Review: Gundam Breaker 4 (Switch) - A Return To Form That Focuses On The Series' Strengths

Breaking free.

In many ways, Gundam Breaker 4 represents a fresh start for Bandai Namco’s mecha action series. Not only is this a return to the roots after the divisive New Gundam Breaker didn’t go over so well with the fanbase, but this marks the first time that the mainline series has come to either the Nintendo Switch or Western audiences. Luckily, Gundam Breaker 4 makes a great first impression—its combat is addictive, the customisation options are second to none, and there’s enough content here to keep you busy for quite a while.

Gundam Breaker 4 features a simple story, placing you in the role of a self-insert protagonist who is playing an in-universe version of Gundam Breaker 4.
