One of the best jRPGs out now. It breaks every rule, goes back to the roots of the genre, and incorporates battle and customization systems that far exceed anything else the genre’s thrown to gamers so far.
This is a game that will definitely appeal to those players who are already fans of the source material, or who simply enjoy playing with giant robots, as these players will be more likely to overlook the game's shortcomings and appreciate its potential.

Can't get enough of those mobile suits? Bandai releases a turn-based RPG with an engaging plot, but let down by run-of-the-mill gameplay.
MS Saga lies just below the threshold of a good game, and the shine of its customization and gripping boss combat is dulled by lackluster, rote storytelling and lifeless presentation.
A game with no surprises and a superficial combat model, but giant robot fetishists and long-time series fans at least have one less reason to complain.
Summary In the aftermath of the Great Fall, its survivors face a great irony. They must harness the power of the enemy to rebuild their world. But when the power falls into the wrong hands, their survival is threatened once more. As Tristan, travel the world to recruit your team. Build your army from 39 base model mobile suits.
