i personally enjoy a shop system. Plus 300 mobile suits!

Everything else, such as upgrading i can’t really say. As i said i haven’t played battle universe(but from the gameplay i’ve seen it looks literally the same as assault survive)

I’m open to play battle universe but i’m not willing to pay 70-90 dollars to import it. If the next gundam battle universe/assault survive is much more like battle universe i’d more than be open to that. But reading this review it seems like the only issue you guys have is the multi-map missions and the (some but certainly not all) hard bosses. Which in that case that’s no reason to give the game a miserable 4/10.

Also i never once told my wingmen to stay and defend a map and i still managed to beat the missions fairly easily(yes i’ll admit some took a couple tries)

Thanks for the info! It’s hard to find really good comparisons of all the games as it is, so I appreciate the work you’re doing on all these reviews.

Cacophanus is a numeric rebel and sometimes uses numbers less than six when rating games, while most video game publications rate all videogames on a scale of six and up, as if the extra numbers were just there for show. I bet if Mecha Damashii’s ratings were added to GameRankings and metacritic’s average review scores, PR spokesmen would be throwing themselves out of windows and/or bribing him with fancy toys.

4 out of 10 is bad, but it’s not “as bad” as what the numbers would mean if you saw them in, say, IGN.

That’s a good question on the Gundam Battle games; I think the first game Tactics and Universe are the two best. Much of both Royale and Chronicle were pretty merciless grind-fests.

Nuts. I was hoping to put this on my “must get” list…now I’m not sure about it. It’s a shame, since Artdink has done such a great job on it’s previous GUNDAM games.

I suppose, though, that there was bound to be a low point sooner or later. Either way, here’s hoping that the next game is an improvement.

To Koshernova: Man, that’s terrible! Hope you managed to finally beat that mission!

Oh what a shame! I was really looking forward to this, even though I planned on getting it alongside Gundam Battle Universe no matter what. Or is one of the other Gundam Battle games better than Universe?

I think I can put up with losing a lot of progress though, since I plan on playing most of my PSP games on a TV.

While I think your rating is a tad harsh, i agree that the map system makes the game much more cumbersome than it needs to be. I’ve attempted the Fed side A Baoa Qu mission ten times, with a ridiculously upgraded team of RX-78s, and still no joy!

You’d think named characters from the show flying around could manage themselves! Goddammit Hayato, you’re meant to be tougher than this…
