The story involves a space monster called Gilgilgun who destroys worlds and has reached the Super Robot homeworld. Only a few robots have the strength to fight this monster, and its up to the player to defeat him. You first select which team you want: Gundam, Getter, or Mazinger. Choosing the starting team lets you start with the mecha from that team only at first and you can recruit other mechas during the missions. The Gundam team has the most mecha to start with while the Getter team has the least. After you pick the team, you pick the "hero", which acts as the leader of the team. If the hero dies, the game ends. After which you apply bonus stat points and then the game finally starts. As mentioned earlier, the game is a tactical game, so the game plays on a grid based map. The object of the game is to capture the enemy tower. You can move anywhere but only at a limited distance and it can vary due to terrain (i.e. mountains are much more difficult to move in unless you have a mecha that can fly ). When a character gets close to the enemy, you choose what weapon to attack the enemy with and they vary on the distance of attack. For example: nuGundam's beam saber can only hit when the enemy is right next to the player, however the fin funnel can attack up to four spaces from the mecha. Selecting the menu button on a mecha can also have the ability to look at the status of the mecha, and go into the "Special" menu selection, which you can try to convince an enemy to join your team, change into a different form (if the mecha can) or use spirit power (which only the hero can do this). Spirit power uses SP points and can raise specifications of the mecha, such as enhancing their power or defense. Spirit power's effects are limited and run out after a few turns. Using the menu button on the enemy only shows the specifications and using it on a empty spot of the map the player can cycle through seeing the whole map, use a power-up item, or end your turn. It also shows how many turns you have took. Power-up items are found when you look in various towers. Towers also have a ability to gain back health, albeit very little, and isn't only accessible to you. The enemies will take advantage of this as well. Items are equipable onto the robot itself as opposed to later games that are designated to the pilot. The graphics are quite primitive for the Game Boy compared to other RPG games released like Final Fantasy Legend (SaGa 1) but it still holds up to other strategy games released around the same time. The character models are all Super Deformed and are quite detailed. The game features battle sequences with mechas shooting lasers and bullets at each other, explosion animations, and (depending on the mecha) a transformation animation. The music is pretty bland too, repeating the same track throughout the entire game outside battles can get really annoying to the point where I believe it has caused mass hysteria . However limited the animation and music are, the 13 missions take quite some time to clear and can take up to an hour or more to clear just one map. Usually, elements of games' sequels have all the features included and more, but this game is one of only two in the series that have a multiplayer function. (The other being Super Robot Taisen XO for the X-Box 360). Characters Mobile Suit Gundam Plot: The year is Universal Century 0079.
