Was about to comment on this. I have been playing the game and trying to get the highest score, and there's a decent amount of variety and content. Completing the game once only contributes 1/8th of the total possible score because there's 4 difficulty settings in every mission and the added Quest missions. I hope the DLC adds more than just 4 suits per DLC (around 16+ total), but it's been pretty fun, just kitbashing kits that would otherwise cost an arm and a leg.

In particular, I'm still of the opinion that we _need_ a returning/expanded *Original Mode* from the very first game. It doesn't necessarily have to be the exact same plot [vaguely referencing an obscure manga-crossover with Ideon], but the sheer amount of new Pilots/MS added to the playable roster would greatly expand the replay value of the mode ~ in addition to making character interaction much more interesting. Just imagine all the potential encounters... not to mention the dynamic that many characters would have on the same team. I've even already made lists of the [expanded] possible teams for each Original Mode Scenario. That's how much I want another of these games!

@Bigkeg There are a fair amount of Zaku IIs and grunt suits in the high score leaderboard, though the game seems very unbalanced at the moment. Funnels/bits don't really do any meaningful damage, while stuff like Rex's Extra Large Mace is basically a one-shot boss combo killer, so people are probably leaning more towards high damage utility parts.

[@percival086]

Tell me about it. Completed every quest and story mission begging for a Gaza, Geara Zulu, or ReZEL to show up at some point, but alas. No Zanscare units whatsoever. We got a Bawoo at least, but its not Glemy's one; its the Sleeves design. Like someone else said, people who prefer non-Gundams over actual Gundams are a clear minority. At the moment, my main sources of disappointment for this otherwise great game are the lack of transforming abilities/gimmicks (I think the Aegis and Gaia Gundams are the only things that can transform, if only temporarily), and the inability to wield shields on both arms (because I'm an unrepentant freak for symmetry). And Turn X, by its own design, should be either completely immune to part breaking, or have a funnel ability involving separating all of its parts and spam attacking Super Robot Wars animation-style.

While I love this game so much, what I don't like about this game is how repetitive the mission is. Gundam Breaker 2 even has a lot more variety in it's mission. For example, almost every single mission in this game is a 3 wave clear, sometimes a boss. That's it. No exploration on the mission, no nothing. Very very repetitive. The only reason to do mission is to test your Gunpla Build. In 30 hours of my play, the mission (including story mission) just becomes boring.

Instead you get the recirculation color RX-78-2, which you could just replicate in game anyways. It doesn't have any unique features compared to the normal model.

[@socalkylex]

The biggest thing I would say is that this is a game for gunpla fans more so than mech game fans. The level of detail in digitizing real life kits is staggering. I’ve got a couple of the starting mobile suits displayed around my gaming setup and they nailed them down to every little bump in the plastic. With that being said the combat feels loose and mashy and it may be just because I’ve been playing AC6 lately but the battles leave me unsatisfied save for the parts that I break.

Random thing I came up with for the color presets issue. I made a generic RX 78 2 that I then colored all matte grey, then saved that to the very last slot of my blueprint menu under the name “primer grey” that way I could build for appearance first, and come up with a color after, simply by loading the blueprint. Unfortunately you’d need to know what color scheme you want to use before you build for that idea, but it ended up being useful for me when I wanted to make a new build.

[@Lloyd991P]

Long Story Short, if you love Gundam, yes get it. The amount of customization and gameplay familiarity from past GB games makes it feel just right. Now if you want a proper mecha game, buy Armored Core 6 and Mechabreak that will be coming out next year.

You have to grind out gunpla parts to 6* to have the burst/ ex / option equipment unlocked universally. However, certain actions will lock you out of some of your skills [ poor programming bug me & some of my pals found day 4 into this game ] and / or shrink your MG kit you made to an HG version of it. The remedy to that is using a Burst/ Ex/ Option that is included in your kit to fix that [again, another bug], but it is functioning and playable. AI is also dogwater if you buddys are offline when you hunt bounties, but awesome for story.

[@warmachine5835]

My first Breaker game was Mobile, and I find myself missing the cinematic EX skills they had in that game. Banshee's arms dashed at the enemy, dragging them along the ground with the claw, before tossing them into the air and shooting them with the integrated rifle. That was the coolest thing ever to me.

