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.
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.
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find a compelling gameplay loop with dozens of hours of content; unfortunately, that loop and content is wrapped up in outdated visuals and terrible onboarding for newcomers.
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny Remastered arrives on international shores for the first time with a fresh coat of paint, so lovingly polished for modern eyes. Its roots are unmistakably Vita-era, with all the clunky lock-ons and sterile arenas that implies, but when you’re soaring through the stars, beam saber in hand, it’s easy to forgive the rough edges. The game trusts its audience to know the lore, feel the weight of its Mobile Suits, and embrace its mission-based grind like slipping into an old pilot suit.
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny Remastered revives the 2012 Vita-exclusive with upgraded visuals, broader platform availability, and a satisfying loop of suit customization and solo missions. While it won’t convert newcomers unfamiliar with the SEED universe, longtime fans will appreciate its deep Mobile Suit roster and tactical combat system.
