YMMV / Gihren's Greed

Go To

  • Complete Monster: In Gihren's Greed: The Menace of Axis V (the Updated Re-release of Gihren's Greed: The Menace of Axis), Bask Om, the Titans' second-in-command, is revealed in the Titans campaign to be behind all of the Titans' atrocities during the Gryps Conflict. In response to an anti-Federation protest on Side 1's Colony 30, Bask would deploy G-3 gas against the protesters, killing all 10 million of them; the backlash from this massacre would lead to the formation of the AEUG. During the Titans campaign, when the AEUG launches an attack on Jaburo, Bask would demand to be placed in charge in commanding Jaburo. If allowed to, then Bask would place a nuke below Jaburo without telling any Titans soldiers there of the nuke, ensuring that many of them die in the resulting explosion. When Blex Forer and Quattro Bajeena arrive in Dakar to protest a bill that would give the Titans absolute control over the Federation Armed Forces, Bask would propose the assassination of Blex to ensure the bill passes securely. If not deposed at the end of the campaign in favor of Paptimus Scirocco, Bask would instigate a civil war against Jamitov when the latter seeks to undermine the Earth Supremacist ideology of the Titans from within, destroying human civilization in the process.
  • Misaimed Fandom: Blood of Zeon is often blamed for inciting the Gundam fanbase to root for the metaphorical Empire - in the Zeon Ending, Gihren crowns himself emperor of Earth, uses his intelligence so the world will recover and starts a new golden age of peace. Yes, that Gihren Zabi. That said, every faction can play as evilly or benevolently as they want...including Zeon under Gihren.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The theme music for the Titans faction.
  • Spiritual Successor: The series is one of the key inspirations behind the games of indie Chinese developer Han Zhiyu: Chaos Sector (2018), Chaos Galaxy (2020), and Chaos Galaxy 2 (2023). The franchise features a litany of playable factions and characters, grand strategy, tactical space battles involving mechs and battleships, and a setting that mixes sci-fi with Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
  • No Problem with Licensed Games: The games are well-received and popular in Japan. Unfortunately, there haven't been any new ones since Shin Gihren's Greed.
