One of the most fun live service FPS games I played, till Bandai Namco ruined it all because it didn't generate them enough money cause they didn't want to fix basic issues.

If you wish to play this game, I heavily recommend checking out the Side 7 Discord, they are hosting servers for this game with a bunch of stuff they added, it's genuinely awesome, please check it out.

The best pvp hero shooter that ever existed and now is no longer playable. Retains the 6v6 format while keeping competitive viability and very much fun. No traditional role system allows for creativity in team comps and player expression while also keeping the game balanced. There was never a time in the games lifespan in which one mobile suit was required on every team. This was due to every mobile suit having regenerating health when out of combat and also well placed health pickups in the map.

I personally reached Master rank and wished I had spent more time to reach Newtype rank. Sadly the game was hugely overlooked due to Bandai Namco mismanaging with the competitive scene instead opting to pay influencers to play the game for less than 2 weeks before dropping it as well as microtransactions and lootboxes for cosmetics. The playerbase on North America dwindled to the point that most players had to switch to JP servers to find matches. After a 1 year war, the game was shut down most likely due to not being profitable and not retaining a playerbase. It will always be a hidden gem and what I consider the peak of pvp hero shooters.

I actually really found this game fun, but I will never forgive Bamco Namdai for biting into the crazy hamburger and try to rush out a competitive scene without putting much effort, weak servers at launch, and other disappointing things (I could go on a rant about how I would have handled the skins but I'm aware that micro transactions are a bit of a hard topic to tackle due to how reasonably poorly they're perceived). It's a shame too, since I really liked the gameplay. I think if I could play it again, I would, but unfortunately Bamco pulled the plug.
