Best Mobile Suit Gundam Game of All Time

The Mobile Suit Gundam franchise is among the largest and most successful properties in the world. It dominates everything from physical goods to anime to movies and much more. However, while there are plenty of Gundam video games, not all of them are great. So, what is the best overall Mobile Suit Gundam game of all time?

With the recent release of Gundam Breaker 4, some of our Siliconera staff members gathered together to reminiscent about what we think are the best Mobile Suit Gundam games of all time.

Siliconera Speaks Up: What Is the Best Mobile Suit Gundam Game of All Time?

For me, the best Gundam game is Gundam Breaker 3. Combine action combat that lets you do incredibly wacky combos with beam sabers, fists, axes and other classic armaments with customization options that would make an Armored Core game blush, both in the combinations of parts and the granular stat builds you can tailor your perfect custom Mobile Suit towards, and you have the recipe for one of the most fun Gundam experiences I’ve ever had. It also helps that the sheer amount of Mobile Suits at your disposal to customize and combine is almost overwhelming. — John

While the Gundam anime series are almost always a hit for me, the games don’t often have the same level of quality, in my opinion. It is so hard to nail down the right gameplay feel in these titles, which is why I usually prefer the more unique games. My personal favorite is the turn-based JRPG from PS2, MS Saga: A New Dawn. This heavily underrated entry in the series has solid turn-based combat, impressively deep mech customization, and a fun enough fairly standalone storyline. I really hope we get to see a traditional non-SD Gundam turn-based game like this again someday. — Cody

Gundam Breaker 4 is now available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC.
