I want Gundam Evolution to be better than it is, it has the potential to be great, but it has many issues that cannot be ignored. I played the beta and full release for a combined 77 hours and completed both battle passes. I don't really do reviews like this but I feel the need to being it is Gundam.

Firstly are my issues with server side and how the game is handled. At release the game servers couldn't handle the player numbers, the games would crash or disconnect people regularly. This ruined games for the people that stayed and would then give leave penalties for the people who got kicked to no fault of their own. Now that issue is slightly less common but the issue is that people leave of their own will and game will be canceled due to a leaver leaving early. A minor issue I have is with some skins being locked behind a currency that you can only obtain from getting duplicates. Doing the math for the Char Zaku 2 skin you would need to get 800 common item duplicates which would be a minimum of 534 loot crates. Keep in mind you cannot buy this currency, you cannot even buy this skin for real money, you must buy coins to buy loot crates to get over 800 duplicates. I find this egregious.

Servers and rules can be changed to fix these issues but they don't fix the balance of characters, and character balance directly affects gameplay. I'll keep this brief but melee characters in general are a bit unfair, some more than others, but still overall melee/brawlers run the games if the players playing them have a brain.When a Ranged Zaku has to land every bullet without fail plus grenade to get a kill but a Barbatos can waltz in ability spam and instakill with dashes to spare I have a problem. I also have an issue with the fact that you can only unlock 2 of the 5 dlc characters without paying $41, in fact you can only get those 2 out of 5 if you pay $10 for the battle pass and earn them, without money you can only earn 1 of 5 dlc characters. Greed in videogames is played out and annoying.

Without going too far into detail these are my main problems with the game. I still think the game is worth giving a shot being that it is free. Especially if even some of these things get fixed, playing this game for free is beyond worth it. It's just that this game has glaring issues that need changing. Even though I would recommend this game for people to try, I only do so because it is free. If it had a price I wouldn't, so to reflect that and to show my discontent I have chosen to give it a thumbs down.

If anybody has read all of this, thanks. I don't do reviews so I'm just typing on the fly after hours of playing and gathering thoughts.
Sieg Zeon!
