I've been trying to get into fighting games for a very long time. Alongside SF6 this feels like one of the few that 's a complete package with full ease of play. There's no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ difficult combos and crazy special moves you have to spend a year figuring out, in a week you'll already be good enough to get into some epic matches.

TLDR if fighting games always frustrated you GET THIS!! Accessible, flashy, and amazing presentation and polish.

I'm a big Gundam fan and this is the only game ever made that comes to close to making you feel like you're piloting one.. EVEN THOUGH the IP isn't that at all! I hope Sunrise takes notes and copies the way they did the combat in this, because it is spectacular, the best mech action game ever made.

If you're a Fromsoft aficionado expecting a Soulslike game this is not it, don't come in expecting one. The game is mostly fairly easy by design and plays completely different. There are however some amazing bosses in this, so that part of the Souls DNA is mostly there.

Also if the game might seem very short, but it's meant to be completed THREE TIMES because there are three endings, with the third playthrough unlocking the chance to get the third elusive ending.

One of those rare sort of games where you really feel the devs put in a lot of love and care to create something special. Tons of content, crazy enemies, tons of creativity on display. I'd be very surprised if the team managed to create something on the scale of this again.

original devs good, new devs bad

Wow. This game oozes charm and never lets up with it start to finish. The writers, animators and designers must have worked in absolute perfect cohesion and it really shows. Worth it for presentation alone.

The gameplay is also very fun. It does suffer a lot from an interface that lacks a listing and sorting function however. Be prepared to manually have to write shopping lists in notepad a swell as other notes to keep track of everything you'll need to succeed. Apart from that though, incredibly heartwarming and enjoyable game 9.5/10. Can't wait to see what these devs do next.

The deflection and stagger mechanics in this game are genuinely innovative and make combat super engaging. So much so I wish every new game would copy those mechanics because its something that feels missing to me when I play other games. If you play this like a Dark Souls game you will have an incredibly ♥♥♥♥♥♥ time. Spam tapping the block button and discovering the intuitive deflection system and you'll have a great one.

As a long time Gundam fan, this game is insanely mediocre. It takes absolutely zero advantage of its IP and merely functions as an Overwatch clone with smaller maps, shorter matches and even more shallow gameplay, which is insane considering I already consider Blizzard's Overwatch shallow and uninteresting.

None of the MS feel like their anime counterparts. The devs cherry picked 2-3 abilities/weapons for a unit, and made it unique to that one (Only one MS is able to use vulcan head-guns, which is insane considering its a staple for 80% of MS). In the shows a Mobile Suit has atleast eight arnaments and systems, all of which would make for an interesting game, but this game abandons all of that to create a somehow *even more* casualized version of Overwatch, which makes no sense considering that game came out years ago and it's no longer a novel concept.

So there it is. Tiny battlefields with a handful of MS that barely feel true to their source material, and you CAN'T EVEN FLY - in a Gundam game. Some MS can transform into mobile-armor mode to fly for a WHOLE THREE SECONDS. More wasted potential for Gundam. They should have made a massive Battlefield style game where every unit feels detailed with all the functions of their anime-versions, but instead we get this slapdash low effort game that feels like it belongs on mobile phones.

Back in 2015 the first Freedom Planet was a kind of anti-depression for me at the time. It was colorful, amazing soundtrack, had the pixel graphics I missed a lot and had a great personality to it. Sure, the dialogue oftentimes got a little cringe, but it was an indie game. Fast forward to now and in the sequel they improved upon pretty much everything. The dialogue still tastes the same as the previous game which may throw some people off, but it's cute if you try to embrace it.

The graphics are bloody amazing. Some levels have like four levels of background scrolling and it looks incredible in action. There are sooooo many little animations and details. The water even has animations when you interact with it. I know how difficult it is to make pixel art and animating, so the fact they managed to cram so much of it in here is amazing, and with FOUR playable characters that are nothing alike. Even the music, just as the first game, remains catchy as heck.

So yeah, definitely get this if 2d games are your thing, the levels are much bigger and more elaborate than the first game's, and overall amount of content and polishing is exactly what you'd want from a proper sequel. No wonder it took seven years. On Normal difficulty the bosses to my pleasant surprise actually get challenging too.

I NEED SEASON 2 OF TEH ANIME, PLEASE MAKE IT I NEEDS IT @________@
If you havn't watched it, its the most wholesome positive vibes feel good show I ever seen

FUGH! So I had fun with this game but it wasn't what I thought it would be, and most of the game drove me mentally !@#$ing crazy as a result. I bought the game thinking it would be a Souls'ey action game with sweet swish swwoooo swish lightsaber action but that's only 20% of the game. 80% of the game is running around these confusing big levels that make no sense realistically even in the context of Star Wars with tons of platforming, climbing, puzzles and tomb raider stuff. Now, there's nothing wrong with those things, I love playing platformers and Tomb Raider, but in this game those aspects were done in a way that is usually more of a slog than adding to any fun.

..What absolutely nutters me about the above is that small handful of boss fights that are in the game are freaking awesome because the combat feels very fun. Yet some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game director or something decided NAH most of the game should be about meandering around these maze-like levels instead of banking on the sweet lightsaber combat. I spent a lot of time in this game wishing I could be put in some gauntlets of combat but instead it makes you work for it by enduring hours of boring sections and puzzles you usually have to youtube because they're obtuse as ♥♥♥♥.

As for the story the characters are MLEH. The protaganist is just another milqtoast good guy, the alien ship captain is an annoying unfunny ♥♥♥♥ that you can tell they tried really hard to be endearing (he's not. Did nobody learn the lesson of Jar-Jar Binks?). The ex-Jedi woman on the ship is fine I guess, and there are other side charatcers, but the game feels so short that by the timje they start exploring those other characters the game is already over! Oh and the story is about collecting mcguffins that don't even matter by the end. Sheesh, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ EA what's been going in the office past fifteen years? Handed Star Wars and couldn't even make a cool story with it.
