SD Gundam Capsule Fighter Online

Post by Kaori »





A free to play 3rd person shooter with SD mobile suits From all Gundam series'(even expanded stories like astray and 00p), the game allows players to take command of units involving all gundam eras with missions based off of events from Universal Century until the latest Advance Generation (depending on the server). The most up to date one is certainly the original Korean server, while the others usually lags several versions behind.

There are two types of game in SDGO, PVP mode and Mission mode. PVP mode is a traditional player versus player game in general with up to 12 players. This mode provides money and experience, with more value for the winning team or players. PVP mode has five different modes - Normal, where two teams of up to six players fight it out; Death, where players are given a set stock and fight until the last team is left standing; Boss, a variation of Normal in which certain members of the teams grow to larger, boss sizes and net more winnings than normal; Single, where up to four players go at it; Gundam Fight, a one-on-one fight between players; and Tag, a three man team that involves battleships.

The other mode is Mission mode, where the players must work together (up to 4 players) to complete the mission provided by the game. The rewards are randomized, and may sometimes include additional items. These items range from extra coins to stickers and paints to even unit plans and actual units. There are two types of Missions - normal missions, which require players to complete certain requirements such as destroying certain units, and Scenarios, which recreate popular events from the various Gundam series.

There are four ways to obtain the Mobile Suits in the game; purchase or rent them with real money, buy the capsules with in game money from vending machine in the game, complete certain quests and missions, and through Mix Plan. Mix Plan is the most complex method to obtain a unit. It requires the appropriate Mix Plan item, a fully upgraded primary Mobile Suit, and several specific suits that get discarded during mixing. Although it is relatively more difficult, but this method will result in a unit with a higher specification than the two previously mentioned methods of the same rank.

Each Mobile Suits are categorized into rock, paper, and scissor types. In other words, each units have strengths and weaknesses depending on their type. Rock types are strong against scissor types but weak against paper types, scissor types are strong against paper types but weak against rock types, while paper types are strong against rock types but weak against scissor types. Rock type Mobile Suit specialize in close combat, Paper type mobile suits specialize in Long range while Scissor type unit is balanced in both. As well, each ranking gives a number of type symbols: 2 for Cs, 3 for Bs, 4 for As and 5 for Ss. This determines just how powerful one type is against another. Because of this, it's possible for, for instance, the 2 Rock-type symbol Zaku II to damage the 5 Scissor-type symbol Freedom Gundam, but not by much.

The game system itself is a rather simple one. Each Mobile Suits have a static weapon set (there is no way to customize their weapon set) while some transformable units have the option to change to an alternate mode with a different set of weapons. As well, each unit has three skills it can use: a high-damaging special attack and two stat-boosting abilities. The game also features unit customization, where the players are able to boost the units stats or apply new paint and decals to them. As well, because Mobile Suits have a static weapon set, many suits actually come with different variations of them. For instance, the RX-78-2 Gundam comes with three forms - one with beam saber and beam rifle, one with double bazooka and one with Gundam Hammer.
