Gundam Breaker 4 (Switch) Review

[@zeterzero4356]

7 ain't bad! But can we talk about that Samus build? That's really dope.

[@Patmanx1]

I had gundam break 3 on vita. That game was addicting. all the weapons, the parts, upgrading parts, and the endless builds. It was 100's of hrs of fun without a need to grind.

[@neonhaze3725]

I still play 3 on my vita to this day lol.

[@Jociaoftrades]

Mine keeps crashing when I try to go to cfunnels in the option parts. So I’m actually super happy to have breaker 4 come out so I can continue my obsessive playing on it.

[@illuz1oN44]

Still play it on vita till this day, your right I've sunk so 100s of hours into that game

[@StudioRevoct]

It's pretty good but right now there's not much post game content, but I feel there will definitely be post game event quests.

[@Srsgaming_1234]

I low-key don't like that it dips less than 15 fps lol but none the less its a really fun game. I just beat Gundam breaker 2, and now I need to beat 3 before gb4 just ordered it 😎

[@lucaslease4571]

That Samus customization is phenomenal!!

[@captainswagger2838]

It reminds me a lot of little battler experience from the 3ds. Very excited for this.

[@illuz1oN44]

Except waaaaayyyy better inactually enjoyed LBE

[@chaosgale123]

Gundam Breaker 4 on my Nintendo switch is going be fun i always play on PlayStation but doing on the switch is the first time I ever done but it going fun i am planning getting this for my nephew i got him hook up on his first Gundam Breaker and he love it. For all Gundam fans we got 2 days left for the release i am excited for it Wooooo‼️

[@kingtyger8702]

I want it, but gonna wait for a sale. Wish they would release a Gundam Dynasty collection.

[@corey-cg01]

I adore that Samus build. What parts did you use?(I apologize if the question is a tad dumb i can barely focus rn cause its like two in the morning for me. The only parts i could immediately recognize even with max blur for my eye sight was Aerial's legs, a Leo's arms and a Zaku 2's backpack.)

[@deadmangames6572]

The arms are either leo or one of my favorite MS the tallgeese for torso its the gouf I think for the range idk

Zaku 2 head Hyaku shiki torso Leo arms Aeriel legs

[@corey-cg01]

​@@hugodepon1393 thank you!!! What's the shield, if you know? I'm on the part where he shows the build but I can't recognize the shield.

[@deadmangames6572]

@@hugodepon1393 damn I thought it was the gouf torso you right and for the arms its been a while that i whatched wing i just remembered the leo and tallgeese arms looking similar so my mistake

[@corey-cg01]

​@@deadmangames6572I was thinking it was a Gera doga when I wrote the comment torso but no it's the Hyaku Shiki's torso. I believe the arms are Also cause 99% of the time the Talgeese arms has the dobergun or the shield already on.

[@Aiello_]

the custom robo take is so true, personally i think they should just mash Breaker and Fighter series, why not being set in the Build divers game and be able to fight with or against Riku, Hiroto, Sei and Sekai?

[@chrisharknessdcfan]

I have gundam breaker 4 on my switch lite and I'm really enjoying it

[@christiancarlson8411]

Is there ever a review nowadays where it isn't just some dude whining about whatever game it is the entire time?

[@garythebard]

In recent days I've been on a Mecha craze - Armored Core 6, Mech Warrior 5, Megaton Musashi, Daemon X Machina, but man... This one is failing to excite me. Despite it looking very similar to Megaton Musashi, it just seems low effort.

[@gigalagaki]

What's your take on Megaton Musashi? I grabbed in on Switch for cheap recently and am looking to start it soon! AC6 was incredible, and I've been keen to actually get into DxM forever!

