The latest game in the famous mech franchise – SD Gundam Battle Alliance – has received an update today to kick off the start of September.
After a muted release on 24th August 2022 reviews pointed out several problems in the title, both technical and in terms of game design.
This patch seeks to address both though technical issues seems to be the focus. In terms of design enemy AI and enemy visibility were tweaked which should make gameplay better overall.
The replies to these changes have not been kind, partly because some of the patch notes are vague and partly because other aspects of the game need attention too.
These patch notes, which you can read below, were posted on Steam so some items may relate only to the PC port. As SD Gundam Battle Alliance is also available on every relevant console (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S) those playing on those systems may need to look out for future updates.
