I will preface this by saying I love all things Gundam, and to that end there IS good here in this game, collecting and customizing mobile suits.

...however...

and this is a big BIG however.
I cannot recommend this game for several glaring reasons which I will provide detail for:
-the rock, paper, scissors nature of game play is completely unnecessary, and frankly bad game design. There would have been a huge improvement if this was simply not in the game.
-in games, there are several suits with extreme balance issues that are heads and tails better than others, and because its a gatcha game, you could be simply screwed by circumstances.
-while the above two reasons are bad, even getting into a match in the first place is an exercise in frustration with the frequency of disconnects, failed matchmaking, and just randomly getting a terrible host.
-because its free to play I can understand their need to make money, its important for the game to continue, but, $30 USD to make a 10 pull from a gatcha randomizer is hilariously overpriced, if it was 7, or maybe even 10 usd I could be convinced, but seeing the 30 price tag immediately sealed the NOPE in my mind.
-I personally have had a miserable experience in ranked play, which by the way is required to progress in the game and unlock purchases including weapons which would make things better. There were multiple occurences where I was below 1475 rating, and before you say "get good" one person does make a difference, but not enough to overcome 5 enemies. when you go into a "power play" waiting for a teamate to respawn, you will repeatedly get gangbanged, and there is nothing you can do about it. Getting spawn camped was a regular occurance.

I love Gundam, and the models and customization are above and beyond what Id expected, but the game is broken fundamentally, and financially. Do not buy into this, play it if you will, but dont buy in.
