Changes: Gundam Breaker

Revision as of 19:45, 27 March 2014

Gundam Breaker is a video game for the Playstation 3 and PS Vita. It was first released for PS3 on June 27th, 2013, and then for Vita on October 31st, 2013. Both versions now have an online cross play component to share save data. Unlike most games in the Gundam series, Gundam Breaker focuses exclusively on Gunpla rather than a specific story based on Universal Century or an alternate universe.

Gameplay

The general gameplay is styled after traditional hack n' slash games. Movement is done with the left analog stick while holding X while moving in any direction initiates the unit's boost. Pressing or holding X while not moving will have the machine jump or ascend and dodging is performed by holding R1 and pressing X while moving in any direction. Square and Triangle buttons utilize close range moves. Holding L1 switches the unit to Long Range Mode to utilize firearms. The O button uses optional equipment such as repair kits or additional weaponry. EX Actions are performed by pressing either Square, O or Triangle while holding R1. EX Actions give the unit invincibility frames, making them useful in a pinch, but they need to be recharged before being used again. At a certain point in the game, the player can unlock the GAIOS gauge which when filled up, can be used to activate an Awakening, which boosts the performance of the unit greatly while dramatically increasing the size of the melee weapon. Units can take body damage such as the loss of an arm or even bifurcation. In the case this happens to the player, holding R1 can magnetize the parts back to the whole unit.

The main aspect of the game is Gunpla and thus your unit will be build from kits that have been produced in real life. While you can simply build a replica of a machine from the shows themselves, you will be encouraged to build a customized unit made from different lines of Gunpla kits (known as kitbashing). For the main game, you will be using HG (High Grade kits) but after clearing the final mission, you will gain access to stronger MG (Master Grade) kits. What you equip on the machine can affect its performance greatly as well as its abilities. Parts are divided in several tags such as Head, Body, Arms, Backpack etc. Some parts can offer a number of abilities such as their own EX Actions or Options or can give the machine the ability to hover. For example, the Freedom's HiMAT wings offer the ability to fly as well as its own EX Action to use the wing-mounted plasma cannons. The overall performance of the unit depends on the combined quality of the parts used in its construction. In addition, an OS Level (Operating System) is used to prevent the player from using high-end parts early on if they obtain them and this can be raised by clearing missions. The unit can be also be renamed and recolored to the player's preference. There is also the option of submitting the creation to the Gundam Perfect Games website for other players and visitors to see. Players can visit the shop to purchase Gunpla kits, items or avatars based on pilot suits used by characters in the shows such as Amuro Ray, Kira Yamato or Judau Ashta or factions such as the Titans or Neo Zeon.

While one can make a machine based on style alone, it may suffer if the quality of those parts are sub-par. Parts can be obtained in missions by destroying enemy units and their quality depends on the color their icon (white being the lowest and gold being the higest) and the player's Builder Level. The higher the level, the better the part. This also plays a part in the Scratch tag which allows the player to not only construct better versions of parts, but even create parts that cannot be obtained through missions or kits such as the arms of the ORB-01 Akatsuki Gundam or the legs of GN-005 Gundam Virtue. Missions can be played either solo with AI partners or online with other friends. The missions are one in the same for both, allowing veteran players to assist newcomers and ease them through the harder parts of the game. The online mode has the added benefit of allowing players to resurrect each other if one is shot down, which becomes extremely useful in missions where dying once equals mission failure.
