Battle Operation 2 describes the mobile suit as: Unicorn Gundam was produced to be the driving force in exterminating Zeon. The performance of this mobile suit is designed to be unmatched. By using data collected over the years about Psychoframe technology, Unicorn Gundam uses its NT-D system to enhance its abilities and destroy its enemies.

Along with the Unicorn, players can enjoy a generous amount of supply drops during the campaign, and battling the titanic mobile armor AMA-X7 Shamblo in the battle simulator.
