This is very specific game for very specific tastes.

In terms of progression and meta mechanics it's similar to something like Diablo, Nioh or any given only action game like PSO2, Vindictus or Warframe. You're supposed to replay the same content over and over on progressing difficulties to become stronger yourself and progress further, it's basically a loop. It's not endless, but if you like it, it can offer hundreds of hours of gameplay. I've spent over 300 hours in Nioh 2 for example, before doing everything there is to do, it's that deep.

In terms of combat it's a mix between dynasty warriors (gundam) and devil may cry. You can juggle enemies, and float in the air yourself while comboing. You can mix and match normal, special (OP) and super (EX) attacks to make lengthy flash combos, while fighting enemies. There are ultimate (burst) attacks to. The longer your combo is, the more bonuses you get, it's more transparent grade system similar to DMC, but instead of letters you're outright told what bonuses you get for better combos.
You still get letters for missions though, based on time and amount of parts you've broken off enemies. There isn't SS or SSS though, only S.

And finally, at least 50% of your play time, or even more, you're expected to spend in character editor, in this case plastic model editor, where you mix and match parts of your toy robot, paint them, upgrade them, fine-tune and min-max their stats. It's simpler and more accessible system than Nioh 2, but still pretty deep and can change how you approach combos and bosses.

However, if you don't like robots, or grinding, or looping gameplay progression, or unrealistic floaty combat with juggles and combos, then you won't like the game.

If you havent played a Breaker game before then wait for a discount id say, or go for New Gundam Breaker if its cheaper. The game is a bit of a niche, like Earth Defence force, overpriced for what it gives, but its a cult game so... eh.

Don't play New Gundam Breaker. That games sucks. It will turn you off the series. It's a very, VERY poor representation of what Gundam Breaker game are like.

GB4's at least playable. It's fun. It's also fairly shallow. I'd say it's not really worth full price.

DO NOT DO THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. There's a very good reason that thing died as hard as it did.

As someone who's been playing the series since 1, I'm in love with the game enough to be playing it through twice both on the PC and Switch. That said, it's certainly far from perfect, and with no demo I can't in good conscience recommend it to someone who has no idea what they're getting into at full price. Short version is if you like customization and building cool machines, you're not going to find anything better. I'd recommend checking out some of the crazy things people have built on YouTube for instance.

Also from what I gather from people talking here, the non-Japanese version is complete garbage, so make sure you don't accidentally set the language wrong.

It doesn't because the movement in NGB is the worst in any game I've played. So having those big maps is awful. There's also maps with some weird hard to understand layouts. I'll take simple over complete garbage any day.

It's really short and not very difficulty but maybe that's just cause I'm a god. I'd wait for a sale or if you really love gundam and mech building and never played a breaker game you'd be safe to pull the trigger

You can't hold down boost for longer than 5 seconds before you run into an invisible wall, hell 1/2 the time I'm trying to move and can't and I realize I'm actually up against the edge of the map. The map sizes in 4 suck, made even worse by the indestructible obstacles they placed on some of them.

The core gameplay doesnt change at all, you load into a map, you blow up other Mechs.
Some maps have waves of me, some only have 3 and some only have 1 or 2 giant ones.
The big appeal is the building part of the game, while not 100% like real like gunpla building it does stuff you cant do real life, like scaling or have parts clip trough each other.

I love games where you can build stuff which is part of why I want this
