Mobile Suit Gundam: Lost War Chronicles(機動戦士ガンダム戦記 Lost War Chronicles) is a game developed and published by Bandai Interactive for the Playstation 2 Home Entertainment System. The Lost War Chronicles was developed largely by the same group that was responsible for developing Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo. The game follows in the vein of Journey to Jaburo's "Tactics Battle" mode. The setting is the One Year War, however rather than following in canon events of a television series, Journey to Jaburo follows in the vein of such games as Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: The Blue Destiny. The player assumes the role of either Captain Matt Healy and fights for the Earth Federation, or the role of Lt. Ken Bederstadt and fights for the Principality of Zeon. Atypically both main characters are in their later twenties, the latter of which has a daughter, a far cry from the typical teenage protagonist.
The Gameplay follows in the vein of Journey to Jaburo, but is significantly improved from the awkward controls of it's predecessor by the simple fact that it allows a form of control using the left analogue stick. The game features an intro atypical to Gundam games and especially to the context of the story. Rather than being a dramatic battle or a recounting of historical events from the Universal Century, it is more of a homage to Gundam fandom. It features stylized color and silhouettes of mobile suits, schematics and Gunpla in it's individual parts in plastic framework set to a mellow J-Pop style musical theme.
Lost War Chronicles was adapted into a two volume manga series, published by Kodakawa Shoten in Japan and Tokyopop in America. This was the only US release of this saga. Fortunately the two volumes were indeed both released in the United States.
