Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny: Rengou Vs. Z.A.F.T. II - Gameplay

Gameplay

The game is played on a third person perspective, and is officially touted by the authors as a "2vs2" team-battle action game. A player selects a unit from a wide array of usable machines to use in battle, and a pilot from a given roster composed of characters from the series, with the option to create a 'nameless' pilot. Choosing a pilot determines the faction the player will join; otherwise, it is purely cosmetic.

A team is given 1000 points in their 'battle gauge', which is basically the team's lifebar. The goal in a traditional game revolves around depleting the opposing team's battle gauge to 0; this is done by destroying enemy units.

Each unit has its own abilities, pros and cons, ranging from weapons, firepower, speed, to cost. The selection of units affects gameplay; units with higher costs tend to have better performance and/or firepower, but destruction in battle will severely hurt the team's battle gauge, while units with lower costs and lower performance will allow the team to survive longer even after repeated losses.
