Never seen gundam but the premise of hero shooter + big robots was enticing enough for me to try out.

The suits each play different but look indistinguishable at first lol, and in the clusterfuck of a match can be hard to tell apart. You have flankers, melee, tanks, mid-rangers and finally a sniper. They don’t have dedicated roles, but some suits fit the support or dps mold better than others. Some suits are slightly better than others, and I say that without considering the paid suits, which is where the game fucking fails.

It’s F2P and and has THREE different types of currency (that aren’t really explained?). There is almost no progression, what with a currency being locked behind dailies and weeklies, not to mention some beginner challenges. It takes an extreme amount of time to even unlock one character without paying for a battle pass (or so I’ve heard, I aint grinding for that shit). Keeping some suits locked away behind the battle pass will kill the already dwindling player base, which compounds the issue of the one-sided matches that are becomjng more common.

Maps are decent, the fluid movement feels great, and the movesets are interesting enough that everyone can find at least 2 suits to pick, imo.

I wish this game would be the OW2 killer but this P2W crap doomed it from the start.
