Oooo I really want to like this. Team shooters are nice and fun, I never get too into the competitive so the finer details of the genre might not be nailed here, but the combat and gunplay is very fun. The plethora of Mobile Suits to pick from is nice, I'm impressed by how different a lot of them feel; even similar ones like MG and Gundam have a different gameplan. If you're looking for something to scratch that team shooter itch and maybe you like gundam (or just big robots and want to get into it), i'd recommend.
BIGGEST thing tho is that the microtransactions SUCK rn. I don't mind a battlepass, I don't mind maybe unlocking some suits, but 5 suits (that are like, pretty clearly both strong in game and fan favourite ones) that are 13 each, skins that are more than the suits, and a battlepass that gives you nothing and takes forever to level up is pretty discouraging for someone who was looking forward to playing this game for a while. This and the ranked system are the biggest detriments right now-- there's just no way to move upwards. Games give you about 20-30 points per win, but leagues span around a thousand points to get into a new level. With no compounding momentum, that just seems like youre kinda doomed to stay pretty close to initial placing. If both of these get tweaked to be more user friendly and encouraging to get the player in there, this could be a real long play for me. As it stands now, i see myself probably dropping off in three months and just popping back whenever new suits get added.
