A common question: Why play this instead of Super Robot Wars L or W, which also feature SEED Destiny?
Because Generation of CE is more accurate. In SRW, Gundams fight alongside Evangelion and Mazinger Z, which dilutes the tone. Generation of CE is a purist's dream.

For nearly two decades, the Super Robot Wars franchise has served as the gold standard for anime crossover tactical RPGs. However, nestled within the pantheon of mecha gaming lies a forgotten gem that hardcore Gundam fans have begged to see localized: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny: Generation of C.E.