[@deruka7820]

it should be noted that the melee combat is a ~little~ deeper than what's noted here. if you hit square square triangle, you'll get a different finisher than if you hit square square square triangle, (and that extends further depending on the natural combo length, and can be done vice versa as well)

I haven't finished the story yet (so I skipped that section of this video) but I've already caught myself thinking of buying the real life kits to make my in-game mechas before remembering that I've altered the scale on some of the parts and so they wouldn't actually work irl. Still, I'm very much enjoying it. I've finished through Chapter 4 using a primarily SEED-based kit that was essentially just using certain body parts/weapons that I've always loved (Blitz right arm, Ginn head, Infinite Justice Shield...) but I've spent the last couple of days designing something completely unique using parts from multiple universes. The build even evolved as I was putting it together/testing it out/painted it. I originally wanted to use GN Swords/Rifles in both arms but ended up using Lupus Rex claws, and I'd created a custom backpack out of Builder Parts to slot over a GN-X solar reactor before rearranging those parts to modify a 00 Raiser. I have to say that I'm extremely proud of what I've created, and will likely use this for the rest of the story. The sheer scale of the customizations available in this game is awesome, and I absolutely recommend it to anyone who fantasized about having their own custom MS.

[@DBNunya-q4x]

Appreciate the qualified review. Yeah, it can be tough to roll with negatives on something you love (ie all things Gundam.) Appreciate your candor and honesty. That said, I will now be buying this.

[@ClassicQuarterGamePlays]

Super review on the game. keep up the great gunpla builds always😎✌️

[@fmeraz37]

Considering that Gundams are supposed to be twice the height/size of Armored Core units, it's a bit jarring to see a giant zooming hunk of metal the size of an office building suddenly come to a complete stop as well as have hyper-velocity-start-up animations as if it were a Dragon Ball Z fighting game, and just generally have the kind of attack animation you would see in Tekken fighting games. If you were to reskin the Gundams into human anime fighting characters, the movement would 100% be fitting, especially considering many areas have no sense of scale, so you don't know if you're supposed to be 6ft tall or 6 stories tall. I missed the slower time it would take to get up to speed, the heavy thunk of when attacks land, and the earthquake-like tremors you would get when a giant mech is felled onto the ground like in Gundam: Battle Assault 2 for the PS1. Not to mention it's 2024 and the graphics don't really seem to have moved on past the PS3/Xbox 360 era, so it's funny to see an ad in a videogame for a plastic model kit that has better graphics, effects, and animations in an in-game video that's arguably better-looking than.. well.. the graphics, effects, and animations of the actual videogame you paid $60 for. Why? because each kit is going to set you back $100-$300+, plus the cost of the gunpla-making supplies, primer, paint, brushes, accessories, etc. So instead of shoehorning too many micro-transactions inside an in-game cash shop that might anger the playerbase, they instead opted to advertise an out-game cash shop for RL macro-transactions. Smart move, Bandai Namco.

How is the gameplay compared to armored core ? Can we compare them ?

[@powerbonger]

Get this if you enjoy the collecting and customization aspect. If it’s better mecha gameplay you want, go Armored Core. They scratch two different itches

[@spacemanspiralcatzero]

Absolutely awesome review Mech 👍

[@ominousred]

Awesome. Amazing info. I am def getting this game after seeing this breakdown. Thanks!!!

[@Stingthehedgehog]

You can definitely chain together skills to make crazy combos. I love the Gunpla Building 🤩 They do let you use a custom color pallete

[@kaihedgie1747]

Regarding the story, it's not specifically Battlogue; Gundam Breaker 4 is a direct sequel to the story that started in Gundam Breaker 3. That was later followed up on by GB Mobile and Battlogue. The characters Misa, Mr. Gunpla, Ryusei and his friends are all from those games. It has nothing to do with the Build series. The only connective tissue Build and Breaker share is that the games would often promote each other. Breaker would get new Build kits and Build would reference Breaker in the form of build contests. First place winners who submitted their works would have them cameo late into the respective shows. If the story seems a bit trope-y, well, that's mainly because they pretty much just snuck some Final Fantasy in the game. The big bad group, Freedom Fleet, is very much just a homage to Garland, Golbez and the Four Archfiends

[@ikkievans]

My only complaints about the combat is that my fav builds from GB3 are not valid in GB4, you can't just have the 1 beam Saber, a Shield and 1 Rifle (you know, the standard out of the box gunpla kit loadout) and do just as much damage as those who dual wielding, back in GB3 we had in-depth combat, we had different weapon styles and different combo sets within those types, but now it's all about how weeaboo you can be with dual wielding everything (outside of large swords and melee). Funnel builds are now a no go, in GB3 funnels were always optional parts with their own individual cool downs, were far more aggressive and hit harder, if I made the same build in GB4 it would cost me 8 EX bars, for no additional time or increased damage, but at least all my funnels would be flying with only one button press, if they decided to actually hit once in a while. It just feels like they didn't have anyone who was passionate about GB3s combat on the team, either in their in house testers or combat development team. New Gundam Breaker was 2 steps back, and GB4 is a nice looking if only shallow step forward, still better than New Gundam Breaker, but still not par for GB3 in terms of combat, mission depth/variety and build potential. Hopefully GB5 will be closer to GB3 than GB4.

