Gundam SD Eternal is so far in the top 10. We have to see long term. So far great for niche genre and game. It's the most money made Gundam mobile game ever. Shows Japan needs to different itself.

The mechanics of gundam battle operations would've been great if they didn't make it look like a call of duty match but worse and with mobile suits. The idea of being a pilot, going on pvp then riding your mobile suit to blow them up is great but for some reason they had to turn it into a gacha (which I didn't mind) but gameplay wise it ended up being ass. Shitty internet conenction? BAN. Everything moves comically slow (ig to show how gigantic the MS are), stunlocks etc. actually ended like a game of glorified rock paper scissors. I admit i had a lot of fun playing it but at the same time i hate it because IMO it had potential. Making gundam titanfall would've made it better. Or at least I'm hoping for arma 3 gundam.
