SD Gundam - Gachapon Senshi 2 - Capsule Senki (Japan)

SD Gundam - Gachapon Senshi 2 - Capsule Senki is a turn-based strategy game for the NES, notable for its collection and combat elements featuring Super Deformed (SD) Gundam units. The game unfolds on a grid-based map, where players and opponents take turns performing actions.

The primary objective typically involves destroying the enemy's main base or capturing all strategic points on the map. Players begin with a base and a certain amount of funds. From this base, you can produce new units. A unique aspect of the game is its "Gachapon" element, meaning unit production can involve a random factor; you cannot always choose the exact unit you want, requiring adaptation to what you receive.

Units in the game comprise various Mobile Suits, Mobile Armors, and other combat vehicles from the Gundam universe, each possessing distinct stats such as HP, attack power, defense, and movement range. Players move their units across the map, capturing neutral cities or bases to increase their monetary income, which in turn allows for further unit production or upgrades.

When two units engage, the game transitions to a separate combat screen where units automatically battle, with outcomes determined by their statistics, terrain advantages, and sometimes an element of luck. Resource management, strategic unit placement, and a thorough understanding of each unit's strengths and weaknesses are key to achieving victory in SD Gundam - Gachapon Senshi 2 - Capsule Senki.
