Gundam Breaker 4, a new anime based mech game that calls to mind Armored Core 6 and Battletech, has launched to positive reviews on Steam.

Gundam has been a massively popular franchise for close to 50 years now, with torrents of comics and TV shows coming out consistently. It’s also spawned a hobby community devoted to building models of the iconic mechs designed for various series over the years, which has, in turn, inspired games like Gundam Breaker 4, a hack and slash mech game and digital robot builder that includes the action of an Armored Core 6 with the machine management of Battletech or Mechwarrior 5. And, though it only came out yesterday, the latest entry to the Breaker series is off to a great start based on player reviews and Steam charts.

Gundam Breaker 4 is, in some ways, a fighting game with a huge emphasis on character creation. Those characters just happen to be giant combat robots. As in previous Gundam Breaker entries, Breaker 4 lets players digitally build their ideal gundam mech through a vast array of components — no plastic bits or model glue required — and then control them in online or offline fights where, per the game’s title, they can break parts off of their opponents and use them for future building projects.
