Stunning game the entire way through. Spending the first 40% of the game or so as the party members rather than the hero sets up the journey very well in a way you almost never see in jrpgs. The party members are specialized versions of 3’s class system, another thing I really enjoyed. And then you add in the party chat characterizing our team for the first time (I played using the party chat mod). Instant recipe for success. This game does a lot right and nothing wrong in my eyes. May this gem be remembered forever

Also Maya best character

Like the open world when it isn't island 2, don't like combat or most of the mini bosses. The character stories were ok, story was ok, not a fan of the cutscenes or Roger's acting in this one. Levels were a mixed bag but there more I disliked than I liked. Lastly, most of the bosses sucked and the final boss was awful (yes I did true end).

What I came out of this game liking was the music and Sage. Score would be lower if not for some of the things I did like from the gameplay. It's a step up from Forces but if this is where this series is headed let it stay dead.

Overall my least favorite of the 3 games but still a very good time

Pros:
- Viola's a fun addition as a person and as a playable character
- upgradeable weapon trees don't add much new but both hone in on unique moves for weapons and teach you that they exist at all, something the first two games could've benefitted from
- the entire ending
- difficulty being higher than 2
- the weapons are by far my favorite in the series. Very versatile and unique purposes to complement numerous playstyles and speeds
- a story that while mediocre, breaks away from beating the same story concepts as 1 and 2

Cons:
- environments are massive but somewhat boring and bleak in color
- style and personality felt very lacking, and where it is implemented it feels like a lukewarm attempt
- still not a fan of some of the minigame segments
- again on story, the other realities don't add much besides flashy events
- the villain's reasoning and goals are entirely unexplained past "he can and he wants to so he will"
- not much exposition of characters both old and new, making what quirky dialogue you do get feel somewhat soulless

Tl;dr: the most flawed title imo but all around I had a great time and would recommend it

Very charming with a easy to grasp and fun to master gameplay loop. Different elements complement different playstyles and lots of offensive and defensive varieties allow you to build for the element you want while guarding the element you struggle with. Story's very short but Noah's a character archetype I enjoy and didn't expect to see here. I love games that are designed around being rewarded for playing with the different systems and gameplay gimmicks, and this game does that pretty well. If you're looking for a cheap fun roguelite, this is it.

this is my favorite of the 4 gundam musou titles. while i miss the larger maps from 1 and 2, i enjoy playing on a battlefield with different bases that offer different functions and respawning allies so you're not left completely alone to decimate a whole army. the cast expansion is fantastic, my favorite additions being more wing pilots, stardust memory, and the unicorn characters as unicorn is my favorite gundam series. this game has a notable ost which isn't something i can say for the other 3 titles. the partner system is neat and i EXTREMELY appreciate the reworking of the friendship system so half the cast doesn't hate me just for having spawned in as an enemy
