Fans of Japanese culture and animes, in general, will quickly recognize the inspirations behind this fighting game.

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
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed director Mitsuo Fukuda confirmed on Monday that the upcomingGundam Seed film project is a sequel to the second Gundam Seed television anime, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny (pictured right). He added that his late wife, Gundam Seed head scriptwriter Chiaki Morosawa, conceived the story. He noted that she was not satisfied with the story initially and so she revised it countless times, even after she became sick. Eventually, she had over 100 drafts, but Fukuda confirmed the script is complete with the help of new contributors, including himself.
The first Mobile Suit Gundam Seed television anime aired from 2002 to 2003, followed by Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny from 2004 to 2005. The three-part Mobile Suit Gundam Seed C.E.73: Stargazer anime project followed in 2006. Sony Music Anime Festival '06 announced the planned film project in May 2006.
Morosawa, the head scriptwriter for the two Gundam Seed series, passed away at the age of 56 in 2016. She had been collaborating with her husband, who directed both Gundam Seed television series, on the planned Gundam Seed film project. Morosawa had explained in 2008 that the plot for the project was completed, but that she had been ill since the end of the Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny sequel in 2005.
The Bandai Namco Group announced the Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Project ignited initiative during the opening ceremony for the life-size Freedom Gundam statue in Shanghai on Friday. (The statue features a new special anime video made by Fukuda.) The initiative commemorates the 20th anniversary of the original Mobile Suit Gundam Seedanime next year, and it will have several parts. The initiative also includes a new Mobile Suit Gundam Seed game and the Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Eclipse side-story manga.
