SD Gundam World: Gachapon Senshi – Scramble Wars – Map Collection is a tactical expansion to the original turn-based strategy and action hybrid, released for the Famicom Disk System in 1989 by Bandai. Originally distributed exclusively through Nintendo’s Disk Writer kiosks, this add-on provides ten brand-new maps for commanders to test their mettle. You continue to command armies of super-deformed “Gachapon” mobile suits, plotting their movements on a strategic grid before clashing in real-time, side-scrolling 1v1 action combat to decide the fate of each skirmish.
How to Play
Your main objective is to conquer the enemy’s headquarters or eliminate their entire army. On the strategy map, use the D-pad (Arrow Keys) to navigate menus and select units, and the A button (Z key) to confirm actions such as moving, attacking, or capturing cities to generate income for new units. When opposing mobile suits engage, the view shifts to a real-time action battle. During combat, use the D-pad to move, the A button to execute melee attacks like beam sabers, and the B button (X key) to fire ranged weapons.
Tips
- Watch your energy: Firing weapons drains your mobile suit’s energy gauge. Make sure to pull damaged or depleted units back to captured cities or your base to resupply.
- Use the terrain: In the real-time action sequences, utilize platforms and the varied terrain to dodge incoming fire and maneuver into an advantageous position for melee strikes.
