Bandai has re-issued a couple of Gundam Giren games on the PSP but Axis no Kyoui represents the first new release that's exclusive to the Playstation Portable. The game features tactical-strategy action where mech forces face opposing forces across the ether. A cast of over 250 heroes and nearly 500 mechs from Gundam Z, Char's Counterattack, Gundam ZZ, and the original Gundam appear in the game. Players may choose to battle on the side of the Anti Earth United Government (AEUG), Axis, the Federation, Titans, or the Zeon with unique storylines and campaigns for each contingent. There's an additional eight forces that are blocked by static on the Mode Select screen for a total of 13 different starting points once everything's unlockedNew systems introduced in Axis no Kyoui include Moral Alignment which keeps track of good and evil battlefield choices, Mech Modifications for custom crafting of robots, and Day and Night phases for afternoon battles as well as twilight firefights. Upon starting a game, an introduction which features still images accompanied by male voice-over provides the backdrop for the beginning of each force's unique campaign.
In addition to the main game, the software includes a DATABASE which contains illustrations and images for 494 Mechanics (robots) and 262 Characters. Everything's locked and non-viewable at the outset however. Early preorders will ship with a bonus Giren no Yabou DVD.
