Description

"SD Gundam G Century S" is a tactical role-playing game released exclusively in Japan for the Sega Saturn console in 1998. Developed by Sunrise Interactive and Bandai, this game is part of the extensive "Gundam" franchise, particularly under the "Super Deformed" or SD banner, which features characters and mechs from the series redesigned in a shorter, more whimsical chibi style. The game allows players to engage in elaborate strategic battles using a variety of units from different Gundam series, spanning multiple generations of the anime. Players can expect to manage resources, construct units, and engage in turn-based combat on grid-based maps, a hallmark of the tactical RPG genre. Strategic deployment and movement of units are key to success, catering to both fans of strategic gaming and the Gundam universe.

"SD Gundam G Century S" features an extensive lineup of recognizable mobile suits and characters, which can be customized and upgraded as players progress through various missions and storylines. The game includes several modes, with the primary focus on its campaign, where players can follow a plot that involves multiple factions and characters from different Gundam series interacting in new and unique scenarios. This title stands out in the Gundam gaming landscape not only because of its super deformed art style but also due to its comprehensive inclusion of nearly every Gundam up to its release, making it a rich retrospective of the franchise's history up to that point. Its release on the Sega Saturn helped to cement the console's reputation in Japan as a platform for niche and genre-specific titles, although it didn't see a release in Western markets, leaving it as a sought-after import for collectors and enthusiasts of the series.
