PC User Reviews

Gundam Evolution is a game I wanted to like so badly, I constantly saw glimmers of what this game could be, yet those glimmers were always followed by a big slap in the face showing me that from the beginning this game was doomed to fail. This game succeeds in creating a memorable roster of both iconic and niche characters all with varying roles and mechanics that each character feels extremely unique from one another. There are your clearly defined roles such as tank, healer, and assault, but then there are your oddball picks such as melee based only gundams and jack-of-all trades gundams who aren't necessarily the best at one thing but adequate at everything. These aren't characters you can immediately pick up either and dominate, there are of course your introductory characters that anyone can use, but some of the other gundams require a major time investment to properly figure out how to play them and while I've never reached that time investment I've seen what is capable as a single player who knows what they're doing can absolutely steam roll an entire team. That also brings up an issue however, as while it's important that each player feels as if they're contributing to the overall goal, a lot of these gundams are improperly balanced to the point where it is blatantly unfair to use them. That's not to mention that a decent chunk of these characters are locked behind in-game currency. While you might be able to buy roughly two-three with currency you own, that requires a ton of grinding and a majority of players are going to have to dish out money if they want to play these characters. Having to pay for things with real world money is a common theme across this game as you get next to nothing for leveling up and it feels absolutely awful to fight through a tough match where you come out on top yet only get XP, and the XP gains are super low too. Once you start this game you are given beginner challenges that gives you enough credits to buy I believe one new gundam and they even give you some lootboxes as well so you can hopefully get some cool cosmetics too. But once you complete all of those, you're essentially left high and dry with almost no way to earn anything through gameplay. The only times you can earn something is when a limited time event rolls away and that's it. You want to get that cool skin for your gundam, sorry you need an absurd amount of credits to unlock that, why don't you just outright buy it from our overpriced store. Oh, we don't have it in the store, well why don't you gamble away at our lootboxes with terrible drop rates and just pray that you get it, it should only cost you roughly 100 dollars, that seems fair doesn't it. Around every corner the game is trying to nickel and dime you for something, it's almost actively trying to dissuade you from playing their game. The worst part is half the cosmetics don't even look good, they're so boring as they're just color changes that in the 1/1000 chance I get something cool from the lootboxes, I don't care at all. It feels awful writing that too as the game is actually really fun to play. Sure it's just a riff on Overwatch, but it cranks everything up to 11 making the gameplay feel a lot more fast paced and action packed that even with all the they throw at you, I still would rather play it over Overwatch. The gunplay feels good, the movement is fast and fluid, all the maps for the most part feel properly designed besides a few sections, there was very rarely a moment where I felt like the outcome of a match wasn't in my control. But the monetization really just ruins the game for me, and I can't even recommend playing through it because it's shutting down. I had three achievements prior to writing this review that I wanted to go back and try and unlock, one of those being reach gold in rank. I was fairly decent at the multiplayer so this isn't a monumental task, but I couldn't even do that as the player base is so dead that it was impossible to find a ranked match, everyone driven away from the decision to lock everything behind a paywall. Let me make it clear too, I don't blame the developers for this, I blame the higher ups who made the call to do this as they ruined a genuinely fun game. In order to unlock those three missing achievements, I had to do a work around because there was legitimately no other way, and while I try to do everything legit I just couldn't this time. I really wish this game was served a better fate, because at it's core it was pretty fun to play, but those higher up executives destroyed it, and that's the biggest shame of them all; a game cannibalizing itself.

This could have been something, but there is too much competition in the hero shooter market, especially after Overwatch went free to play. It needed more than a gundam reskin to make it BETTER than the rest, and to stand out. Was born to fail at launch.

Good gameplay, terrible everything else. One new unit to play costs 10 bucks, you can get a real gundam for 20. Unlocking anything as f2p is almost impossible so forget it.

To be honest I find it a lot more enjoyable than any other team shooters like Siege and Overwatch The lack of roles gives the players more freedom, also any pick is quite viable both in offense and defense situations Although the new mobile suits after official launch are kinda strong, still imho there's no gamebreaking pay-to-win one, at least yet So much potential in Gundam Evolution, and I wish Bamco would never waste that

This game is great, the people who are complaining are probably salty overwatch fans. After how bad overwatch has got with its sequel. It is so refreshing to play this, its fast, its intense and runs so smoothly, unlike where overwatch feels choppy and unbalances. This game is an absolute blast so if you are a fan of any team shooters and like huge robot mechas I highly recommend this

Game hands down is the best quick and gritty team based shooter out there. There is no real support class any class will do. Every class has its merits. Lets start off with laughing together about the bad reviews because people are salty about region locking? They are upset that their region has crappy internet and it will bog down other regions so they come here with their little warrior fingers and leave a bad review. There are also reviews saying its play to win, its not. The starting classes you get are just fine and do exactly what you need them to do. I play a good amount and I can see where people would get upset that they feel useless. The player base in the US is not that big and the people who do play, play a lot and we get pretty good with head shots. Just put in the time and you will have a blast. Iv met a lot of cool people playing this game and even the discord channel for it had a lot of neat people who just know whats up. This game has fantastic maps, game modes, and all the suits in it are fantastic and fun. Everything has its purpose so far. I really have no complaints.

