It’s not a deal breaker for the title but it feels like a missed opportunity. One of the downsides with Gundam Versus is that there are no options to turn on subtitles and therefore you feel like you miss out on a lot of the in game dialog.
Some of the most memorable songs from the soundtracks of the Gundam series are included, this means that you can enjoy both the visual and audio brilliance that is the Gundam universe. Fans of the series will know that capturing the magic of the animes action scenes scenes in video games can sometimes be tricky but thankfully, Gundam Versus hits the mark. The on screen spectacle of the mobile suits battling it out with over the top moves and explosions to match are rendered perfectly all with a solid frame rate. Where this title stands out the most is in the visual department. Playing these modes is enjoyable for some time but after completing them with a few mobile suits you will find that there is a serious lack of replayability and variety.
From a standard Free Battle mode to the wave survival mode that is Ultimate battle and the Trial mode, where you fight through a number of matches to claim victory.
Though there is a lack of a story mode, the game does include a number of offline modes for players to fight through. As every mode can be a means to earn more experience and currency there is a continuous sense of progression to be found in the title. As they level up and you spend your GP you will be able to unlock extra support actions and some cosmetic items. The point system is a great way to help manage your battle strategy as it creates a risk and reward play style where you can offset power for that extra chance in a fight.Įach mobile suit has its own level attached to it that as you spend more time in battle with a select unit, you will earn experience with it. For example, if a match has a 1,000 point health limit and your unit costs 400 that is the amount that will be deduced when you fall in battle. As the game uses a point value system to rate each of the suits, it is worked into the health bars for the fights themselves. You can pick up any of the units and find a moveset that is unique to each one meaning every mobile suit in the roster holds up on its own.
Gundam Versus has an impressive roster of over 90 different mobile suits covering 19 different shows, movies, manga and games. With it finally making its way to the PlayStation 4, the question is whether the game is able to deliver on its promises and meet fans expectations. With Gundam Versus, the latest title to make its way to the western market, players take control of the action with up to three versus three mobile suit combat with both online and offline play. When you think of the Gundam series, your first thought should be of the stunning battles that occur throughout. Reviews // 29th Oct 2017 - 4 years ago // By Judgemental Waifu Gundam Versus Review
