SD Gundam Battle Alliance

About

SD Gundam Battle Alliance lets you command iconic mechs and pilots from across the Gundam series in a game that blends action RPG and fighting elements. You lead a three-unit squad through a universe where history is scrambled and timelines collide. Combat mixes fast-paced shooting with real-time melee brawls as you switch between pilots and Mobile Suits. Upgrades and loadouts add some depth but the systems feel uneven. The story is a convoluted mess of references that assumes deep knowledge of the franchise. The game’s biggest draw is its massive roster of characters and mechs, with over 100 units available at launch. Community reviews are split, with a 5.2/10 average on Metacritic. Some players stick around for the co-op and multiplayer modes which support up to four players. The multiplatform release covers all major systems but the 2022 launch was delayed multiple times. While it offers a chaotic celebration of Gundam lore, the clunky combat and steep learning curve turn off newcomers.

Storyline

The story takes place in G: Universe, a world where Gundam canon twists and turns in ways no one can predict. To correct this world’s distorted history, the player leads a 3-unit squadron consisting of Mobile Suits and pilots from across Gundam history – a true Battle Alliance.
