I was allured by the actual gundam characters and the 3D models. Little did I know, the actual gameplay was just a “sit and watch” type game, I legit did nothing and still won after pressing the A.I feature. Without the 2x feature, I’d already delete the game since it’ll be so slow. ALSOOOO, why is the 4x speed feature locked behind a user account level????? I was told that I could get a “vip code” but I was forced to do absolutely EVERYTHING the tutorial said, there was no freedom and user control… Not to mention how janky and confusing some of the UI animations were, I didn’t know what was happening half the time. During the actual “fighting” parts of the game, the “final attack” animations were decent, however they weren’t final whatsoever and many were required to kill a single enemy so each animation just got kind of obnoxious after some time. I’d like to play the game once a lot of the details and explanations were more refined since the story can be so easily skipped over and ignored, it’s legit just png’s with text over them. Please just refine everything to make it look better 😭 ### 4/5 — nice game *2025-03-15* the game is great, and I love how the cool suits like the unicorns or GN00 suits arent too hard to get (ive been playing for a week and my main lineup is Phenex, Kimaris Vidar, Dynames, Cherudim, and Zabanya. I just wish the campaign wouldnt level lock you. i hate that i can only progress through 5 campaign levels then i have to wait to level up 2 levels. But other than that, collecting the MC suits is really fun and cool **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your support and love for the game.

The cost to upgrade past 2 red star is insane. Doing dailies takes 10-20 minutes and you aren’t actually doing anything, you’re just clicking through accepting small rewards and saying no to the same very poor purchases. The purchases for their cost not only don’t make sense, they’re not worth it at all. The randomness of lotteries is rigged for sure. I have an example of ten times where the best thing you could spin for, was always last. It’s never truly random, it’s an offensive cash grab. Apparently the game is also not officially licensed so we may not see it for long. The story progression is also very quickly capped as you are stuck not being able to regularly upgrade mechs. The developers must have never designed a game before, this one is in need of a lot of work. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t open *2025-02-28, version 1.1* I love this game, but now it doesn’t open why I tap the icon. This is very disappointing and I spent money on this game ### 4/5 — This game has potential *2025-02-26* This game has great potential I have been playing for a week and some change, I’ve never played anything like this with the robots but the only thing that kills the game is the limits on missions I run through all missions within an hour and I’m forced to wait for next day to continue grinding but that’s alright I enjoy the game very much **Developer response:** Thank you very much for the support and love.Your enthusiastic participation has made the game world even more wonderful! For any issues or concerns, we recommend reaching out to our customer service directly within the game. ### 2/5 — My fleet got stolen *2025-02-25, version 1.1* I love this game but bro my fleet got stolen even tho I never gave no one captin ### 2/5 — Typical gacha games *2025-02-08, version 1.1* Nothing particularly stand out about this game. Pretty much reskin any gacha games out there with gundam, throw in lots of different currencies to hinder your progress and this is what you get. ### 3/5 — quite competent gacha, but packed to the brim with AI *2025-01-22, version 1.1* hell, it's in the main menu! the 3d models are good, but a staggering amount of the 2d art is AI genned. pretty sad considering how many 2d artists they could've employed with the gundam licensing. ### 1/5 — The FB adds lied *2025-01-21, version 1.1* If you’re like me and you only downloaded this game after seeing a fake YouTube video promoting “1000 free wishes” or some nonsense don’t waste your time because you get none ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update *2025-04-15, version 1.1* Every single time the update just keep restarting automatically when it’s finish, and I stuck on the screen for over 3 hours with no progress. ### 1/5 — Glitchy unlicensed mess *2025-04-07, version 1.1* Mildly interesting at first but it’s just your garden variety gacha game. If you want to click some buttons and waste time go for it. Glitchy game with broken English everywhere. ### 1/5 — A matter of time *2025-03-19, version 1.1* I have nothing against the team who developed this and I respect the business venture. However, let’s be honest it’s a cash grab because it’s unfortunately