Mobile Suit Gundam: Cross Dimension 0079

About Mobile Suit Gundam: Cross Dimension 0079

The campaign of Cross Dimension 0079 is split into two parts. The first follows the story of Amuro Ray and the events of the Mobile Suit Gundam film trilogy. This rendition is cursory and only highlights very specific events from the series. Dialogue is generally minimal and animated cutscenes are infrequent. The musical score is also all original, giving Char a new theme music. The style of the tracks more closely resembles a Japanese roleplaying game than a traditional Gundam score. Most of the emphasis of the story is placed on Char Aznable and the encounters he has with Amuro Ray. Each such encounter has a corresponding battle in the game. Characters such as the Black Tri-Stars and Ramba Ral only make appearances for a single mission. The missions begin with the activation of RX-78-2 Gundam at Side 7 and ends at the battle between the Gundam and the MSN-02 Zeong at A Baoa Qu.

The second half of the game was an original story titled Prayers for the Dying, and follows an encounter between the Federation Albatross Transportation Unit and Zeon Wolf Gar Team.

On October 9, U.C. 0079, five days after the death of Garma Zabi, the Wolf Gar Team, a Zeon special forces unit mostly made up of former criminals, were separated from the main force after they were defeated by the Earth Federation's silk road counterattack, Operation Desert Dragon. Lost in the in the Gobi Desert, they eventually discovered the Albatross base, a Federation supply base, and attempted to raid it for supplies. This failed save for ammunition, however, after inflicting damage on the base, they discover a Gundam, the RX-78XX Gundam Pixy. They failed to capture it, however after seeing it in action they made repeated unsuccessful attempts to capture the mobile suit. These attempts end poorly for the Zeon as the Gundam Pixy proves itself a far superior mobile suit to even the Wolf Gar leader's MS-08TX Efreet.

Meanwhile, Captain Bork Cry at the Albatross base was forced to deal with his obstructive superior, Noct Gaddish, who refused to have him pilot the Pixy and forced him and his team to pilot RX-77-2 Guncannon 's, which were unsuited for close combat, despite already suffering heavy losses. D
