Gundam Side Story 0079 - Rise from the Ashes review
Is Gundam Side Story 0079 - Rise from the Ashes still worth playing in 2026?
Hailed at release as one of the finest Gundam adaptations, Rise from the Ashes dives into the One Year War with an immersive mobile suit piloting sim, complete with a readable cockpit and a panoramic view that uses the VMU. The polished campaign and fidelity to the universe make it a standout for fans. The handling takes some adjustment and the 3D has aged, but the military atmosphere and the feeling of piloting a real machine stay gripping. A benchmark worth rediscovering for mecha fans.
