### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-11-21*

This game or “interactive story” I should say, is quite good. It’s deep and told well. Well enough that you can actually Imagine what is happening quite clearly. Its so impressive, that even if there are no pictures, you can clearly see in your mind that there is. Hocked yet?

Update: I have now played through this game about 5 times now. Choosing different options and each one changes the story vastly. I got to give the writers a 5 star for making the writing so engaging that it makes you want to reread it. Truly one of my most favourite virtual novels.

### 5/5 — Are there multiple endings? MAJOR SPOILER ALERT

*2019-09-28*

Are there multiple endings because I got the one where the fleet
was destroyed by the imperial superweapon and I retreated and went to that other planet to rest and stuff. Are there more endings? Also great game

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-07-13*

I thought the story was cool, and the science was very well thought out. I would have liked more customization for my vehicle and crew but what we got was just as good. Hawkins had a very messed up sense of reality, I think if you could have explored that a bit more, or at least allowed us to convert him/her a bit more it would have made that character a lot more enjoyable. 

Spoiler****also maybe let us convert to the empire.****

Other than that fantastic game. Thanks for the fun time. Please make a sequel. I’m begging you. Anyways: Wolf Lance out.

### 4/5 — Good but...

*2018-07-06*

It is an amazing game but I thought it could do better. Unlike the other games I have played, (lost heir saga) I didn’t get as many choices I wanted and I kinda lost interest in the story. Good but needs more. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Science Fiction

*2018-02-18*

PI really enjoyed this title. I felt very moved by the events and the choices that had to be rmade. U

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-01-09, version 1.1.0*

It's nearly as good as aldnoah.zero first season or gundum

### 5/5 — Absolutely loved it

*2017-10-19*

I played this one through many times. I thought the storyline and decisions/consequences where excellent. Loved how it was set in the future but not so far out to make it unbelievable. Now just waiting on the sequel !!

### 5/5 — Great game love the story

*2017-07-07, version 1.0.15*

I love this game so much. The story is super immersive, and you really connect with/care for the wellbeing of other characters. I recommend it to anyone who likes these types of games.
P.S Asadi is best romance!!!

### 4/5 — Great Mecha Story

*2017-04-27*

I am a big mecha fan, and this game had a good number of Gundam/various mecha references that kept me in that zone, as well as offering my real choices. Although I managed to finish my first play through in a couple of hours, it had me hooked, and I have already completed it 4 times- there are a number of different endings. While it felt like there were not many consequences to my actions on my first play though, it turned out it was dumb luck, and further play throws had me not always being awesome and losing people that mattered. Recommended for anyone in to this genre!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2017-03-27*

I am an avid player of choice-script games. I've played about every one or piece of one I could get my hands on. I gotta tell you, I loved every second of this one. Great writing and meaningful choices. Very enjoyable to try to get your ideal ending and experience a very gundam-esque product. I have no critiques 👍🏻