[@garythebard]

@@gigalagaki Sounds like you might be infected with the Mech fever like me! Megaton Musashi is ok. Of the aforementioned games, Armored Core 6 is by far the best mechanically and stylistically. Both Megaton and Daemon are inferior on literally every metric. That said, Megaton can be fun, though the Switch frame rate makes it feel a lot choppier than it actually is. I bought it on Switch full price, picked it up on Steam at 50% off and was blown away by how smooth it felt on PC. It has cross save / cross play so that's pretty awesome. The game is fun, simple, but repetitive. Maps are hideous and uninteresting. Story / characters are charming. It's not a great game, but it has a charm to it and as a game to jump in and play for 10-30 minutes at a time to get a Mecha fix, it's decent. I know you asked about Megaton, but will also give you the low down on DXM. Daemon X Machina tries to meet Armored Core 6, but falls way short. It feels like what would've been Armored Core 4 (I mean this not in the sense of AC4 literally, but rather the way games have evolved) mechanically it feels a generation or 2 behind AC6. Has some features I like, such as being able to float indefinitely. But the weapons lack the impact of AC6, and this may be a personal preference thing, but I did not care for the story / characters. I watched half of the story but then started skipping everything to rush to the end. Now, the curveball here is I'd love to point you towards Mech Warrior 5 Mercenaries. This is the mech game I've put the most time into. It's radically different from the Japanese flavored mech stuff, but it has by far the most compelling and enjoyable game loop. Easily beating Armored Core 6 in that regard. I like AC6 better, but MW5 has a better loop. Highly recommend checking that one out. It's on game pass, and it's a ton of fun. I've got about 80 hours in that game and still playing regularly and not bored.

[@gigalagaki]

@garythebard WELL. You are a superstar, and I appreciate the deep dive significantly! I've been curious about MW5, and the series as a whole, for a long time. I'll take this as a sign to pull the (10 foot tall) trigger! I'll keep DxM on the back shelf, at least until I finish playthrough 3 of AC6 and am desperate for something else, and I'll start MMW for exactly what you mentioned - that quick mecha fix ^.^

[@stevenchan3822]

Great port!

[@Makoto03]

I like Gundam Breaker 4 but i hate how they handled stages in this game compared to Breaker 3. That game had actual exploration and movement in a large area. The stages in Breaker 4 all small and just the same repetitive wave based mission structure, over and over. It gets tiresome.

[@RipperX2K]

Does this game have PvP because I haven't heard anyone mentioned that yet

[@hentainin87]

ive been searching the internet for this answer too, so far the answer is a resounding "no", but i kinda hope we can at least have some kind of pvp mode to clash our robots, i mean building them is fun but dueling them would feel awesome XD

[@yass3425]

No it doesn't

[@Vanden_Vanden]

[@nestorduque8681]

[@reaverofsouls]

I might pick this up. I personally would like another Dynasty Warriors Gundam. Those were fun AND challenging.

[@ah08223]

great review

[@sypharorigin]

I'm sure you meant in the "Gundam breaker series" and not in the "Gundam series" when you said it was the first for a Nintendo system? Reason I ask is because it's been a huge series of games if you count the whole Gundam series with many, many on Nintendo consoles dating as far back as to the original Famicom.

[@starwindamada5313]

Samus

[@artoriapendragon3234]

Gameplay wise its definitely not as good as AC6, though Fromsoft games are always a high bar to clear. Custom creation wise it is definitely far better than what AC6 had the potential to give us.

[@markmediastudios3031]

Is E.D.F. 2 worth it, isn't it old?

[@R9V3N]

Worth it a lot. I have the first one and it was a blast. 2 improves on so many things including multiplayer. Also if switch 2's rumors are true and games are retro compatible it will be even more worth having it

[@jadamane]

Seems like the latest earth defense game is the winner . E d F!!!

[@n8dagg434]

Glad to see the game is just as repetitive as GB3 and there’s no significant improvements to the combat or animations. 🙄 God forbid they add mission objectives, level variety and some weight behind the combat animations and impacts. We need to start demanding more from these devs. Everyone reviewing it is giving it 8s and 9s, which is ridiculous, this series has always been a 6 at best. As far as I’m concerned, this is a low effort cash grab. They’ll still get my money, but I am not happy about it and no one else should either.

