SD Gundam Gaiden Knight Gundam Story is a fantasy turn-based RPG published by Bandai for the Famicom, part of the SD Gundam knight universe. Knight Gundam and allies travel across a medieval fantasy realm, recruit warrior companions, battle evil dark mobile suit knights and complete quests to defend the kingdom. Overworld exploration and turn-based tactical combat form the adventure loop.
The interconnected fantasy world spans villages, forests and multi-floor demon fortresses. Random encounters trigger turn-based combat against enemy knight units. Victories grant experience for levelling and gold to purchase weapons, armour and restorative items. Towns serve as rest and supply hubs.
Powerful dark lord mobile suit bosses guard relics required to repel the invading evil army. Hidden forest paths contain rare permanent stat boosts for thorough explorers.
Bandai’s cute SD knight Gundam tile graphics and heroic orchestral-inspired soundtrack blend Gundam mecha design with medieval fantasy aesthetics.
Strategically, consistent kingdom defence requires assembling a balanced party of varied knight units. Reliance on a single warrior creates severe weaknesses against foes with opposing elemental and weapon resistances.
For contemporary Famicom retro SD Gundam licensed RPG collectors, Knight Gundam Monogatari is a landmark domestic Bandai curio establishing the Knight Gundam fantasy sub-franchise.
