It can also get surprisingly hard, since your Zeon-model mobile suits are often at a disadvantage fighting beam-equipped Federation forces or even taking on a fully armed Gundam unit. It’s a slower, more methodical combat flow, compared to the high-speed chaos of the Gundam VS games, or the arcadey action of the Gundam Breaker titles. Each mobile suit has a variety of weapons available, and things like thruster cooldowns, reloading, and various aiming stances give Code Fairy (and by extension GBO 2) a simulation-style edge. Nevertheless, the moment-to-moment combat is strong. However, once the mission kicked off, the enemy forces acted like AI bots in a simulation match, and didn’t really behave in a way that fit the “script” of the mission. If you ever wanted to know how Zeon forces were able to fight for a bit longer after the critical loss of Odessa’s mining operations, Code Fairy teaches us that this squad played a part in making that happen.įor example, in one mission, I was to lure enemy forces into a set of pre-planted traps. Though every mission is one that applies to the specific, relatively small theater of Noisy Fairy’s operational area, big happenings like Operation Odessa and the death of Garma Zabi help tie the game to the larger Universal Century timeline. Major events from the One Year War form the background and backbone of Code Fairy‘s story. Together they train, grow, and become a fearsome asset to Zeon forces over the course of the One Year War. Alongside fellow squaddies Mia Brinkman and Helena Hegel, Alma takes her marching orders from Noisy Fairy’s commander, former ace pilot Killy Garrett. The story follows the exploits of Alma Stirner, a Zeon pilot newly assigned to the North American front and “Noisy Fairy”, the Zeon military’s first all-female mobile suit squad. Not only is Code Fairy entirely about characters from the Principality of Zeon, it has a number of minor callbacks to units and events from Zeonic Front itself. All there is is the fifteen missions of the main story campaign (five per part), and the simulator scenarios if you want to practice or grind out some extra rewards.īy my lights, if there’s any one Gundam game that Code Fairy most resembles, it’s Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front. There’s no need to worry about events, daily logins, or any of the free-to-play fluff that powers today’s live-service titles. Indeed, Code Fairy is single-player only, though linking save data from GBO 2 will unlock various goodies in both games (such as Code Fairy Mobile Suits in GBO 2). In a sense, it’s like the “ campaign mode” Battle Operation never had, although in this case it’s sold separately. Studio to expand the use of its Battle Operation engine beyond its original focus on online multiplayer. It’s best to think of Code Fairy as a way for B.B. At least in my case, that lack of desire shows that Code Fairy is a Gundam game that stands alone. The game is based on the engine and mechanics of the free-to-play, multiplayer-focused Battle Operation 2. But it’s frankly a good sign that Code Fairy didn’t serve as my gateway to getting back into GBO2. When I was done marathoning all three installments of Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation: Code Fairy, I felt no particular need to play Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation 2.