[@neonhaze3725]

That’s your opinion honestly. It’s fairly loved in the community. And 4 is definitely waaayy better than New gundam breaker. So at least they learned from that one and didn’t do anything more from that game. I personally love the series as it’s one of the better series of the Gundam franchise

[@n8dagg434]

Hey, I enjoy the series myself, like I said, I’m buying the game, but it’s always been lacking in variety and we’ve waited long enough that we should expect some major improvements. I don’t want to spoil one of your favorite games or anything, but I’m going on a rant… So many fantastic mech games have come out or are coming out soon and this one is firmly at the bottom of the heap. The only thing it has going for it is the Gundam license. This game packaged with unlicensed mechs wouldn’t even make a splash in the gaming community due to its bland, repetitive gameplay loop. Customization doesn’t mean much if the game built around it offers no real intrigue. I would also argue one thing New Gundam Breaker had over the mainline entries was much larger maps with elevation changes and features that made the environments more interesting to traverse. It also gave you actual mission objectives that added some variety to the mindless combat, which gave you a reason to move around the map searching for things. Heck, I think there were even hidden bosses and items in some levels. Even though NGB was seriously flawed it did play a lot more like a musou game, which helped alleviate the series biggest shortcoming, monotonous button mashing in small arenas. NGB was a more deliberate game and it stood out because of that, it’s a shame they fumbled in so many other ways. With GB4 it’s one step forward and one step back. Sure, we’re back to the better combat, there’s more customization and you can dual wield now, but they’re largely selling us GB3 with a fresh coat of paint. In all the gameplay I’ve seen virtually nothing seems different and now we’re back to these small, lifeless, flat, featureless arenas where the only objective is to kill everything before they teleport you to the next arena. It’s literally the most repetitive game I’ve ever allowed myself to get sucked into. I’d also like to float the idea that the melee combat in the mainline series is too fast. It’s like, comically fast and immersion breaking for giant robots to move like that. Call me ignorant, but of the anime I’ve seen, the Gundam are more grounded in physics and they move more realistically. Anyways, I understand some people don’t mind doing the same thing, in the same small arenas for hundreds of hours, so they can collect the parts of their favorite Gunpla, so they can customize their mech, so they can do it all over again… But, for me (and most others), I need something more compelling than that. Flat out, this series doesn’t hold a candle to other mech games or even other musou games in terms of quality or variety, and without innovation it will never sell well outside of Japan. This formula gets really boring, really fast for anyone who doesn’t eat, sleep and breathe Gundam. If they were to simply invest in making a better product they could reach a larger audience like Space Marine 2 is about to do. I bet tons of people who’ve never engaged with Warhammer 40k before will buy that game because it looks f*cking sick. I would hope you and anyone else who’s played the game would agree the game would benefit hugely from the improvements I suggested. We’ve waited 8 years and we’re basically being sold the same damn game.

[@n8dagg434]

I mainly just wrote that because I hope a dev sees it and it helps them realize that they suck at innovation and they need to get with the program. 😂

[@yamakingz2]

This is one don't buy the game if you are giving them money they are not going to to listen to you if you not satisfied with the product.

[@zetacorn3749]

Hmmmm. I was excited for this. But the repetitive mission types and lack of any kind of exploration is kinda...lame. fyi. I don't think saying"well thats how these games are!" Is a fair defense. Nothing is going to change my mind.

[@elkristof86]

you the big dumb dumb

[@starscream6629]

Then play a different game? Gundam games have never been about exploration. The biggest maps have been in the musho game, lost war, and code fairy game. It’s always been about the different story lines, the mobile suits, pilots, and customizations. Breaker has been about grinding for parts to kit bash. This isn’t news so if you’re a tourist you don’t have to announce your departure.

Try Gundam SD Battle Alliance it's a fast pace compared to this, there's separate buttons for Dash, Jump, Block, and it's sometimes team work that is needed.

Can you build and customise in either of these

If you want a faster pace of combat, then sadly the entirety of Gundam Breaker series wasn't that dynamic to begin with. You gotta take a look on Gundam EXVS series to get such fast-paced action 🗿

That’s not even comparable I think pretty much everyone would pick space marine over Gundam. Only thing I’m checking is it better than Gundam breaker 3 break edition. If it’s not it’s a deep sale.

Guys, Only trust game reviewer's if they have at least 500 to 1000 Hour's of actual game play at the least, minimum, other wise they are nothing more then uneducated reaching content zombies, just trying to eat as many review counts for their channel and have no idea what good games are.

But how can I trust you if you haven't put in 500 hours? Early code only went out 12 days ago so even if you got an early code and never slept you'd only be at 288 hours.
