Release Date: December 1, 2011
A three-dimensional fight in which two-person teams of pilots, sitting at the helm of big robots, appearing in series and films from the Gundama universe, stand in front of each other. The production is a direct conversion of one of the most popular titles in Japanese game rooms, which has been improved and enriched with new game modes.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. is the tenth installment of the popular in Japan series of fights, allowing players to take on the role of moss pilots known from series, films and comic strips from the universe of Gundam. Previous parts of the series were created thanks to Capcom, but work on Extreme Vs. has already been carried out in Namco Bandai studios. In 2010, the production debuted in Japanese gaming salons, beating in popularity rankings the most famous battles, such as Street Fighter IV, BlazBlue or Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The game port for Playstation 3 console was released enriched with new gameplay modes, DLC and numerous patches.
In Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. we sit at the helm of dozens of mosses, appearing in practically all the most important gundam series, which were created during more than thirty years of the brand's existence. The game does not have a feature mode, but between and during the fights, we will see and hear well-known heroes.
Producers have put at the disposal of players several different game modes. In basic - arcade - we fight against stronger and stronger teams to finally face a powerful boss. In training mode we check the combinations of movements and get used to the combat system. In any fight we set the rules of the duel in which we participate. Challenge mode allows you to participate in missions unlocking additional bonuses in the game. In online gameplay, on the other hand, we measure forces with opponents from all over the world.
During the game we take part in duels of two-person teams. In singleleplayer, the second player is controlled by AI. We are fighting in large three-dimensional arenas, and the action is observed from the perspective of a third person. As in the case of the best representatives of the species, apart from the standard range of movements (jumps, running, etc.), we can perform complex combo and spectacular special movements. Depending on the chosen model, the mosses have different weapons - white and energetic weapons, rockets, etc. It has limited ammunition and the number of uses. Robots also differ in strength and speed.
Before the fight we choose two of our team. Each, depending on the force, is assigned a value from 1000 to 3000 points. We always have 6000 points to distribute. If you choose two robots costing 1000, when one of them is destroyed during the battle, it can be returned to the battlefield at least 4 times more, using a spare pool of points. Having two strong matches, on which we spent 3000 points each, we no longer have such a possibility and after destroying one of them we lose the duel. Players must therefore match the team to their style of play and the tactics of the opponent.
Multiplayer mode allows you to play two people on a split screen and play on the Internet. In the network we can take part in duels and tournaments, and thanks to winnings we can gain experience, thanks to which we develop the possibilities of the most frequently used mosses.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. should appeal to all Gundama fans. Robot models are accurate and full of detail. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about arenas. The game works very smoothly, even in the hottest moments, which is especially important in the case of fights.
