announcement
Bandai Namco Entertainment said on October 11:SD Gundam Battle Alliance]Announced that the Ver.1.30 update data will be delivered on October 12th. In addition to the appearance of additional expansion parts and additional missions, various changes to the balance of the game will be implemented. It’s a somewhat unusual update that incorporates many tweaks like the ones reported by users.
“SD Gundam Battle Alliance” is an action RPG with the theme of the “Mobile Suit Gundam” series. Supported platforms are PC (Steam) and PS4 / PS5 / Xbox One / Xbox Series X | S / Nintendo Switch. A wide variety of mobile suits and characters from the series appeared, co-stars beyond the worldview of each work. The mobile suit in gameplay appears as the “SD Gundam” short body.
Players develop and obtain new mobile suits as they go through famous scenes from various Gundam works. There are also elements of growth and improvement of mobile suits, such as improving the status by consuming capital (currency) and equipment with extended parts with special effects. In the game, you can fight with two wingmen, and it also supports cooperative play with up to three people.
Although this work showed a sharp increase in the number of players after its release, the Steam store reviews, even at the time of this writing, the status of “pros and cons” (Related article). Users have complained about boss battles and currency imbalances.
An additional part of the “Oversized Expansion Magazine” expansion has appeared in this update. The same parts are prepared for every Infighter, Allrounder and Shooter and apply 100% main fire utilization, -100% main fire reload and + 20% increase in consumption for all movements. EX missions also appeared as free additional missions. There appear to be 4 missions from the EX mission 07/08/09/10. Mission EX 07 will be unlocked after completing all missions in Hard mode except confusing missions.
Additionally, there are two main adjustments related to game balance. For the first point, bosses like Mobile Armor (MA) seem to be easier to defeat. First of all, the MA has been adapted to make general elimination easier. Additionally, the beam barrier specifications have been adjusted and the time it takes to reactivate after breaking the barrier has been increased from 30 seconds to 60 seconds. Also, when damage occurs to the MA beam barrier, it will be adjusted so that the durability value does not gradually recover even after a certain period of time.
Additionally, enemy Mobile Armor (MA) that appears in some missions has suffered a reduction in its HP. Additionally, the driving performance of the “grappling technique” for enemy axes has been reduced, making it easier to avoid by jumping and stepping left and right.
The second point concerns the amount of capital (game currency) acquired. Adjusted the amount of capital dropped by enemy units to 3x / 3x / 1.5x for each difficulty level EASY / NORMAL / HARD. In addition to increasing the amount of capital emerging from the containers, the selling price of projects, expansion parts and limit break materials will also be adjusted upwards. After the update, relatively easy money measures will be possible.
Also, for playable aircraft, the ease of hitting special attacks (SPA) has been improved. There are also buffs for the Allrounder and Infighter roles. The all-rounder increases the recovery rate of the SPA reflow indicator during the roll action. Along with the easier-to-hit SPA, it seems to be easier to use the SPA with greater power than other roles. In addition, the all-rounder greatly increases the “offset effect” of each action. It is said to be easier to take down BUT by continually aiming for the same part.
The Infighter is also strengthened and the effect of boost consumption during shooting action is increased by 0.7x and the final damage taken is increased by 0.8x. It seems that it is easier to take advantage of the Infighter’s characteristic of sticking to the enemy and continuing to deal damage. Additionally, the handyman and fighter rolls have been changed so that shooting actions can also be used during shooting action effects. Consequently, as long as the skill bar is full, you can use the skills that occur when the shooting action is triggered at any time.
In addition, the blocking behavior when destroying an enemy unit has also been changed. A function has been added to automatically change the lock-on on another target without waiting for the enemy aircraft to explode or breakout, or to release the lock-on when there is no target. This feature can be turned on and off in the options screen, so players who are used to conventional operations will be relieved. For more details on the update, click herepatch notesPlease confirm.

As previously mentioned, right after its release, this work received mixed reviews in Steam user reviews.
