DO NOT BUY THIS GAME FOR THE GAMEPLAY! only buy it if you want to make your own Gundam. Download a complete save file and have fun making your own mobile suit. NEVER ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME!

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Buy this only if it's 80% off!!!!!!!! I'll try to write a review being as objective as I humanely can, without comparing it to earlier installments of the Gundam Breaker series. Everyone liked 3, and this game pales in comparison. This game presents itself as a Visual Novel mixed with Gunpla building mechanics. The visual novel aspect is far from being interesting, since there are no different endings and …

My God, I played Gundam Breaker 3 on PS4 and this is....such a downgrade it's honestly amazing. Bought for seven dollars, isn't worth that. They honestly thought you'd have fun swapping out parts mid battle. Like, you wanna spend a lot of time customizing your mobile suit, right? Well someone just slapped your legs off, you shove a mismatched pair on from a totally different looking suit. And your abilities aren't …

The reviews and nay-saying do not do this game this justice. It's easily one of the worst Gundam games around, attached to a game series people sorely want, a small footnote to a high grossing franchise that many people can enjoy. This game is one big monkey paw, and living proof we live in the wrong timeline for having consistently good Gundam games for western fans. The fact that NGB is still a $50 priced game in …

I got this game for just under $8 during the winter sale 4 years after release and it staying around the $50 mark. I figured at this price I couldn't complain, but this game isn't even worth $8. It's so bad it's unexcusable. The main game story is like a cheaply made visual novel that isn't interesting, but wastes so much time going through unless you just skip it entirely. 1/10 Combat initially looked liked ps2 …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →New Gundam Breaker, a game with a flaw, Lock-on that makes us want to gnaw. Online features scarce, Frustrating beyond repair, But the Gundam customization are worth it all.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As I've seen some reviewers say, if you're not already a Gundam fan, don't bother. I'm going to add that if you are a Gundam fan, this is an nice diversion. It's prettier and more fun to play than the mobile version, for sure. Painting the MS is pretty nice, and this covers everything up to Unicorn. Sorry, no Aerial.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Happy Gundam Day!. Anyone have any big plans or way they like to celebrate? I usually spend the day playing Gundam games (planning on putting time into New Gundam Breaker today. I know, I know, but there aren't many great options on Steam. I'll take any recommendations.) and then end with a movie at the end.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gundam Breaker 3: Break Edition for the PS4 can be purchased on Amazon and is way, way, way better than this in every way, shape, and form. The sole plus side of this game is that you can tell the writers for the VN segments at least had some fun with it, with each route being at least enjoyable on a surface level, but for $50? Just watch the videos on youtube.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bring back Gundam breaker 3 on PC this is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gundam breaker ever!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's ♥♥♥♥. Total downgrade from Gundam Breaker 3
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i feel like these 3rd person action games are the Japanese equivalent of slavjank, just overly cluncky movement and combat, obligatory visual novel and harem aspects. just all the hallmarks of a poor game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thank God Breaker 4 will soon exist. We can put this piece of trash to rest
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd be more apt to buy Gundam Breaker 3 break edition again on PC as a good port at full price, over the 75% off version I got from this trash, I don't know what they were thinking taking something so Unique and solid and stripping away all that to make this, the controls are bad, you got so much going on the screen all the time you can't even stop to enjoy the work of art you made, the weapon you spent so much time on can't be used at the start of every match, you have to spend time collecting…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Normally I would tell people that VNs are the worst kinds of entertainment. After playing New Gundam Breaker that thought is only reaffirmed. Dont be fooled, this game is a VN first and gundam game second. The best part of the game is setting up your abominable machine that has a Parkinsons Disease based targeting system. And I know this is a big personal gripe but everyone in this high school has Sameface Syndrome. Apart from some hair style changes and maybe one or two gradients of a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a great custmize system, but it's severly hampered by a few things, especially with this game's core mechanic of part-swapping. it makes it really hard to actually want to play the game knowing that your machine is gonna get stripped of all it's uniqueness in less than a second, and the '5-part limit' is just silly. the game also controls in a clunky manner that makes it difficult to enjoy your victories. TL;DR: Great customization attatched to one of the THE WORST gundam games I've ever…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good gunpla sim bad video game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite the complaints of those who played Gundam Breaker 3 and how downgraded it is, it still fufills the role of kitbashing a mobile suit thats only limited by your imagination. I had fun despite it being my first breaker and its lack of features that the previous had. I would like to hope that Breaker 3 gets a port to PC but that is still a dream.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short answer, I do not recommend this game, wait for Gundam Breaker 4 to be released on the 24th of August. It is such a downgrade from Gundam Breaker 3. GB3 had it's flaws though, it could be repetitive and grind-y, but there was a certain enjoyment in that and at the end of it you could make fun Gunpla / builds ect. Side tangent, that game was perfect on the PS Vita as it was great to dive in an out of, so it's such a shame Bandai haven't released it on Steam so that it can be played through…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dating sim and gunpla! Chill and fun game to relax on,
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's like Gundam Breaker 3, but worse in every way. Didn't realize when they said "new" they meant "Completely different with no connection to previous mechanics or gameplay" But I suppose it could be worse. Could be an SD Gundam Game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gonna throw my hat in the ring and say that this entire game was a colossal mistake, these devs took everything from Gundam Breaker 3 and ruined it.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I literally only use this to come up with gunpla ideas, See you in GB4 when that drops!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Goofy ahh gundam game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's about 35% Visual Novel that retreads the same story over and over with a new....I don't know what to refer to it as, girlfriend(?) for each "storyline" and the rest of the game is just a fun 3rd person brawler that was training me for Armored Core 6.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not a fun game. It is, at best, a neat VR model system with a painful, grinding mechanic for acquiring parts. My biggest issue with it is that the battles are so frantic and mantic, helped not in the slightest by a lock-on system that's more hindrance than help (seriously, what good is a lock-on that won't stay locked on?) and utterly failing to convey the feeling of battle in multi-ton mecha. Playing a game should not be an exercise in frustration, and yet this game is so persistently…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of the dookiest downgrades EVER. They should've just ported GB3 over instead of letting this one chromosome extra of a game see the light of day.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit: After plugging around 20 hours in the game (give or take when I left it on while doing other stuff) I still think the game is a bit annoying to play, but it's grown on me a little bit. Still have my complaints about the AI and the overly-grindy nature of getting parts, but some stuff in the single player makes grinding for sets a little easier. Get it on dirt-cheap sale and make sure you turn off locking onto boxes, and maybe you'll have some fun with this one. Corny, tired Japanese…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →got it at a 99% discount and i still have buyers remorse go get breaker 4 instead
