Brawling Robots
Gundam Seed: Battle Assault, is one-hundred percent a fighting game. Giant robots fighting through the streets is still a very interesting concept, one which I find extremely fun, but it is clear that those that understand and watch the anime will have a better time. There’s very little guidance or ambiance whatsoever in regards to story-telling, for those unfamiliar with the series it becomes hard to piece together why people are fighting even in the story mode, being up-to-date with the anime will ensure that fans get more enjoyment of this game.
The game has twelve playable characters, eight of them are from the main roster and the remaining four are unlockable by specific actions. The roster is fairly big for a game developed toward mobile gaming, nonetheless, combat mechanics feel underwhelming at best. This means there isn’t a lot to uncover, and even its more unique mechanics can be overlooked for the most part.
Battle Assault
Gundam’s fighting relies on projectiles, jumping, blocking, kicking, and punching similar to every fighting game ever designed. Where it tries to differentiate itself is by allowing players to change stances during combat, between Berserk Mode, and Thruster Mode. Simply put the first one exchanges armor for damage, and allows you to use your “Ultimate Attack”. The second one provides greater mobility and sends you flying skywards.
For all its attempts at creativity, what we ultimately get is a game that is easy to play, and doesn’t require mastery of all the mechanics to be played. This characteristic probably won’t provide avid fighting game players to extract much value from the game, but fans of the anime that go in without unreasonable expectations can find an easy-to-play game that furthers provides more lore on the anime, even if it is in a non-canon way.
Verdict
In the end, Gundam Seed: Battle Assault, will attract casual fighting players, the fans of the anime, or the fans of mecha robots. The fact that mechanics that could be seen as complex aren’t extremely essential to master, to have fun playing the game, makes it an approachable game for most gamers. This isn’t a classic by any standards, but it certainly has its place among its niche.
A well-designed, and good-looking game for its era and platform of release, Gundam Seed: Battle Assault, is a good game for players who enjoyed Guilty Gear Xrd, and earlier titles of the Gundam Series.
Pros:
- Easy to Execute
- Soundtrack
- Creative Mechanics
- Artwork
Cons:
- Mechanics Can Be Overlooked
- Very Short Story-Mode (30 min average)
- Generic Fighting Game
- Story Doesn’t Welcome Newcomers

Bandai Namco revealed that it is currently working on a new Gundam-themed esports video game. The company group made the announcement at the inaugural Gundam Conference held on June 15, 2021. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]
One of the slides presented at the conference showed Bandai Namco’s strategy in getting Gundam into the esports scene. It listed currently ongoing games with competitive features, such as Battle Operation 2, Extreme Vs Maxiboost ON, and Gundam Breaker Mobile (known outside Japan as Gundam Battle: Gunpla Warfare). One of the titles listed, Gundam Extreme Vs Maxiboost ON, has even made its way into the Evo 2021 side tournaments.
In addition to another esports tournament, Bandai Namco also added “New game coming soon” on the slide. The company group has confirmed that it is working on another Gundam game aimed towards the esports audience.
The presentation generally showed Bandai Namco’s intention to increase sales and visibility of the Gundam franchise globally outside Japan. Other than games, the group also revealed ongoing plans on other media, such as the life-sized Gundam statues, the new Gundam SEED projects, and the cooperation with Netflix to bring in the upcoming live-action and anime movies, including Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway.
In the conference, Bandai Namco also revealed Gundam Universal Century Development Action and Gundam Open Innovation. These are initiatives made to gather ideas based on the Universal Century’s science fiction technology that can be applied to the real world in the future.
