![]() ![]() Even better, those still on the fence about buying this game can purchase any of the volumes at $19.99 (volumes 1 and 2 have been released, with 3 on the way), or pre-pay for all three for $49.99, while the deluxe edition which comes with a few in-game extras and PSN avatars can be had for $59.99. This isn’t an intense, 40+ hour investment of time, which many people will appreciate when there are so many other games to play these days. Fans are able to take in some more history of the Gundam series, fight in a few scenarios, then digest another chapter if they so choose. Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation: Code Fairy PS5 Review – Bite-Sized Chunksĭoes the episodic nature of this release make sense? I’d say yes, if only because combat feels so limited. There’s a certain mindset that must be considered when piloting these things, something that is not for everyone. Perhaps it would feel less like a Gundam game if things were quicker-paced. But Gundam suits are essentially massive, walking tanks. Even repairing mid-battle involves getting out of the Gundam suit and capturing a control point, then getting back in the suit and standing around as repairs occur. Most weapons also take a while to reload, so each miss is felt particularly hard, especially when health is running low. Aiming is not smooth at all, despite many manually-aimed weapons requiring precision when firing. Overall, things feel clunky when fighting. It’s a basic rock-paper-scissors triangle of type mixing, and memorizing what each type works against should be simple for most players. There are also three types of Gundam suits, each of which are effective against one other type and weak against the other. Each have their own set of advantages and drawbacks, and while one weapon reloads another and be cycled to, which is something key to remember when multiple hostiles are firing upon you.

This is where some strategy can be deployed, since each character in the player’s party possess a special power which can be used anytime their meter is charged. Even on the normal difficulty level, players will likely hit a wall where enemies are too strong and must be dealt with one at a time. ![]() The only thing they do quickly is get destroyed. That means movement has to be done deliberately, because although some suits are more nimble than others, they are all slow to turn, slow to react, slow to reload, and just slow in general. These are basically walking tanks, and control as such. While I admit to knowing next-to-nothing about the story, Operation Code Fairy does a good job at standing on its own, with a mostly self-contained tale of Zeon’s first all-female Gundam squad trying to prove themselves to the upper brass of their military.Ĭombat in Operation Code Fairy is a third-person affair, where the player controls a single Gundam suit. There’s plenty of backstory for this series, seeing as the Gundam series launched in 1979 and has seen numerous expansions of its lore. ![]() It follows new recruit Alma and her all-female squad of Gundam fighters in the Principality of Zeon, during the One Year War. The story of Operation Code Fairy is presented in episodic chunks, including anime-style animation. Still, it is nice to see even a niche game like this using the DualSense in some capacity. The DualSense controller is used to differentiate between different weapon types, while the speaker is also used for in-game communications. The only areas in which players are likely to notice much difference between console generations is in the loading times – as usual, the PS5’s speedy SSD allows for levels to load in just a few seconds. Graphically, environments are lackluster, and although the Gundam suits are the stars of the game, even they don’t seem particularly detailed. ![]() Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation: Code Fairy may be a PS5 release, but it doesn’t really look the part.
