Gameplay
Battle Assault 3 is a 3D fighting game fought on a large battleground. Each Mobile Suit has three types of basic attacks - Light Attack, Strong Attack and Ranged. Inputting certain commands can allow for special attacks as well as devastating Super Attacks, though players only have three Super Attacks per round. Instead of going for three rounds, a player has a large health bar which is dependent on what the suit is - basic Mass Produced suits have a single health bar which allows them to be harmed by all weaponry; Gundam-types have two half-bars, one for Phase Shift and one for normal. The Phase Shift needs to be broken before you can deal with the normal, though beam weaponry passes through it; end series Gundams have full Phase Shift and thus weaker units have a much more difficult time breaking through.

If one is fast enough, they can hit the Select button and initiate a button-pressing sequence that can increase one's strength in various ways before outright repairing PS damage.

Trivia

 * With the exception of Master Asia, Domon Kasshu and Zechs Marquise, none of the series' voice actors returned to voice their characters.
 * A game in Japan based on the anime series Shikkon Gattai GoDannar! used this game engine, though it is unknown if that game came first and it was modified into a Gundam SEED game or not.
