What is Gundam Breaker 4 and could it be your first GB game?

So you’ve also never played a Gundam Breaker game before, but you’ve heard whispers of Gundam Breaker 4. Now you’re wondering, is it even worth playing if you haven’t played any of the previous titles?

Let’s explore, shall we?

What is Gundam Breaker 4?

Gundam Breaker 4 is set in the world of GUNPLA Battle Blaze: Beyond Borders or GBBBB (GB4), a fictional gaming platform where you can take control of your very own Gunpla. Engage in battles, gain experience, and collect parts to ultimately enhance your Gunpla and become the best builder out there.

But, what’s a Gunpla?

Gunpla is short for Gundam Plastics. Born from the decades-old hobby of model-making, Gunpla has been around for approximately 30 years and it has “built” a dedicated and passionate following worldwide.

Additionally, the Gundam Breaker universe extends to manga, anime, and even a mobile game. Safe to say, it’s not going away anytime soon.

Break, Build, Battle!

I expected Gundam Breaker 4 to be one of those niche, overly complicated games. But it was the opposite, with the game’s catchphrase summarizing it perfectly in just 3 words: Break, Build, Battle!

The goal is simple: jump into battles with your Gunpla model, duke it out with powerful enemies, and smash them to pieces. The best part? You collect those broken parts to upgrade and customize your own Gunpla. Then you do it again.

Simple Mechanics, Big Wins

The game’s mechanics are straightforward yet highly satisfying. It’s got a great story mode, side missions known as quests, and an online multiplayer game mode. Whether you prefer solo play or teaming up with friends, Gundam Breaker 4 offers players a rewarding experience, staying true to its core make-up: building and battling Gunpla.

The Perfect Start for Newcomers

Gundam Breaker 4 provides a thorough tutorial taking you through the basics of combat and movement mechanics, so you’ll feel ready to hit those impressive combos from the get-go.

What’s more fun is figuring out your unique playstyle — an ongoing development based on the parts you collect and the way you like to play. If you like to fight from afar or just brawl it out in the center, Gundam Breaker 4 provides for a great experience that’s easy to pick up and full of fun.

It’s your ticket to the world of Gunpla, letting you craft something uniquely yours while enjoying the thrill of an all-out battle.
