Code Fairy dons the multiplayer aspect of the previous Battle Operation game in favor of an episodic story. Following a special unit of female Zeon Pilots called Noisy Fairy, Code Fairy is story-driven with the exceptional gameplay found in Battle Operation. Players assume the role of Alma, who must work with her new team to help the Zeon regiment win the war against the Earth Federation. This sounds unusual to probably most fans who are accustomed to piloting mostly male members and those who are on the Earth Federation side, but we welcome these theme-breaking elements and love the concept Code Fairy brings to the franchise!

Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation Code Fairy being focused on the Principality of Zeon means you're not using Gundam and GMs but instead Zaku, which might sound weird but is far from it. The Zaku you are partnered up with our heavy duty units that aren't mere pushovers. However, don't let yourself think you're indestructible in a large Zaku; Code Fairy isn't afraid to show you that overconfidence can be anyone's downfall!

As it plays like Battle Operation, Code Fairy lets you run with your giant Mobile Suit and lay waste to your foes with several weapons in your arsenal. Alma's Zaku has a high-powered heat sword, as well as a massive bazooka, making her the damage dealer of the group. Meanwhile, Helena has a higher-powered sniper rifle, and Mia utilizes a machine gun. Don't be scared, though. You can gain even more weapons and abilities as you progress, which will make your pilots stronger and more versatile.

What we adore about Code Fairy is the camaraderie between the pilots themselves. These girls are indeed fierce but outside of combat—and sometimes during—their youth comes out, leading to some fantastic dialogue between the squad. We do wish there was an English dub—though the Japanese audio is stellar nonetheless—as we did have difficulty reading what the pilots were saying during the more heated battles. Needless to say, we can't wait for what future volumes bring to Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation Code Fairy and the squad known as Noisy Fairy!

Lastly, we have to give B.B. Studio credit here. They made Code Fairy feel like an anime series in a video game. Every chapter has an opening and closing—which are great—and feel like actual anime episodes. You could no doubt fool a gamer into thinking they are watching a Gundam anime, and that is a big thumbs up from us here at Honey's Anime!
