Bandai Namco’s new Gundam game called Gundam Battle: Gunpla Warfare wasn’t scheduled to be out for mobile devices until next month, but it looks like the game has dropped early. Listings for the game in the Android and iOS stores now present browsers with the option to download the game which can be done right away since this is a free-to-play game. Checking the downloaded version shows that everything appears to working with no restrictions, so Gundam fans appear to have just gotten a treat ahead of schedule.
You can find the game through the App Store or through Google Play depending on what device you’re playing with. Both games are free, though there are some in-app purchases in the form of Haro Chips which can then be used to acquire things like AI Pilots, Parts for players’ mechs, and stamina recovery. The game is developed by both Bandai Namco and Capcom, and though it’s quite early on in the game’s life on the two stores since it just released, the reviews seem to be positive so far.