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First impressions were already bad enough when I got to the main menu and the background looked like baby's first Unreal game. You can really tell this was made during a phase where Bamco thought that competitive video games were still a cash cow because everything that was fun about Gundam Breaker (from the combat to parts collecting) was neutered for the sake of a competition style game. The story and characters were so laughably bad and milquetoast that I ended up toggling event skipping on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is basically a demo level stretched to a full game. Wait the few months for Gundam Breaker 4 to come out. That game will be better than this. The bar isn't high, but I am hopeful.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I only bought this game because it was on sale and I can say that this is hot garbage. They ripped out everything fun from GB3 and replaced it with a game that felt like it was a cheap knockoff of it's predecessor Here are my main complaints: - the battle system seems more janky and clunky then previous games (it’s being run on unreal engine 4) - the animation looks unpolished and low quality - the fact they got rid of the virtual hub for a minimalist main menu makes it feel like they…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The feel is very bad, and the operation method is a bit messy. Even I, a hardcore fan of the Gundam series, can't play this anymore, I would rather play other.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just get M.A.S.S builder. It got better graphics, controls and overall enjoyability.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just buy breaker 4
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gundam Breaker 4 is a thing now. There is no reason to buy this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ anymore.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →as a fan of the series this game lost its touch for its fan-base
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would recommend this to GUNPLA fans. (When it's on sale) I honestly could care less about the story, and the combat can be a little awkward. But the ability to collect parts and kitbash mobile suits, paint them whatever color you want, and name them *or even go as far as to create your own lore* becomes pretty addicting if you really enjoy the hobby or just the mech designs themselves. Going into this as a Gunpla hobby sim, I found way more enjoyment.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a Gundam Dating Simulator with 7 different individuals to work through. The 7th, being the most unique one without giving any spoilers! There are plenty of unique gunpla in this game with an amazing amount of customization to say the least. Gameplay wise, it's a basic hack-in-slash where it's either a team battle or working with a fellow classmate to help them get through a battle simulation. It consists of collecting 3 parts and turning them into a recovery box, defeating X…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It only takes up 10gb, plus you can paint a lot of iconic models. Helpful art tool, terrible game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →buggy nightmare avoid at all cost
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Plays terribly, lock on goes everywhere BUT the thing you're trying to lock on to, repetitive missions, and just worse than the older titles. The only thing fun is the building, but getting the parts is a chore. Wait till Gundam Breaker 4, Not worth it even on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got the game for $10 and still feel robbed. But I can build whatever mobile suit i want so 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After reading the reviews and trying this game out for myself, not playing any other Breaker game other than the Mobile version (RIP) this game is...not good. Targeting is all over the place, movement is slow even when boosting, and enemies will juggle you till your HP is deleted, the only reason to even buy this game (and I would wait till its on sale) as someone said is to get a complete save and have fun building and coloring your own mobile suits, that's it. I do not recommend this game to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are a Gundam Breaker fan from previous titles, this game will disappoint you. This game is very closely to being related to Gundam Breaker 3 in name only. Like every other poor review about this game, I would only recommend it if you got it for free, and good luck playing at that.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game might not be the best, surely others will say the same, but it is a diamond in the rough for me. If you are looking to build your own gunpla any way you want then this is the game for you. Sure, there is some grinding to do but it's fun to do it while changing your gundams. Story is not great but let be honest, you came for the gundams, so it does not matter much.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is by far the worst GB game. just buy GB4 it's infinitely better and up to date on kits.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible game. Gundam Breaker 4 on the other hand is worth playing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy this game, buy GB4 instead. This is such a disgrace to Gundam Breaker genre
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LOVE Gundam but this is Absolute ♥♥♥♥...If I was making games and made this I would quit. Ridiculous pile of garbage
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a fun game but since it is a console to PC port there seem to be a large number of performance issues. The customization is great but it feels like there are quite a few missing Gunpla kits. The story is a very mid visual novel style high school story, it is a quick read and the full art slides are well made. Overall this is a fun Gundam game but I highly recommend using a controller.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely a game that is better off missed out on, I didn't hate it but compared to the original Breaker games, this one lacked heavily in near enough in every aspect it but do not regret the time spent on this game as well as you see it more if you have played the recent release of Gundam Breaker 4. this lacked in comparison bare in mind this is old and was the attempt for a reboot we didn't need it only worth if you get it cheap.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From my point of view the story is not so bad. I mean think of it as visual novel is good enough. As for battle system it's really downgrade from GB3. So if you want to get this for story, girls and to collect this game in gundam collection. Just buy it when it's on sale or not buy it at all. Ps. If you want to play Gundam Breaker on PC just buy GB4. not this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game! did not expect the "dating sim" part but still fun, great for planning paintjobs!
