Critic Reviews for MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM SEED BATTLE DESTINY REMASTERED
Overall, Gundam Seed Battle Destiny Remastered is not only a solid visual upgrade to the Vita original but also has some much-needed functional improvements, both in terms of the controls and the backend progression flow. The only real downside is if you’re not a fan of Gundam Seed, as otherwise, this is a very nicely made mecha action game. Now, if only Bandai Namco would remaster Gundam Battle Universe.
But for SEED fans, especially those who remember poring over the original’s menus with a translation guide in hand, this remaster is a nostalgic gift. For everyone else? It’s an old warhorse with a new coat of paint and a reminder that sometimes, the past is best visited with tempered expectations.
The fast and fluid gameplay, combined with a decent customization of the Mobile Suits and a large roster of mechs, constitutes the beating heart of a title capable of entertaining for hours. However, the sparse and fragmented narrative, aimed almost exclusively at long-time fans, and above all a frustrating and poorly calibrated lock-on system, significantly slow down the potential of the game.

It’s not anything truly special, but it is a treat for Gundam SEED fans. I just wish they’d properly adapted the franchise’s narrative instead of slapping a few plot twists on as an afterthought.
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny Remastered might not be the best licensed game out there, but it isn't the worst either.
While this is unlikely to be a game that anyone beyond existing Gundam fans enjoy, those who do get into it will find a compelling gameplay loop with dozens of hours of content; unfortunately, that loop and content is wrapped up in outdated visuals and terrible onboarding for newcomers.
Overall, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny Remastered is a pretty by-the-book update of a game that was clearly made for the limitations of the PS Vita. It's genuinely fun to play and smash your way through enemy robots as your favorite Gundam, but it's a very shallow game. You'll probably get bored of the combat loop well before you do everything the game has to offer. Fans of the franchise will have enough fun to make it worth the cash, but those looking for something with more meat on the bones will probably be better off looking elsewhere.
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM SEED BATTLE DESTINY REMASTERED is a title that Gundam fans will love, though it is a bit unbalanced, making it quite challenging.
