### 5/5 — Very enjoyable

*2016-06-18*

This gives me a very gundam vibe which is good and the story in my opinion is excellent and this deserves a sequel while in the story you and the blue masque reminds me of amuro  and char

### 5/5 — Great Mecha Adventure

*2015-11-01*

A great sci-fi adventure game with a desperate stand against a mighty foe. This one is like watching an anime like macross or neon genesis, but with you at the helm of the story. The choices presented really make a huge difference in the overall outcome of the final game! And this one even has achivements, for all you treasure hunters out there. :-)

### 5/5 — It's great!

*2015-07-08, version 1.0.13*

It is a great game I've replayed it hundreds of times.

### 5/5 — Great, fun homage

*2015-06-25, version 1.0.13*

Great, fun little homage to the classics

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2015-06-17, version 1.0.10*

This is a really cool game/book that I replayed many times to see the different endings and each one is very cool love this game

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2015-05-14*

This game is simply amazing. The depth of character is astounding, the text is descriptive, my only complaint is that it is too short. Nine episodes and two interludes is not enough time to fully explore all the possibilities at this game presents. That said I will still give this game five stars. It shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that not every game needs high-end graphics. This game though fully textbased has enough creativity and description to send your imagination soaring through the stars. I would recommend this to everyone I know.

### 5/5 — Great Story Telling!

*2015-04-16, version 1.0.8*

Great writing!   Great story!   Great fun!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2015-03-28*

I have played some of the other games by "choice of" and this one so far is my favorite. I loved watching Gundam Wing when I was younger and this game makes me feel like im piloting my very own mech. Couldnt put it down until I finished it.

### 5/5 — I'm not even a Mech guy...

*2015-03-20*

I don't care for mech based stories. I got this game out of a need to read something because I've just about read everything else from this company and others offering choice games. 
Reading this feels like you picked up a classic novel. It's as close to perfectly balanced as you can get for this type of game. It's long enough but not to long. Choices seem reasonable. Good character development and interesting endings.

### 5/5 — My favourite 'Choice' game yet!

*2015-03-07*

Really long and richly told story and decisions that are tricky and realistic. Definitely recommended.

### 5/5 — Captures the essence of mecha anime

*2015-02-08, version 1.0.8*

If you like mecha anime, or giant robots fighting each other in general, then this game is for you. Your decisions have an impact both in terms of battles, story, and interactions with other pilots, both ally and enemy.

### 5/5 — Liked the story.

*2015-01-17, version 1.0.8*

I wasn't optimistic when I purchased the app but I was wrong. I enjoyed it and hope that they will be putting out another Mecha story.

### 5/5 — brilliant

*2014-09-26*

this is another great choice of game with a good number of important decisions that can change the outcome and some really fun battles make this a must buy

### 5/5 — Skeptical

*2014-07-31, version 1.0.7*

I was skeptical at first but once I bought it and delved into this game I was stunned. I played this game nearly 5-6 times through. Definately a must have!!!

### 5/5 — Aww yiss

*2014-07-29, version 1.0.0*

Much good 
Very buy 
Such robot

### 1/5 — I want my money back!!

*2014-07-14*

I feel ripped off for the amount of context provided for this "game" 3$ not worth it

### 3/5 — Character Gender/ wording

*2015-06-04*

So even though I throughly enjoy this game, because of my fascination with mechs, and I thought it was mostly very well put together, I have to rate it low because although it was well thought out, I noticed several errors. One of those being, that even though my rival (Hawkins) gender was male, when I read through a few of the scenes it mistakingly said he was a female.
Another error that I felt should be addressed is some of the wording for instance
When choosing to save crown station the next page stats that crown station has fallen, indicating that it has been destroyed. That is just an example for ONE of the few other wording errors I found, but over all I loved this game. Maybe if an update or another one (similar to this one) were to come out I beg you to please pay a little more attention to some of the details, I also commend you for the creation of such an enjoyable game.

### 3/5 — A good story

*2014-10-15, version 1.0.8*

I liked how the story automatically absorbed me into this giant mech, but it was hard to start a new story again when I completed it. I would play it again, but only as a good time waster.

### 3/5 — Good game, a bit pricy

*2014-07-21, version 1.0.6*

It was fun and interesting to play, but I'm not entirely sure it was worth it's four dollar price tag.

### 3/5 — Good Story but...

*2014-07-02*

The price is too steep.

### 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.

### 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!

### 4/5 — Great game

*2015-09-21*

I'm really having trouble with this one part though and any help would be appreciated(I can't find anything online). I want to intimidate the imperial general into letting the fleet retreat (in the part where the superweapon is first revealed) and I managed to do it once but I can't figure out how again.

### 4/5 — It was a lot of fun

*2014-07-23, version 1.0.7*

A real fun text based mecha game. Pulls out a lot of classic mecha tropes that every mecha fan will love.

### 4/5 — Not everything in stats!

*2014-07-05*

Very cool! Basically gundam wing but different than the other choice of games where you can predict a lot of outcomes just by looking at your stats! Almost every choice really does effect character interaction significantly from what I've played. It's fun trying to get those hidden achievements.

### 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.

### 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!!!

### 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 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Best text based game I played

*2016-09-30*

I really enjoyed this game being a mecha and japanim fan for a long time. 

Tactical choices make sense and main char is great. I wish the game was longer to detailed more secondary characters. 

With the Hero serie, definitely my favourite.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-07-23, version 1.0.15*

It was an amazing story to be a part of!
