Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 Gets Dated
I can’t even count the ways I love this game. For those of you who may not have played the series, Dynasty Warriors Gundam combines the legendary anime with Koei’s Dynasty Warriors game mechanics. The end result? You control one of the enormous mechs as you fight through hordes of giant robots until you face off against other new-types in a bid to control the battlefield. Sure, the gameplay can seem a bit repetitive at times, but unlike the original Dynasty Warrior games, the Gundam series has always presented me with more of a challenge.
Between having to accomplish missions within the scope of the battle itself, and constantly being thrown the proverbial curve-ball while attempting to complete those assignments, the game never seems to ease off the pressure. You can also make constant modifications to your Gundams which helps improve your gaming experience over time. Needless to say, it’s not just smashing buttons and hoping for the best.
As you can imagine, I’m pretty excited to hear that an official release date has been announced… for Japan. Don’t worry, this is one of those titles you can probably import without freaking out too much about the text and voice acting being entirely in Japanese. There’s a bit of reading, but when it comes to actually playing the game, you’ll probably have an easy time. If you want to mark your calenders, as I fully intend to do so myself, the game gets released December 16th. Oh, and if you’re wondering, yes that’s a screenshot of the actual gameplay above — it’s beautifully cell-shaded now.
