For what was meant to be a Gundam game, it is surprisingly well-made in regards to basic fighting concepts and core tenants like how the mechs themselves move. In no way am I a Gundam afficionado or even watch the shows at all, I'm the guy that has 14000 hours and 7 marathons in the entirety of the Armored Core series, so I came to this game solely based on the fact it has mechs, it has PvP, and there's weight to all of your actions.

Besides the... maintenance and matchmaking hiccups, the game is incredible and genuinely one of the nicest I've played. The gacha, as cancerous as it might be, is attached to a game as opposed to the other way around where it's a glorified slot machine disguised as a game. You can get every single MS for free with enough (definitely not Warframe or War Thunder-tier) grinding, and they give out free rolls and tokens like candy through daily, monthly and limited missions.

The gameplay itself is weighty in all the right ways. These are multi-billion dollar war machines and that's shown across very well in the weight, speed and delay on certain actions. The focus on positioning and tactical knowledge also excuses the slow turning speed (as it's your fault if you get caught out, like not looking at your radar ffs). The cost mechanic is not explained very well, but Mix Up is a lot of fun.

I will say though, you need to set voice volume to zero. You won't notice a difference and it'll save you on a lot of earbleeding from rolling banners and "Good work out there!" when the matchmaking inevitably kicks you out with no error. There is some amount of 'quantity over quality' that can be seen with the huge Gundam selection, but this has largely not been a problem. If you just want to know what everyone uses: copy what other players use lmao.
