Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn (真・ガンダム無双, Shin Gundam Musou) is the fourth installment of the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Next Dynasty Warrior Gundam Saga Series.
Yoshitaka Gotō directs and co-produces the Japanese title, aiming for a realistic visual style similar to the first title. Komino and Koinuma co-produce, with Gotō focusing on reducing flashy anime cell shading and Koinuma aiming to restore familiarity with each Mobile Suit.
First print bonus is a serial code for the Bearguy MS and a scenario called "Who's the Greatest Red?". For overseas audiences, these are pre-order bonuses.
Gameplay[]
The general graphic and audio layout of the game returns to a style reminiscent to the second title.
- The "Burst System" is a new feature in the game that alters the mannerisms of an MS in battle based on its construction and pilot's preferences. Players can mix and match Burst combinations, activated by pressing R2.
- A "Charge Shot" is a stronger attack which grants additional or rarer drops if it is used to defeat enemy units. Hold down to perform it. As long as is being used, it can be activated in the middle or at the end of standard charge attack combinations.
- MS now have four different SP Attacks: standard: ; second: (held); aerial: R1/R + ; and combination: simultaneously activate with another ace pilot. SP Attacks only drain one meter of the SP Gauge when they are activated in this title.
- When a pilot has activated their Burst and their SP Attack, their designated partner can provide secondary assistance. This is called a "Combination Burst".
- Once a pilot reaches level 30, they gain the ability to cancel their second SP Attack by holding down . Similar to the Samurai Warriors series, characters have momentary invulnerability and can dash anywhere they please until the SP Attack gauge drains.
- Similar to Dynasty Warriors 7, the player's control may instantly switch between ace pilots in battle during Official Mode.
- Pilots can choose partners who use warships. Alternatively, players can pick up the random battleship summon item. Once the thirty second countdown sequence ends, the ship will surround their character with support fire.
- The "Operator" option from the third title has been removed; a majority of these characters were made partners.
- The Forces Gauge in the third title has been removed, preventing instant resurrections and retries for downed units on maps. Players must restart from scratch or save.
- There are more alternate character portraits than previous titles. Select alternates will not allow the player to use certain MS. Quatro, for instance, cannot ride Sazabi and his Char's Counterattack version won't use his older MS.
- Space battles make a comeback.
- Mobile Armors (MA) can now be used as playable units.
- MS now offers individual weapon sets, allowing players to adjust length and girth at the mechanic, and materials for upgrading can be earned through missions.
- Mission objectives are listed at the bottom right hand corner for player convenience.
- A customizable sound option is available.
- The Weapons Deadlock Sequence has been simplified into a single, random correct button, allowing players to perform special counterattack sequences when facing enemy aces in duels.
- Downloadable content so far includes new MS and scenarios for Ultimate Mode.
Modes[]
Official Mode[]
Official Mode returns except for ZZ. The added arcs in this title are SEED, SEED DESTINY and Unicorn. Spliced footage of the original anime and different cinematics for returning continuities are now included. Voiced character conversations outside of battle with visual backgrounds and character portraits are present as opposed to static text narration. The music in this mode often replicates the same tunes used within the original series.
This mode will need to be cleared to unlock several ace pilots in Ultimate Mode.
Ultimate Mode[]
This mode offers crossover stories and homage missions, with stages based on themes and varying lengths. Players can choose their own characters, unlock new pilots, partners, and MS, and participate in multiplayer or online co-op through the SOS system.
