Gundam Musou 3 (ガンダム無双3, Gandamu Musō Surī) is a tactical action video game based on the Gundam anime series, and the sequel to 2008's Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2. It is developed by Koei/Omega Force and is published by Namco Bandai. The game was currently revealed in the September issue of Famitsu and was released on December 16, 2010 in Japan.[2]

Differences from prior games

From previous Dynasty Warriors titles

Gundam Musou 3 follows in the style of previous Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors games as an action-oriented hack and slash with some tactical elements. However, both Dynasty Warriors: Gundam games have unique gameplay mechanics and twists that set them apart from the core Dynasty Warriors series. The greatest of these is the core content: rather than using characters and story from the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the games draw their material from across the various Mobile Suit Gundam anime series. Another change is the player's choice of pilots and mecha independent of each other, allowing the ability to use any combination of man and machine.

There are also changes in gameplay: players are given more ranged combat options than in other Dynasty Warriors games, although melee combat is still the focus of the game. Units in Dynasty Warriors: Gundam are much more mobile, using their thrusters to dash, jump in mid-air, and (for some) even fly.

From previous Dynasty Warriors: Gundam titles

Screenshots and promotional renders for the game show a new, cel-shaded graphical style that brings the series visually closer to its animated roots, along with a new streamlined HUD that minimizes screen clutter. A brief article from Siliconera also revealed that the enemy AI (a commonly criticized weak point in the Dynasty Warriors franchise) has been revamped, with enemy units now gaining the ability to reinforce and support each other in combat. It has also been revealed that Original mode has been put back in the game along with several teams already revealed (Amuro, Setsuna, Kou, and Kira).[3] Mission Mode has also been removed along with official Mode and replaced with:


  • History Missions - reenacts events of the original Gundam series for the cast. Unlike previous titles, these type of missions are available for the Universal Century based story arcs -excluding Char's Counterattack- and alternate universes (Wing, X, G, Turn A, Seed Destiny and 00).
  • Collection Missions - lets players seek designs for a category of MS, such as Zeon types, red colored MS, etc.
  • Memorial Missions - when the player has shot down 10,000 or so MS, these type of missions appear. They allow the player to obtain rare Plans for their MS or rare Pilot Skills.
  • Challenge Missions - difficult tasks for the player to put their skills to the test.
  • Friendship Missions - opens the door for meeting other pilots by categorizing various characters into select missions. The players can choose to only fight alongside women, Mobile Fighters, or other such types of groups.
  • Relation Missions - missions that boost the player's relationship rating with other pilots.
  • Special Missions - if the player is low on Gold, they might want to partake in these missions to get more.

Relationships are built in tiers (level 1-5) and building friendships with other characters has the ability to affect the player's character. When a character reaches a specific level of friendship (Friendships do not decrease unlike last game they can only increase), it can unlock new Partners, power up the character's MS, or allow more Operators for the player's character to select. The specific characters who affect these changes are shown as icons on the Relationship Level chart for the player's character. Additionally, creating various friendships is needed to unlock new missions.

There are over 300 different missions in this mode.

===New Features===^^

  • Emergency Dash - When players fight through enemies, often they will encounter a situation where they either block or get hit by an attack. This title seeks to add diversity by implementing an "Emergency Dash" system. If the player times their dash moments before they are hit, their character will perform a special evasive maneuver to get them out of danger. Emergency dashes drain a portion of a MS's Boost gauge, however, so players need to use these escapes with caution.
  • Chance Gauge - Mobile Armors now have a tougher defense and come with a new feature for defeating them called the "Chance Gauge". The idea is to pummel the mecha repeatedly in order to fill up the meter located beside the mecha's name. When the gauge is filled, the player will then have a chance to cripple the giant and hit designated spots for critical damage. Mobile Armors will still lose armor as the player hits it but getting the Chance Gauge filled is ideal for quickly taking them down and locating its weak spots.
  • Partner Strike - A new attack feature for this title is the "Partner Strike". Like the "Team Assist" from Warriors Orochi 2, players can order a secondary pilot to accompany them into battle. To^^ order a partner to attack, the player needs to sacrifice a portion of their SP gauge (or Musou gauge). Partners can be chosen by players before they enter the battlefield.
  • Chain Explosion - When the player finishes off an enemy character with a SP or charge attack, the defeated MS may explode and damage nearby enemy units. The effect can be identified by a unique pink explosion.
  • Missile Base - marked by a missile icon. Launches a destructive missile to blow up another field, marked on the game's mini map. If it's an enemy base, conquering the field can disrupt the order.
  • Catapult - Fields that are conquered may randomly generate a catapult for the players to use. These mechanisms allow a player to hop to a faraway section of the map within seconds of aerial travel.
  • Vanguard Base - a stylized "C" icon. If the field is subdued with this active, their Partner Gauge and SP Gauge will gradually increase.
  • Home Base - emblems for the organizations; a star is for the player's forces while the winged icon represents the station for enemy troops. When the pivotal position is taken down, the morale ^^for the affected side will drop instantly to zero.
  • Fortress - makes forces harder-.- to decrease when present on field.
  • Mobile Suits Factory - claiming a field with this facility can restore a small portion of army forces gauge.
  • Repair Hanger - restores the armor gauge for all ally pilots.

Online

This mode has four player online co-op for fifteen unique missions. These missions are designed to be impossible to complete alone and encourage teamwork with other players. During this mode, players can take the place of Partner Strikes for one another and initiate them to their desires called Partner Support. There can also be no doubles of the same character within player teams (i.e: there won't be two Hamans on the field at once). Gold and experience earned in Online Mode is higher than playing a solo game.

During this mode, players can also find restorative items by collect Lamps. A rank 1 Lamp restores a fixed amount of armor for the team; rank 2 restores the armor to optimum settings. A rank 3 Lamp has the same effects as the second rank except it also completely replenishes lost troops for allies. Knowing when to use a Lamp is highly dependent on the team member who finds them. Players can communicate with one another using a voice communicator or with text.

Players can either join sessions already taking place or create their own for others to join. If there are no available spots, players can also place in tickets for a particular mission and character they wish to play.

Allegedly, more scenarios are planned for this mode.

All series and units from Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 have been confirmed to return for the series' third entry. Gundam Musou 3 also marks the debut of units from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, After War Gundam X, and Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

The following suits have been removed: MP Bawoo(Neo Zeon, Glemy Toto rebelion colors), Jagd Doga(Gyunei Guss), Jagd Doga(Quess Paraya), Gelgoog(Johnny Ridden), Re-GZ
