For the Japanese release, the game's voice overs were dubbed in Japanese featuring the original cast of Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) reprising the voices of their characters, with minimal attempts at lip syncing.
Despite being developed by an American company and using western actors, the game never officially received an English release.
The actor playing Char Aznable is criticized not only for making the character seem old, but his chin is also the subject of ridicule with Japanese fans giving him pejorative nicknames like "The Chin Comet".
Many Japanese fans consider this game as both a kusoge and a "Newtype-only" game (due to the befuddling guesswork required to stay alive and advance the story) and scoff at this Gundam being easily destroyed by things that it would otherwise be able to overcome in the original, like auto-cannons, Magella Attacks, and even landmines.
