![]() Characters talked, but the dialog was often so banal that too much sent me sliding toward coma-town. There is a story to be had somewhere in there, but I’ll be damned if I could be made to give a crap about it. It’s you, your mobile suit, and your twitch versus endless waves of bad-guys that exist solely for you to destroy. What it is, is a Dynasty Warriors game through and through with all that “a Dynasty Warriors game” implies. It’s not a very good hack and slash action game, and it’s not a very good giant robot game either. I should get this out of the way right now: Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 is not a very good game. Gundams are back, and it was my job to put Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 through its paces. This particular game eschews the historical setting for a science fiction/anime aesthetic, and trades human warriors for my old friend, the giant robot. I’d never played a Dynasty Warriors game before, but I knew their reputations: One fighter versus a mindless and endless rush of bad guys often based on real historic people, places, and battles. In the interest of full disclosure, let me say that I went into this game cold. I’m here to talk about the newest entry into the well-trodden Dynasty Warriors series. And for as long as I still shopped there, he would ask me about it to no avail.īut I’m not here to wax nostalgic about those days long past when I was in the middle of my “giant robot” period. Today, all I really remember about Gundam Side Story 079 is that when I went to sell it to the local independent used game store in the mall, the proprietor’s eyes got big as saucers when he came upon the case, only to transform, a second later, into the visage of a child that got underwear for Christmas when he opened the case and discovered (to both of our surprises) that the disc was missing. To me, giant robots fighting with energy swords was not something I’d ever thought to experience without chemical aid. Sure, there were machine guns, cannons, and missiles, but there were also energy swords. They looked like people, with heads, faces, and arms that held guns furthermore, they didn’t fight like the mechs I was used to either. The games I played had mechs that looked like bi-pedal tanks and fought with mostly conventional tank-based weaponry, but not those “gundams” as I called them. What better way is there to spend an afternoon than stomping around a battlefield, towering over your foes, and destroying them like the insect they are? However, Gundam was a new experience for me. My answer to that question is “giant robots.” At that point in my gaming life, I was obsessed with giant robot games and for good reason. Now you might be asking yourself why someone would buy a Mobile Suit Gundam game unless they were fans of the franchise. I believe it was Gundam Side Story 079, and it was my first, and until recently, only exposure to the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise. The new Recovery System enables players to recover armor during battle allowing players more flexibility in their tactics on the battlefield.Many years ago, when I was still dumb enough to purchase games based solely on how impressive the back of the box was, I purchased a Gundam game.
