Your attacks are melee, though you can equip a long range weapon too. Your Gundam can jump and fly limited distances, depending on your boost gauge. There are other types of battle, but those tend to be straight up fights where you have to destroy your opponent. Unless you're distracted by the number of enemies, and your teammates inadvertently complete it for you. The team which completes the most missions wins the match. A lot of these are 3v3 matches, where you and two others have to complete certain missions such as destroy 10 GunTanks (if you’re a fan or can work out what they are).
The anime episode that it comes with does explain the logistics of this, but the game doesn’t. Right, so the main crux of the gameplay is controlling your little model in battle against other little models for various reasons. That text along the top is perfectly visible, right? In the 3v3 battles, I had to give up trying to follow along with what the teammates say, and I’ve been killed a few times when attempting to work out what each part does, and whether to keep or discard it. This is not a game that you can easily play if you don’t want to sit close to your TV. That’s not the worst of it either, as at the end of battles and during the entire Build menu, the font they use is even smaller. The subtitle text is a light (thin) font, and since the box containing them has faint lines across it instead of being a solid colour, it makes it even more difficult to see. The game makes this almost impossible unless I’m sat much closer to the TV. Since the voice acting in the game is all Japanese, there is a lot of text to follow along with. I have a 42 inch TV, have 20/20 vision and obviously sit back away from it. It’s this which brings in the game’s main problem. Rinko detects when Gunpla battles are about to begin, and announces them You don’t actually experience any of the lessons, you just go from battle to battle after a brief visual novel-style cutscene. The school has multiple workshops for students to put Gunpla together, and they decide pretty much everything by Gunpla Battle. See, in New Gundam Breaker, the Gundam franchise is alive and thriving - anime, manga, models, it’s all absorbed and adored by your fellow students. Yes, this is basically an advert for Gundam model kits. You know those model kits of planes and cars, that you have to cut off of a frame and glue together? Well, that.
You’ve been Gunpla-ing for years, and recently won a Gunpla battle at your old school! But what the hell is a Gunpla? In New Gundam Breaker you are the newest Gunpla builder at Gunbre High, Japan’s leading Gunpla Battle technical school as they seek to lead the world in its growing interest of Gunpla.
