Mobile Suit Gundam: EX Revue

About

Mobile Suit Gundam: EX Revue is a punchy versus fighter that builds on its predecessor’s blueprint with sharper visuals and a broader cast. Players pilot iconic mechs from the 1979 Gundam series in one-on-one brawls, using joystick-based movement and button combos for attacks. The roster includes returning favorites like the Federation’s Gundam and Zeon’s Zaku, alongside newcomers such as the Gyan and Acguy. Each mobile suit has distinct arenas tied to locations from the anime, some reworked from earlier versions. Single-player challenges 14 opponents across three-round matches, culminating in two unlockable boss battles. Multiplayer lets players clash in any character combination, including duplicates. The game shines in its balance of accessibility and depth. Special moves require precise inputs like circular joystick motions and button presses, echoing Street Fighter II’s rhythm. With 12 mechs, each having three to four unique attacks and personalized victory animations, replayability stays strong. While the arcade release limited its reach, fans of mecha action and 90s-era fighters praise its tight mechanics and nostalgic charm. The inclusion of alternate pilots and fresh stages adds layers for those wanting to dig deeper.