not officially licensed so they will get copyright struck in due time. The game however, is not terrible and it’s a decent little app to pass some time like 5-10 minutes per day because it’s that fast to do your daily tasks. ### 1/5 — Got Scammed? *2025-03-05, version 1.1* I purchased the $0.99 pack and was charged $19.99! What’s going on with this game? Looks legit and is fun, but get your code straight! I’ll update my review when the rest of my money is returned! EDITED after Developer Response: No, I made a single $.99 purchase and I haven’t made any other Apple purchases in weeks. I purchased the $.99 package and when it popped up after I confirmed, I saw my card tell me I was charged $19.99. My account notifies me of transactions with a pop up notification. This notification occurred directly after the purchase. Just check your system. ### 1/5 — Waste of time it’s Pay To Win *2025-03-01, version 1.1* This game is almost impossible to succeed in without spending a lot of money. They hook you early with good rewards, but to progress further, be prepared to spend at least $100+ USD. For someone like me, things get even worse since everything costs double or even triple what it should. So it’s a-bit frustrating to be locked behind a paywall. If this game weren’t so pay-to-win, it could easily be game of the year. It’s a real shame because it has great potential Yeah, they have events and stuff like that for F2P (Free to Play) players, but what’s the point of participating? When The whales just buy everything to get to the top of the event, so it feels pretty pointless and unfair. ### 1/5 — Not from Bandai *2025-02-24, version 1.1* How can App Store allow this to be in store. This is not official from Bandai….. ### 1/5 — Merger *2025-02-20, version 1.1* The game was good until the merger of servers the rechargeable gift does not work anymore and in game help tells to contact them for you to get the item’s manually but there is on opinion for you to contact them about it I’m a low spend player was about to play in the top ten players but now can get into the top 50 due to all the high spending players are now in the server which has taken all the fun out of the game ### 1/5 — 玩了1-2个月的感受 *2025-02-10, version 1.1* 1:到处都是托，流星装备，和哈喽球和机师的获取是很多活动伤害的基础，但托根本就能随便获取能打出大量伤害，而星球和手办是最能提高战力但相对比较难解决很多活动的伤害。2:玩家素质真的很一般，都在骂来骂去….真让体验感降低太多。作为高达游戏喜欢高达的一份子是真心喜欢，但真的环境不友善 ### 1/5 — it never loads *2025-02-09, version 1.1* ive been waiting hours a day multiple days and it never loads wouldn’t recommend ### 1/5 — Not worth your time. *2025-02-04, version 1.1* Title. It’s the usual idle game slop with a Gundam coat of paint, and given how odd some of the names, spelling and grammar are I’m 99% sure they aren’t licensed to use this coat of paint either. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Account banning *2025-03-08, version 1.1* My account was banned and I wasn’t told the reasoning or even given a heads up befoe hand I wasn’t aware that you couldn’t request a refund but honestly I never requested a refund ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-02-26, version 1.1* Better than other Gundam gacha games and plenty of mobile suits ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2025-02-17, version 1.1* Great game! Lots of fun, only draw back is if you don’t pay with real money the progress is really slow, would love to see something to help us progress a little faster. (Or other game modes) ### 5/5 — Lots in game *2025-02-05, version 1.1* Game is fresh, has lots of content to keep you busy. Free to play players there is lots a ways to earn in game credits. Lots of pay walls for other features in game. ### 5/5 — An insane gundam game *2025-02-04, version 1.1* As a gundam fan I was stoked when this came out and it was as good as I was expected if not better ### 5/5 — Appreciation *2025-02-03* Started playing this game recently and been hooked into this since making this review. Definitely worth investing my time into this game with my interests in Gundam/ Gunpla. Looking forward to more selections and awaiting the upcoming sections of the game features to open up… “we’re Gundams”. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your support.

Please add Bael next! ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-01-21, version 1.1* Awesome so far ### 5/5 — Licensed or Not? *2025-01-21* I like the game, but wish it was easier to acquire optimization devices since it does slow you down needing them to upgrade every 10-20 levels which hinders your progression. Also fear that this game is not licensed and if Bandai namco doesn’t approve, that they will take all the money earned by its player base and not refund anyone it does state on google it is not licensed but hope it’ll get cleared by them **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your support.
