    New Gundam Breaker is a love letter to Gundam fandom to the point where the devs can’t imagine that anyone playing wouldn’t know the mechs inside and out. In light of this, the real testament to New Gundam Breaker’s success is the fact that its obvious passion for its subject made me want to learn.

    A clear step backwards compared to its predecessor.

    There are some really good things in New Gundam Breaker, but others are terribly wrong. We would recommend playing one of the other far superior Gundam games.

    New Gundam Breaker is like a dream come true for GunPla collectors... and a nightmare for those who pretends it to be a decent Mobile Suit videogame.

    New Gundam Breaker is a good concept, shoddily put together. The story is a trope-fest, battles are confusing and the masses of text are hard to read. There are so few positive points it’s not funny.

    Between fumbling through the menus, mashing your way to a choppy and exceedingly easy victory, and clicking through meandering dialogue scenes that hold no weight, you’ll find yourself too bored to actually collect all the parts you want to make your perfect Gundam. If you’re itching to fight big robots, play Gundam Versus instead. Or, go punch that actual Gundam in Japan (don’t do that).

    New Gundam Breaker is a disaster. A near broken mess of an action game, even Gundam maniacs will struggle to stomach its many, many flaws. Its visual novel elements are so obnoxiously cliche that you'll have to stop your eyes from rolling our of their sockets, and the gameplay is a mix of clunky controls and unfathomable chaos. Add some unbelievably poor technical performance to the mix, and you have a Gundam game that's not even fit to be mobile suit scrap orbiting the Earth.

Yes it could be a bit more stable but the game is fun, there are tons of Gunpla to build and smash together and the gameplay is still great even if it had changed since Gundam Breaker 3. Don't get me wrong, this definitely isn't the Gundam Breaker 4 everybody wanted but it's still a pretty good game and clearly the calling it New Gundam Breaker instead of Gundam Breaker 4 was a distinction worth making, this is a change for the series and by no means a sequel.

    1. This is not gundam breaker 4 you are hoping for.

    2.NPCs actually do something in the game unlike gundam breaker 3 where they were present but pointless.

    3.Everyone keeps saying fights are 3 v 3 which is true but there are roaming goals and small fry.

    4.The camera and locking on needs to fixed as currently its better to have it turned off.

    5.It is true that you cannot level up pieces but I can confirm that pieces have moves related to that part.

    6. The game needs alot of work before its worthy of succeeding past titles.

    7. I hope we can make enough noise to get this game fixed but I will not score it less than 5 as it is playable, looks pretty and after patch 1 its alot more stable.

    Warning!! This is not Gundam Breaker Game.
    It is action game with stupid mechanic that use cosmetic gunpla as character.

    The biggest issues of this game is frame rate and short lag, that make the game unable to play.

    If you want good action gundam game with great customization, pick the Gundam Breaker 3 Break Edition instead. It was fun and way more enjoy than this.

    One last thing, I have a word for Bandai Namco Game. "You must fire the producer and staff who make this game and completely ruined this series." Please, don't attempt to change the good core game again.

    The game is really disapointing, gundam breaker 2 and 3 han good stories and exelent control and weapons usage, now if you put builder partThe game is really disapointing, gundam breaker 2 and 3 han good stories and exelent control and weapons usage, now if you put builder part weapons they are merely cosmetic, you cannot use all weapons at all times redering the game in a really poor dinasty warriors like game.
    Another very bad point is the terrible framerate and the game simply getting stuck in a frame various seconds, also the missions are all the same, hence the whole game resumes to a single 10 minute long mission repented 60 times in 8 different scenarios with different enemies.
    My advice is to buy Gundam breaker 3 or 2 and skip this crap

I loved gundam breaker 3 and although this is it's own game it's a mess just looking at it as its own standalone.
    First off the game stutters, changing between menus there is a lag where you can't do anything.
    That however is a minor issue compared to game play.

    Game play:
    -Auto targeting imo is sloppy and hard to choose your target.
    -For ranged aiming there is no aim with sights option like last game and your left to try aim at enemies directly in front of you with a view directly behind you(your gundam is not transparent).
    - Parts are dumbed down and there is no random values at all anymore or upgrades.
    -Dashing is no longer really dashing and there is no way to dodge anymore and stagger from being hit is awful which makes melee hard/impossible since even trash mobs cam stagger lock you.
    -mission objective extremely confusing. You get points based on objective and mission rating is how many stars you get before completing. Sometimes its ideal to ignore main mission so you can do side objectives but you'll have [main] destroy 4 target enemies [3*] destroy 4 target enemies. there is no option to pull up objectives and elaborate

    Overall i was excited that the game was being brought over locally without having to get the English version imported through online vendors but this has been a huge letdown. Issues are beyond a mere patch to fix and i'm now worried about the gundam breaker series as a whole.

    One plus side is since they named it "New gundam breaker" they can still release "Gundam breaker 4" and we can pretend this abomination never existed.