Overwatch with Gundam essentially :) it’s fun, and free. Give it a go ! I feel like the characters could be a tad more balanced though, eager to see what new Gunpla get added down the road.

Gundam Evolution provides the baseline for a fast paced team shooter. While it avoids some pitfalls established by Blizzard's Overwatch, it trips and falls into other issues causing the experience to get muddled. Definitely keep an eye out for this game to see if the developers address the issues and make up with additional content and a friendlier game environment in their in game shop.

Really fast paced gameplay, all units are fun to play with, Unicorn Gundam main from now on.

I love this game, though I feel like I'm the exact target audience. 1) I love gundam in all its forms from realistic to cartoony. 2) I'm not a huge FPS player, I've played TF2, Overwatch, Paladins, Splatoon 1 2 and 3, //ALL the Halo games//, Tribes, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, Titanfall 1 and 2, Counterstrike, and a few others I can't recall, so basically I don't go LOOKING for a multiplayer shooter, I wait for one that fits me to come out and enjoy it. I'm a little dissapointed in how the monetization works, but it is what it is, people should just have fun with the standard roster till they earn enough to unlock. The five locked suits are NOT premium or overpowered, I've dropped unicorn gundam with RX-78 no problem. A mobile suit is only as powerful as the pilot is skilled. The game has a very low barrier for entry for hardware too. I very capably run this game at 60 fps in 4k, while streaming, it's magnificent! My only criticism would be that Namco Bandai need to find better way to give us capital for robot unlocks. Cheers! Enjoy your giant robot shenanigans!

this game is basically gundam minus all realism (which is what makes gundam cool) and then add speed or cocaine in constant respawning fast paced third person shooter deathmatch. not gundam or coolness at all. just standard fps deathmatch wirh gundam overlay.

This Game... not even a game because it is region locked here in Australia and UK. so i am going to bomb this game thanks to the sheer stupidity of the Devs/Pub who don't know what they are doing.

it looks good but it's not, such mess, no need for ideas, just copy Overwatch and mix it with music from the series. Horrible gameplay design, you can play tank and die under a second 1v1, hideous guns, abilities, terrible sound, lack of settings, technical issues, sensitivity speeds up and slows down, servers disconnect, unstable graphics performance, you name it, and above all that it only works in certain ereas. ****.

Gundawatch doesn't cut it for me. But hear me out. Once you get past the iconic sounds and mobile suits the game itself is pretty shallow. I understand they opted for a team-shooter F2P game but it honestly feels not unlike a first person Super Mecha Champions game. Which is a mobile game which is graphically and gameplay wise almost 1:1. The gameplay loop is essentially either burning abilities then retreating to a health powerup or picking at people from range. The maps themselves are tragically done. Suitable for perhaps Halo and really give no sense of scale. It feels like a reskin of an existing shooter than a new game. That's just how disjointed the aesthetic is. The UI itself is terrible. Chat beeping every few moments to report a death. You always have someone unware of the OBJ and dying repeatedly so you get a nice little beep. You can't turn it off. It's utterly pointless to have an audio cue for when someone else dies when you have a feed (that they force into chat so you can't see what people are typing easily). No effort or care has been put into this to make me think it's anything other than a cash grab aimed at the fanbase. Honestly, I really wanted to like it. But I found myself looking at this UI thinking "If this is the direction they're going to take I'm not really going to enjoy this". It's not a good sign if while playing a game you're absentmindedly thinking about the UI instead of thinking about my next move or where I need to be. The game modes are just so badly designed and implemented it's hard to get invested. I'm level 18 now so maybe in 2 levels I'd enjoy playing against more skilled people...only kidding. If you disconnect (which you will) you get a timeout ban. I'd get it for ranked but this is for casual. If you were to strip Gundam out of this game completely I'd probably enjoy it more. But because I know what they're taking inspiration from I can only think of what a waste this game is in general.

Some really good feature (sarcasm) made by Bandai Namco Games in 2022. Region lock in EU. That's funny. Worst release for sure in 2022.
