Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn

No summary available

With the indie gaming boom and so many big publishers trying their hands at projects that are somewhat different from the norm, it can be surprisingly refreshing to play something as single-minded as Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn. There are no immediate details to ponder – you just climb into a mobile suit, take to the battlefield, and blast your way through thousands of opponents for around 40 hours.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn is a fast and fun brawler with enough loot-crafting and variety between modes to keep things from getting too stale too quick. Played in short bursts, it’s an amusing arcade-style distraction incorporating a long-term reward system that keeps me coming back.

To brand Dynasty Warrior’s brand of combat as poor would be incorrect though. True, the series’ trademark approach to gameplay is repetitive yet, as fans will know, there is plenty of depth and nuance to be found. For instance players can find new parts for their Mobile Suits during play, adding them to their current loadout to enhance stats such as speed or attack power. Side objectives are also given in ample supply, rewarding diligent pilots with new characters to use in-game.
