Customisation options allow specialisation in a system that does away with any overt classing, and sacred storyline laws are dissolved in much the same manner as within the Warriors Orochi games. Secondly, the Gundam mecha work as vehicles that can be upgraded and then democratised for any pilot character to use. These objectives are also dynamically selected. Capturing enough zones tips the tide and prompts the boss to appear, but secondary objectives offer additional rewards. Firstly, the game's stages are mostly dynamically generated for each play-through and can feature a number of zones that have dramatic effects on the overall battle.
It can be a leisurely romp in big robots or a bastard-hard fight for survival, and Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 never takes away your option to decide which end of the spectrum you want to play.
It's a title that offers an impressive curve of progress and longevity, where the endgame clears away any restriction on pilot and mecha choice, and where the degree of challenge is entirely the player's to decide. It's a game that places player choice at the heart of matters, setting a target of optimisation and efficiency. It's actually the Musou concept abstracted and quantised into a much deeper experience that's closer to Disgaea than Dynasty Warriors tradition. After two previous games, it seemed that the third title would be business as usual. Bearing no relation whatsoever to the combat seen in the various strains of Gundam anime series, it's a curious link-up. At first glance, it's a cel-shaded hybrid of Bandai's legendary mecha universe and Dynasty Warriors' slash-happy crowd clearing. It's akin to saying racing games are just pressing two buttons and moving left and right to be faster than everyone else, or that shoot 'em-ups are nothing but holding down the fire button and avoiding bullets.ĭynasty Warriors Gundam 3 was released in 2010 and found its way to European shores in 2011. This is, perhaps, the most reductively shallow and inaccurate appraisal in video games history. You do this over and over until the game has nothing left to give, and that's that. When you've duffed up enough of them, you've won. You're some powerful warrior, you run around chopping at large groups of cannon fodder, then beat up some tougher opponents with names over their head. It's often assumed that all of Tecmo Koei's Musou titles are largely the same game.
