    As a massive fan of the Gundam franchise, Gundam Evolution is off to a fantastic start. Each of the initial batch of mobile suits all fill different roles on the battlefield; and none of felt like it didn’t have a sufficient counter to it. Sadly, some of the best counter picks are locked behind the pay wall, but players can grind out the currency if they want to save some money. I do wish the grind to unlock new suits and the in game currency wasn’t so slow, and the game is in desperate need of some new maps but even with those issues surprisingly the best Gundam game out right now is the free to play Gundam Evolution, and while I am waiting on the console version to REALLY dig in. Those who play on PC should absolutely check it out, especially if you are a fan of games like Overwatch or Paladins. (Does anyone still play Paladins, for that matter does anyone even REMEMBER Paladins?!)

    Like most hero shooters, the key to Gundam Evolution’s success is going to be how well Bandai Namco supports the game, and whether post-launch content can keep up a steady cadence of adding interesting new content. Still, Gundam Evolution has gotten the most important piece of the Overwatch formula right, making each hero feel distinct and providing interesting interactions between them. What that means is that Evolution should appeal to any fans of the genre, even those without any knowledge of Gundam whatsoever.

    Though some things have changed compared to the original, the game has the most common and universal gameplay among other Gundam-based games by thoroughly tailored skill and armament for FPS genre. However, jagged balances between mobile suits, poor matching mechanic and sloppy MVP systems seem to have a bit too many shortcomings even though they benchmarked other games in the same genre.

    There’s a good game here to sink your time into, and I look forward to doing so. I just wish Bandai Namco had poured a little bit more special sauce onto it to differentiate it from the pack. There’s a ton of potential with a property as massive as Gundam, and I can’t help yearning for a game that did little more than just meeting my expectations.

    I really like the overall style of Gundam Evolution. The maps are neat and the mobile suits are a decent starting lineup, even if I don’t like some of the omissions from throughout the franchise in both the roster and cosmetic options. There’s also the fact that some of these mobile suits just feel straight-up overpowered compared to certain other niche options in team comp. That said, as a live-service free-to-play game, I’ve never had an issue finding a match in Gundam Evolution and it looks like the groundwork is here for some good improvements, additions, and balancing over time. I also really enjoyed matches where my team worked together well, win or lose. If you like Gundam and you like Overwatch, there’s no reason to pass Gundam Evolution by. Just be mindful that you might get demolished in the early running as Bandai Namco balances and adds to the game.

    Gundam Evolution is a hero shooter that gives Gundam fans and new players a full product despite being free-to-play, though it's not without high item prices and tech quirks.

    Ultimately, Gundam Evolution fulfills the promise of letting you impersonate one of the many Mobile Suits that have been showcased across the decades, and fans of the beloved series will have the time of their lives, at least for a bit. But in doing so, it just presents another attempt to emulate the Overwatch formula that doesn’t quite hit the mark.

    Lets start off with laughing together about the bad reviews because people are salty about region locking? They are upset that their region has crappy internet and it will bog down other regions so they come here with their little warrior fingers and leave a bad review. There are also reviews saying its play to win, its not. The starting classes you get are just fine and do exactly what you need them to do.

    I play a good amount and I can see where people would get upset that they feel useless. The player base in the US is not that big and the people who do play, play a lot and we get pretty good with head shots. Just put in the time and you will have a blast. Iv met a lot of cool people playing this game and even the discord channel for it had a lot of neat people who just know whats up.

    This game has fantastic maps, game modes, and all the suits in it are fantastic and fun. Everything has its purpose so far. I really have no complaints.    … Expand

    Gundawatch doesn't cut it for me. But hear me out.

    Once you get past the iconic sounds and mobile suits the game itself is pretty shallow.    Gundawatch doesn't cut it for me. But hear me out.

    Once you get past the iconic sounds and mobile suits the game itself is pretty shallow. I understand they opted for a team-shooter F2P game but it honestly feels not unlike a first person Super Mecha Champions game. Which is a mobile game which is graphically and gameplay wise almost 1:1.

    The gameplay loop is essentially either burning abilities then retreating to a health powerup or picking at people from range. The maps themselves are tragically done. Suitable for perhaps Halo and really give no sense of scale. It feels like a reskin of an existing shooter than a new game. That's just how disjointed the aesthetic is.

    The UI itself is terrible. Chat beeping every few moments to report a death. You always have someone unware of the OBJ and dying repeatedly so you get a nice little beep. You can't turn it off. It's utterly pointless to have an audio cue for when someone else dies when you have a feed (that they force into chat so you can't see what people are typing easily).
    No effort or care has been put into this to make me think it's anything other than a cash grab aimed at the fanbase.

    Honestly, I really wanted to like it. But I found myself looking at this UI thinking "If this is the direction they're going to take I'm not really going to enjoy this". It's not a good sign if while playing a game you're absentmindedly thinking about the UI instead of thinking about my next move or where I need to be. The game modes are just so badly designed and implemented it's hard to get invested.

    I'm level 18 now so maybe in 2 levels I'd enjoy playing against more skilled people...only kidding. If you disconnect (which you will) you get a timeout ban. I'd get it for ranked but this is for casual.

    If you were to strip Gundam out of this game completely I'd probably enjoy it more. But because I know what they're taking inspiration from I can only think of what a waste this game is in general.    … Expand
