New Gundam Breaker is the previous Gundam Breaker game on Steam and the one to buy only if you want its specific ideas. Its headline feature is real-time customization: parts you knock off enemies can be fitted to your Gunpla during the battle, which the Steam page calls a first for the series. It also has 3 on 3 online Gunpla battles, and a single-player story set at a school ruled by the Laplace Nest team. The hardware bar is low, with 4 GB of RAM and a GeForce GTX 460. The trouble is reception: only 45% of 1,704 Steam reviews are positive, the second lowest on this list. At $49.99 it costs only $10 less than Gundam Breaker 4, which has over 250 base kits, 3-player co-op and an 85% positive English score. That is why it ranks last; most fans should buy Gundam Breaker 4 instead.
