GUNDAM BREAKER 4 to limit customization on select Gunpla models

GUNDAM BREAKER 4, the first numbered entry of the fan-favorite mech series in more than six years, launches globally on August 29. Ahead of its release, the dev team has shared a few more tidbits on what players can expect.

While GUNDAM BREAKER 4 will allow for all kinds of customization, there will be some areas where you’re restricted. According to the devs, select Gunpla models like the “Super Fumina” and “Mobile Doll May” will limit customization when it comes to paint options and how their parts behave. Along with this, instead of seeing damaged parts fly off of these models, the two will showcase the damage as static noise. Apparently these decisions were made to align with ethical guidelines and game ratings.

In GUNDAM BREAKER 4, as an aspiring Gunpla hobbyist, players will be able to mesh together their own mecha creations by using parts from more than 250 iconic Mobile Suits from throughout the Gundam series, and then test their creations on a virtual battlefield with up to 3 players in co-op multiplayer. Fight through missions to hack, slash and shoot through hordes of enemy mechs, breaking off their parts to collect and upgrade builds. GUNDAM BREAKER 4 introduces an all-new feature to the series, where players will be able to use two different weapons for unique combos in their quest for the best parts to build the perfect Gunpla. In between battles, players access a robust mecha garage where they can customize their creations with new parts as well as paint, decals, and weathering to make the ultimate mecha expression for GUNDAM fans.

Once players finish building their Gunpla, they have the option to bring it into a wide variety of both offline and online missions. Take down bosses or take on hordes of enemy mecha to gain new parts and equip new skills. Another brand-new feature unique to GUNDAM BREAKER 4 is diorama mode. Construct elaborate scenarios with a variety of backgrounds, environmental elements, and special effects, then place any Gunpla creations capture the perfect pose with highly articulable models.
