On top of this players can choose an extra Mobile Suit to act as a “Striker” assist, letting players cover for their chosen Gundam’s weak points with a bit of extra support on the battlefield. Each Suit has its own unique moves and traits. The first team to run out of points loses the match and gets to see their poor Gundam get blown to bits.īefore the battle starts Gundam Versus offers an almost overwhelming range of Mobile Suits for players to choose from over 90 in total. Every time a Mobile Suit is destroyed, that team loses points. Combat focuses on fast movement, clever use of long-range weaponry, and hard-hitting melee attacks. Your standard Gundam Versus match involves two teams of two Mobile Suits battling it out in a 3D arena. Players pilot giant robots known as Gundam (or Mobile Suits) in epic team battles against other human or AI opponents.

I mean, fighting games and epic giant robot space battled combined? How can you go wrong? Pleased to mech your acquaintanceįor those unfamiliar with the franchise, Gundam Versus is the latest in the series of arena-based mech combat games. When I found out that Bandai Namco was releasing Gundam Versus, a multiplayer arena fighting game featuring giant freaking robots, I just had to give it a shot. Who doesn’t love to see mechs as tall as buildings flying about with beam sabres, laser rifles and missile pods akimbo?

To be fair, deep down there is a giant robot nerd in each of us, right? Yeah, I’m a giant robot nerd too, what of it? It just so happens, that I’m also a big fan of giant robots that stomp around and blast the heck out of each other. You could even say I am a fighting game nerd.