[@M_Rangers]

I Hope Added TMFA With Gundam Robot Dog in Gundam Breaker 5 or as DLC Pack in Gundam Breaker 4

[@carlosmelendez8317]

I cant decide between Gundam breakers 4 or Armored core 6???

[@Miphnificent]

Basically what I've told my friends is that if you're looking for an actual GUNDAM GAME you should go with SD Gundam Battle Alliance, but if you're looking for a Gundam Building Simulator with like 30% of a game strapped to it (which sometimes feels kind of like an afterthought) you should get Gundam Breaker 4. There've been some significant steps forward AND back since Gundam Breaker 3. Building is better than ever, so is melee combat and being able to use two weapons... AI are WORSE than ever before, and co-op has intentional desync when not fighting bosses, and the play areas are just fancy arenas which you kill stuff in and then teleport out of before teleporting to the next one.

[@GundamFireStorm]

I wish you could change the shoulder armor in conjunction with the arms! And I wish color customization was like Forza, where you could add decals to mask off parts of the suit you want to chance the colors on. Maybe there is. I haven't played with the textures that much. But yeah! Great review! I have very similar gripes and praises for it! This is the most fun I've had in YEARS!!! The most interested I've been in Gundam for a long time!

[@321guyver]

Just a clarification... the game is set in the Gundam Breaker 3 and GB Mobile Universe, that was used in the Gundam Breaker Battlogue, but per the plot, is in a new battle simulator different from how things were in the games and Battlogue. New Gundam Breaker's lore and characters are not included (thankfully). But more importantly, it is also not part of the existing "Build" franchises. My biggest complaint (besides it not being GB3's physics and controls with a new coat of paint.) is the basic EX skills... Like the saber combo. In GB3, it was available because you used sabers, not because of your arm pieces... And the mastering gimmick is just a poorly executed. The scaling changes, along with sometimes locking you out out of using other abilities while the parts are changed is just weird. But I love my Blue Destiny/Jegan/Jesta build. So I have to say I love it completely... 😁

[@variablelight]

I was excited to learn about the mastered abilities but they've just become a disappointment to me. The scale changes from MG to HG obviously hurts. But then the "ghost part" stands out even more if it's some ability that sticks around, with the final nail being some abilities getting locked out while the mastered ability is in use and I put the mastered abilities away. Combine this with the whole EX/OP foul up (too many EX should be OP )and the funnel rework(nerf!) and a lot of the post game glow is very faded. Still gonna make my Qan[T]/007 Sword/AGE-FX work somehow but I suspect it'll never be very competitive.

[@zealotscout]

Is there anyway to know what weapons "belong" to a kit? Its hard to build something and bind the kits proper loadout. Sometimes the weapons have the kit owner in parenthesis, but not always.

[@marioangelini1860]

Mecha Gaikotsu what would be your top 3 favorite custom Gunpla in Gundam Breaker 4. Like the ones you wish were model kits or If you were in a gundam anime the ones you would use them in combat.

[@burg3575]

Using the Aegis Body (both HG and the MG version) technically does make your suit transform when using the Scylla plasma cannon and yes the MA form will take account all the hodgepodge of parts you slapped on your MS which looks funny and ridiculous but other than that yes, kind of understandable why theres no transformation

[@Franky_Sthein]

A bit late but.....the weird thing with the music is in GB3 there was music from the series the models are from. You fight Shining Gundam as a boss, you hear G-Gundam ost. You use awaken with Wing Zero Model, you get Heeros theme. It is weird that this is no longer possible, maybe in the future.

[@cedrickcortez974]

What about the separation of waist to the legs when customizing?

[@MechaGaikotsu]

I MEANT to add that but totally forgot. The fact that the waist is part of the legs is definitely a bad point

[@John_TalbainN]

I must say. I'm really into this game, and it's been a couple of weeks since I started it. I love Gundam Wing, but all SD models do go hard ! Their not only cute, but they look cool as hell. Once I'm done synthesizing an HG Proto Zero and Epyon, I'm getting my first SD set ! Customizing is so freaking cool in this game. I've build a couple of gunpla kits in real life, and it's super fun. I would totally recommend this game.

[@MisterSouji]

Funny thing about the music. Gundam Versus has all the music from the series. Even SD Gundam Battle Alliance had instrumental versions.

