在玩法操作上，採用傳統回合制戰略模擬RPG 架構，戰場為網格狀地圖，需編組自己的小隊，派遣SD鋼彈機體出擊。每台機體皆有獨立的移動範圍、攻擊距離、武器種類與技能屬性。透過戰略部署，移動機體至適當位置，再選擇合適武器進行攻擊。攻擊時會以動態戰鬥動畫 呈現雙方機體互相對決的畫面，包括經典招式與武裝射擊的演出，雖然是Q版造型，但細節與原作再現度極高。

不過也有評論認為，遊戲雖然適合鋼彈粉絲，但對於非系列熟悉玩家而言，過多的宇宙世紀作品、龐大的機體與駕駛員資料量容易造成入門門檻偏高，且部分戰場設計與敵方增援設定容易導致戰鬥節奏偏慢，需要較長時間遊玩。操作與UI方面也稍微偏向舊式戰略模擬的傳統風格，並未特別針對Switch機能開發新穎玩法，但這對鋼彈忠實玩家來說反而是一種保留原汁原味的魅力。

總結來說，這是以宇宙世紀鋼彈為主軸、回合制戰略模擬玩法、機體收集與育成系統為特色的粉絲向Switch鋼彈大作。不僅完整重現歷代經典劇情，還提供超過600台機體自由蒐集與開發，搭配直覺化的回合制戰略系統與可愛精緻的SD戰鬥演出，成為鋼彈迷不可錯過的收藏級戰略作品。

SD Gundam G Generation Genesis was originally released in 2016 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. The Nintendo Switch version followed in 2018, featuring the full base game and all downloadable content (DLC), along with optimizations for handheld play. This title is part of Bandai Namco’s long-running G Generation series, which is known for condensing various Gundam stories into super-deformed (SD) chibi-style mobile suits and presenting them in a strategy simulation format. The game heavily emphasizes fan service, unit collection, and the appeal of custom-built squads.

In terms of story, the game doesn’t offer an original plotline but instead fully incorporates the narratives of key titles within the Universal Century timeline of the Gundam franchise. These include the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, 0083: Stardust Memory, Zeta Gundam, Char’s Counterattack, F91, Victory Gundam, Unicorn Gundam, and even Gundam THE ORIGIN, among over 17 canonical entries. Each story is broken into individual missions that players can choose freely, and every chapter re-creates memorable scenes from the original anime through in-game cutscenes and dialogue. The use of cute SD-style mobile suits paired with faithful recreations of classic moments adds a strong sense of nostalgia and collectible value for longtime fans.

The gameplay follows a traditional turn-based strategy RPG structure. Battles are played out on grid-based maps where players deploy and maneuver squads of SD Gundam units. Each unit has its own movement range, attack distance, weapon types, and special abilities. Players strategically position their units on the battlefield and choose weapons to attack enemies. During combat, animated battle sequences are triggered to depict the clashes between mobile suits—complete with iconic weaponry and attack moves. Despite the chibi design, the attention to detail and authenticity to the original series is remarkably high.

The Nintendo Switch version fully supports both Joy-Con and Pro Controller inputs. The UI has been adjusted for handheld mode, making it easy to issue commands and navigate menus even on the go. Players use intuitive button controls to select units, move along the grid, initiate attacks or use skills, and manage support actions, reinforcements, and commander abilities. After each battle, experience points and in-game currency are awarded based on performance. These can be used to upgrade mobile suits, level up pilots, develop new units, or perform mobile suit fusions—gradually strengthening the player’s army to take on tougher missions.

One of the game’s standout features is the inclusion of over 650 SD mobile suits spanning the Universal Century era. These range from mass-production types and main protagonist suits to elite enemy units and special-weapon variants. Players can freely collect, develop, and customize units to build their own personalized Gundam force. A wide cast of pilots also appears in full, including iconic characters such as Amuro Ray, Char Aznable, Kamille Bidan, and Banagher Links. Each pilot has unique skills and compatibility with specific units.

In terms of reception, the game received positive feedback from Gundam fans. The complete inclusion of Universal Century storylines, portable play, and bundled DLC made it a standout collectible title on the Switch. Many players praised the vast unit roster, nostalgic story presentation, strategic depth in squad customization, and the charm of the SD aesthetic combined with polished combat animations.

However, some criticisms were raised. The game’s appeal is strongly tilted toward Gundam fans, and the sheer number of series, units, and pilots can make the learning curve steep for newcomers. Some battles were noted for slow pacing, particularly due to reinforcements and stage layouts that prolonged missions. The UI and overall presentation also leaned toward a more traditional strategy game design and didn’t innovate much specifically for the Switch platform. Yet for veteran fans, this consistency was viewed as a faithful continuation of the series’ classic style.

In conclusion, SD Gundam G Generation Genesis is a turn-based strategy title centered on the Universal Century Gundam timeline, offering robust unit collection and development systems. With faithful recreations of iconic storylines, over 600 collectible units, and charming SD battle animations, it stands as a must-have strategic experience for dedicated Gundam enthusiasts on the Nintendo Switch.
