I had the option to leave my battleship to be defended by the base while I went on the offensive, to fight waves of enemies to try to destroy the enemy’s battleship. This presented many different strategies to complete each mission. One thing I liked about the game is that some level of strategy is involved, especially now that you can give orders to both your battleship and allied squad mobile suits from a menu. The game controls its difficulty by assigning players optional objectives to complete. In my campaign, I encountered skirmishes, battleship escort, defend the base and conquest type of missions. The single player campaign for Gundam Extreme VS Force offers a pretty good variety of missions. Luckily, the game supports multiplayer mode and players can still duke it out with each other. Hopefully this mode will appear later on, maybe as a reward for completing the story mode, or even as a future DLC. To be honest, I was expecting a free play mode where I could set up dream matches, or form a team using my favorite mobile suits, to brawl with the enemy AI. The game takes you a trip down memory lane as it brings you through several missions based on the major events from the various Gundam series that have been released in the last decade or so.Ī word of warning to fans of the series – there is no other single player mode besides the campaign.
The game play for Gundam Extreme VS Force features fast paced mecha combat, where mobile suits from the various Gundam Universe come together to duke it out on the battlefield. Nevertheless, here’s a shout out to the Singapore team at Bandai Namco Entertainment for making this English version of Gundam Extreme VS Force possible!
The localization, by Bandai Namco Entertainment Singapore, is only for the text and menus though, so the dialogue remains in Japanese, preserving the feel of playing a Japanese anime game. This means that there is no need for players to find a translation guide to decipher the Japanese menus or tweak the game, and to read up the story line after completing a mission. Gundam fans outside of Japan can now rejoice in knowing that they can play the English version of Gundam Extreme VS Force exclusively on the PS Vita portable console.
