SD Gundam World: Gachapon Senshi – Scramble Wars is a pioneering turn-based strategy game with action combat, developed by Shinsei and published by Bandai in 1987. Originally released for the Famicom Disk System (and playable here as an NES title), the game lets you command an army of Super Deformed (SD) Gundam mobile suits across grid-based maps to capture cities and defeat the enemy faction.
How to Play
Gameplay alternates between a tactical map phase and real-time action battles. On the map, you move your units, capture neutral cities to generate income, and produce new mobile suits. When your unit engages an enemy, the game shifts to a side-scrolling action sequence where you manually control your Gundam to fight the opponent. Use the D-pad (arrow keys) to move and navigate menus, and the A and B buttons (Z and X on your keyboard) to shoot and use melee attacks during combat.
Tips
- Secure resources early: Focus on capturing cities as quickly as possible to build a strong economic advantage for producing high-tier mobile suits.
- Play defensively in combat: In the action phase, prioritize dodging enemy projectiles over aggressive attacks to preserve your units’ health for future skirmishes.
