As a Gundam fan who has seen the majority of entries in the metaseries, I was impressed with how well the characters were represented. More important than the story is the presence of dozens of fan favorite characters, and the ability to see them interact with one another. It’s a flimsy excuse for a mash-up game, but is there ever a good one? The story is told through several branching paths for groups of pilots which converge first into two branches (mostly representing “bad guys” and “good guys”) and then finally into one branch for the last few battles and the final boss.

Various pilots from various eras and dimensions have been transported to an alternate universe (mysteriously full of familiar locales from their various realities), and seek a way back to their correct planes of existence. There’s a story behind Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3, but you aren’t likely to care about it.

Through that lens I have found Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3 to be a satisfying, if still somewhat flawed, experience.

As a critic I try to review games for their intended audience, and as a long-time Gundam fan I believe that includes me. Both sides make valid points about the game, and the truth of the game’s quality is likely somewhere in-between the beliefs of both parties. That is fans love it, and critics hate it. Of course, again, all of this content is somewhat hampered by the fact that the game does get repetitive, and there are glaring omissions in the mobile suit roster, but there’s no denying it’s a massive game.ĭynasty Warriors as a franchise tends to ignite a love-hate relationship. The field controlling game seems almost perfectly suited to competitive multiplayer, and the franchise would do well to add it in the future. It does, however, highlight the lack of further multiplayer in the franchise. It’s not a particularly robust online system, but it does encourage cooperation, and the 15 missions available are fun.

In addition, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3 offers an online multiplayer co-op mode for the first time ever. The single-player campaign alone took me 35 hours, though it’s possible to complete it faster. More than 50 mobile suits, more than 70 pilots, and more than 300 missions total well over 100 hours of content to play and unlock. If there is a value standard for action games the Dynasty Warriors franchise would surely hold it, if it didn’t get so repetitive.