[@JaffaArchfiend]

@19:00 gundam has some of the best music, heres an example *KZbin ad immediately starts to play* can not script that xD

[@Subwedge]

This game left me wondering what is Bandai thinking? DW: Gundam 2 is one of the best Gundam games ever made, with hours of replayability that doesn't feel as repetitive as GB4 or SD: Battle Alliance. Instead we got this... As a builder's tool, it's cool. Not worth $60, but it will absolutely help me planning future builds and dioramas. As a huge fan of this franchise I'd love to see it grow in popularity across the world, but I'm left wondering why Bandai continues to get in it's own way trying to grow the Gundam Brand. 🤷🙄

[@aroth1330]

the only thing i have a gripe about this entry is that when using mastered EX/OP skills, some of your parts got inflated, and not only that, when you using something like a trans-am or any EX buff skills from backpack units or mirage colloid you can't use parts you add from build part until the time of that buff ran out. so yeah, everything else is great. just hoping that they have the option to turn that off in the post launch updates

[@derekberry6122]

I don't know if you could put something like G.N. condenses on another kit like on the barbatos shoulder or some psycho frame on G-gundam at all. Can you? Have you ever ranked different parts against each other? Like best Wings and/or backpacks, shoulders, head design, legs or any other parts you said (dang, this part out class all others in its field)? At least you don't need to worry about being back heavy.

[@DaMechaTalks]

The story is basically the two arcs of the first Build Divers season rolled into one abridged version. Not completely one to one, but the similarities when they occur are noticeable in my honest opinion.

[@alceidchannel2877]

Still wonder why the graphics effect look bad compared to GB3

[@xaayer]

I wish there was a way to change music in game and olay musoc from the series. The lack of gundam series music is noticable, especially compared to gb3

[@MrDarksol]

You bring up some good points but look at it this way we haven't had an official gundam game being released in the states physically since I would say SD gundam battle Alliance and we haven't had an english dub for a Gundam game since Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3. Those are the big reasons why I would definitely get this one especially considering that we haven't even had a new gundam breaker game at all since new gundam breaker and that game was garbage. This one is at least made from the same team and while the story may not be as strong as from what I've heard that the second gundam breaker game has and I am definitely not the biggest fan of the whole virtual space of having your mobile suits fighting each other with no stakes instead of like how it was in the first 2 build series and even like with shows like Angelic Layer or Medabots, But again at least it's officially released, anyone can get it on whatever platform they want and we have an english dub. Plus you can make the tall geese and make It look like a goose or you can build an optimus prime so I think all of that definitely makes any argument invalid lol except for the tutorials and maybe the zero use of the OST from the series. Although I will say this at least this has music unlike armored core 6 where there's barely any and only very rarely does it show up but it doesn't show up when you're building your machine, like with the older games.

[@geraldlumingkewas2359]

Actually, there is some kind of transformation. It happens when using the Aegis Gundam self-destruct op skill, and when you master it, it does transform any type of gunpla.

[@ParxDerJaeger]

On the point of melee. Axe+Saber has some comboes that allow for kicks, which if you use Kimaris Vidar legs, is a absolute style and flavor win and omg I love kicking into drill knee

[@jactstone]

Coming from SD Gundam Battle Alliance and SRW30 that has an option to load custom music into your game library, I'm surprised it's not an option here. Also the lack of custom series music when triggering awakening depending on your parts.

[@kaiserburu6528]

Just wondering, are pilots from the actual series in this game? As in we can customise which pilot we can put on our mobile suits.

[@wisp1609]

I disagree with a lot of this but the last point especially. While obviously this game nor any game should be the thing that get you into the Gundam franchise (just start watching it), it’s a great way to get someone interested in Gunpla without committing to actually doing it. Because of the absolute wealth of choice and options. Gunpla itself runs into stock issues all the time. And some kits you might be interested in are super overpriced from scalpers. This is a great cheap way to find out what aesthetic of Gundam you like and see various real life kits you could buy in all of their angles before you decide to make a purchase. Just because a kit is “Gundarium tier” and fun to build doesn’t mean a beginner will even be interested in that suit in the first place. The best way I’ve found to get someone into Gunpla is to find the specific one that speaks to them. The. The addiction will set in.

I'm a purist, so I don't like that you can't just load the models up. But I still enjoy it, and I have been learning more about Gundam from the game, so that's a win for me. Just a tip, survival mode is good practice and a good way to farm parts. And Blitz and Deathscythe have cloaks that most opponents can't interact with, so they are great to ham on enemy Gundams with.

Only Breaker 1 and 2 had the real life themed levels, 3 abandoned that for the digital world idea before Build Divers hit the scene. I do wish we got some of those back tho.

Great video on Gundam Breaker 4. I liked it alot but i wish they hadn't changed the level structure from Breaker 3. The new 'wave based' format and smaller stages, makes the game feel more repetitive than it should be. I prefer the larger maps that let you move and explore after fighting enemies. There was also more level design variety in Breaker 3.
