SD Gundam Capsule Fighter Online

SD Gundam Capsule Fighter Online was a free-to-play third-person mecha shooter developed by Softmax, letting players pilot super-deformed Gundam units obtained through gashapon-style capsule pulls across lobby-based PvP matches and co-op missions rather than a persistent open world. Licensed across Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan, North America and more, the game wound down region by region through 2014–2015, with the last server (Hong Kong) closing July 31, 2015.

Catalog note

Not a persistent MMO

  • Gundam fans interested in the franchise's mid-2000s foray into free-to-play online mecha shooters.
  • Players nostalgic for gashapon-capsule mechanics applied to a competitive lobby shooter format.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • This is a session-based lobby shooter (PvP matches and co-op missions) rather than a persistent shared-world MMO.
  • All official servers have been closed since mid-2015; unofficial revival attempts (e.g. a private server rebranded as "Star Dust: Grim Offensive") exist but are unaffiliated with Bandai.
