Bamco likes copying From Software with some new IP and this looked very much like a simplified Armored Core 6. We’ve yet to see the protagonist if important, so he does seem faceless/unimportant to the narrative.

I can’t say how impactful a alien invasion approach in Gundam would be with just two characters and premise is pure action. It seems contradictory to lower the bar of entry, especially being a new timeline all it’s own, but want to appeal a story to action game fans that tend not to care beyond the gameplay.

A story of conflicting ideologies is far more interesting than a generic alien invasion against a faceless foe who lacks any character, and it is against the spirit of Gundam as well.
