My favourite Game: Gihren's Greed or 基連的野望 PSP version

My favourite game just gotten upgrade last week..
Gihren's Greed or 基連的野望 PSP version


is the Wargame for Gundam history covering from the 1st episode of the 1 year war to the end of the Universial Century..
covers topic include:

  • Politics
  • Production
  • Resources mgt


  • Research on MS (Mobile Suit) and Machines
  • Strategy Map: Solar System + Earth covering major districts
  • Tactical Map: Hex based covering major areas of earth and space
  • Unit covering from 1 Unit e.g. Gundam to a Squad for 3 Zaku
  • Every Ace Pilot in History (all episodes) and plus
  • Every MS in History and possible variations through research

Tried a few turns yesterday,
these are the first impression:

  • top graphics, everything is redesigned and with higher resolution graphics
  • Buying and development seems cheaper and faster overall
  • there is a Chaos vs Stable Political situation depending on the way you handle your occupations
    • a new way to collect $ and resource is by forcing special tax on your people.. thus creating chaos level
    • i think the diplomatic politcal sysem is gone.. i dont like much of it anyway
  • Change in Tactical system,
    • one of the important trick is gone. you are not allowed to enter new Strategic segment during battle (thus stealing other segments the cheap way, i.e. no more tricks)
    • Assignment system, now its very easy to assign per unit AutoRun functions, thus making gaming much fasters..
      • however, i'd still like to see a system where you can assign objectives, like attack here, defend there..
  • Change in Manufacturing
    • everything seems faster now, creating a Zaku IIF now takes 1 turn only
    • also one can upgrade MS in the battlefield
      • allowing upgrades of older version with newer technology
      • can change from Space mode to Ground or underwater mode
      • can change from normal version to Ace Pilot version (when the Ace is the pilot)
    • this change make it very easy to migrate old technology into new ones and not needing to create and wait
    • very good for the game and actually realistic.. (but i dont really understand why u need 3 MS to create one Ace.. oh well, so much for realistic..

likely, i'd spent more than a few hundred hours on different version of it in the last 10 years
from PS1, PS2, PSP x2
