When I first heard of the game I was pretty excited... until I saw the producer in charge then I got kinda worried and as they released more information prior to the game's launch it got doubly so. That said, monetisation aside it was an enjoyable experience while it lasted and if executed better I wouldn't have trouble believing this game could've been way more than what it ended up being.

If you're interested in a living competitive Game however, I do recommend checking out Gundam Extreme V.s and the competitive plays at the GGGP.
Links to that are below along with the sources.

That said, it's unfortunate this game did as bad as it is, hopefully one day we might get a banger Gundam game that can actually surpass Extreme v.s
