until bamco stops being stupid this is the best way to scratch the Gundam extreme vs ich. the gotcha part isnt so bad, as the game doesnt require you to put in unreasonable amounts of time to unlock characters.

Recommended Sep 14, 2026

Pretty fun. Not as p2w as people say and the rewards are pretty generous. Servers can be bad sometimes but usually are pretty good.
