New SD Gundam is a strategy game released in 1995 for the Game Boy. The game centers around tactical battles featuring chibi-style Gundam units, where players command various mobile suits on grid-based maps. The main objective involves outmaneuvering enemy forces and completing mission-specific goals, such as defeating all opponents or capturing key points.
The gameplay pace is deliberate, encouraging thoughtful positioning and resource management rather than fast reflexes. A unique mechanic in New SD Gundam is the integration of unit upgrades and customization between battles, allowing players to tailor their team’s capabilities. This adds a layer of strategic depth uncommon in handheld titles of the era.
One distinctive aspect of the game is its use of the SD (Super Deformed) art style, which presents Gundam characters in a cute, exaggerated form. This visual approach contrasts with the more serious tone typical of Gundam series, offering a fresh take on the franchise within a tactical framework. The combination of accessible strategy and charming design defines the game’s appeal.
