SD Gundam Battle Alliance feels like a game best experienced playing with friends, rather than going it solo. I’ll mention upfront that this game supports multiplayer co-op for up to 3 players, and because I… well, played this before launch, I had to go through all of it entirely by my lonesome. I ultimately came away from SD Gundam Battle Alliance a little mixed - though not necessarily in a bad or negative way. Yep, it’s been a whole decade already, and that’s why I was so curious to see how SD Gundam Battle Alliance would turn out. To put it into perspective, the last time Artdink developed a Gundam game before SD Gundam Battle Alliance was Gundam Seed Battle Destiny on the Vita in 2012. From the handful that I played back then, the two I enjoyed the most were Gundam Battle Chronicle and Gundam Battle Universe.

Artdink was most active during the peak of the PSP era, and their name is one that resonates in very niche western communities that imported (or “obtained”) Gundam games on the PSP, since those games never received official English localizations.

In recent years prior to that, the studio had mostly been working on releasing entries in the A-Train series, a simulation game, in Japan. When Bandai Namco revealed that Artdink was developing it, I knew I had to get my hands on the game.Īrtdink had a resurgence in global markets earlier this year with the release of Triangle Strategy. Sure, I’m a bit of a sucker for Gundam games, but this one stood out from a legacy standpoint.

I have been looking forward to SD Gundam Battle Alliance ever since its announcement back in February.
