Update: I lost my full sokai units was not able to get back account even screenshots didnt help.
Dont reset phone or delete the game expecting account is connected to ur gmail.
Lost everything idk Registered and kept transfer code but after spending hours building gundam all gone. Cannot login and lost my account. Many people lost account after getting full build set from gacha and then cant log back in. Horrible support team is very true. Because about 20 emails went back and forth for 3 months at the end they said sorry cant recover. funny alot players report similar like me. I feel like the support team are just there warming their seats.

Disclaimer:
3rd update of review with overhauls and same old TL;DRs.
This will be my last update if things do not get better soon.
★★★TL:DR★★★
GBGW is dying. Apart from losing passion, losing to competitors, the annoying grinding has become a boring routine and the rewards do not get F2Pers forward anymore (if it wasn't serious enough for players to quit...but I did predict the overcompensation and 25% population will finish the Circuit). However the game does favour new players...so feel free to dump your lv 240 account and create a new one (at least, that's what I have been seeing).
However, it does favour a lot for P2Whales. Is the cost worth it? If you can buy a PG model of your favourite gunpla for the same price, what you are purchasing in-game is just a random Gacha...unless you pay enough for the special offer...in that case you probably can buy 2 PG 1/100 IRL...You determine that.

★★Difficulty & Progression★★
Early Game to End Game:
This is now thoroughly structured. You should be hitting the ceiling at the right time and difficulty, but all the resources now are accessible and farmable at a reasonable rate. No Early Game is too hard, no insurmountable End Game if you have the right parts and skills (I have to defend for all the Zaku girl fans out there: it's time to upgrade those Zakus!!!).
★★TC:Rewards★★
SBCG tier, high tier time consumption and an irregular schedule can still benefit at max.
Time consumption to Reward ratio is at 3:1 or 2:1 atm. You rarely have a chance to power-up your best gunpla. Over-consumption of HARO is inevitable, which led to burnouts and retirements. Yet, efficiency wise, it's getting nowhere once you hit max player rank.
★★VAGS★★
Visual: Better than most games
Audio: Same score...few 1-liners from pilots...just good enough
Gameplay: They said they are going to improve that, I am still waiting and expecting it to be better
Story: Better than your trash Age//Turn A, but it's not like at an epic classic level either.

Honest Review 2021 (June Edition)
Best Gundam related game on smartphone for both 2020 and 2021 so far (till June).
I will be going through in-details for each of the problems after I list out the Pros.
★Pros★
1. There is no doubt you won't be finding a better gunpla game with so many mix-&-matches for you to design.
2. Fluid battle mechanics.
3. Reasonably balanced for most in-game parameters.
4. Sort-of skill-based (only if you build to bare minimum or less).
5. Interesting story (choices do not affect outcomes).
★★★Cons★★★
1. The grinding time and playing time now have increased its demand. Basically, if you are playing casual, you are not going to get much out of it. If you are serious, be prepared to grind for hours (2 hrs+) unless you have the strongest parts.
2. The guilds are falling apart. Only top 100 guilds (around 1,500 people are playing at full peak) are really grinding hard enough for full reward.
3. There is no good way to improve your gunpla parts once you hit top 10,000 in PVP. The shortcut is to pay a huge sum which could buy 2 PG IRL models. Otherwise, F2P takes a whole year+ time to level up one part to Level 99//Max. Part Trait//Max. ExSkill Level (daily login).
4. Daily Mission in Guild is extremely difficult, forcing you to burn resources. Its cost is reasonable, but eventually it does eat up the valuable assets you need for other routines.
5. The Shop in Guild is for the SUPER WEALTHY. Do not overspend and always stock up parts for point dumping when your guild calls for it.
6. The repetition of Battle Circuit wears out many players. Its difficulty is tough, and completing it is an exhausting task for regular F2P without consistent parts to compete at all.
————————
★★★Suggestions for Improvement★★★
1. Make Daily Mission in guild progressive accordingly to user preference.
2. Create an easier version of Battle Circuit with fewer rewards and laps so users can choose.
3. Multi-Player Mission grinding is weary. A single boss fight on repetition that requires NO SKILL, NO COMMUNICATION, no strategical gameplay...no one is enjoying it anymore...a simple repetition over hours just eats away your player base motivation to play...
4. The same Event cycle is boring. It's a mix-&-match gunpla building game, we all have a toolbox for creative build, the problem is: the game design restricts us to only a certain build after all...
5. Make Limited Parts free to craft. Offer us 1★ Beginner Version so as to let us design the gunplas freely. Restriction to creativity is one of the main issues.
6. Make parts in Skins also usable for Building Gunplas. Again limitation does drive away players.
7. Create Mission-based Mulit-Players map with objectives and variations. You have so many plots in all the series where you can use as templates for varioua scenarios.

I love gundam so I love this game, but the flaws are there. Either you love it so much that you look past those flaws; or you don't mind the flaws just because "I am GUNDAM!!"
(P.S.: Guilds are shattering everywhere...find one and keep everyone motivated)
This is the game we gunpla fans have been waiting for. Compared to all the other mobile gundam games, this is by far the best in terms of the gundam elements. Although you cannot fully customize your gunpla like real life, there is still plenty of options to make your unique gunpla. Some people say that you need the strongest parts to build a good gunpla, and doing that will make it look like crap. This is not true at all. You can first build the gunpla you like with any parts (weak or strong doesnt matter), then you can simply level up the parts through battling or upgrading, and you will soon have a gunpla that looks good and is strong (i made a wing gundam custom and it looks really good + its so strong from all the tuning and upgrading). To fix the tutorial crashing just skip the part where there is battle involved.
Still has a lot of bug. Play with caution.
The game was typical robot building kind. You build the gundam with parts that you get from gacha, and play it in 3D third person view. The control was responsive and the UI designed to be play with one handed.
Gacha was kind of good, you get 5% chance to get the 4 star parts or pilot depend on type of gacha you do. Truthfully, just dont get your hopes high to freely build yours especially for hardcore fan of gundam as the part available is less than ideal since the game was just released.
Still the game was fun....if there was no crashing bugs and lag everywhere.
The concept: Bring your own beautiful customized Gunpla into battle.
The reality:
- Your strongest gunpla will almost always be a monster with mismatch parts from various gundam franchise. To drive it home, the very first gundam you build is... a fusion of a GM and a Zaku.
- You can't paint your gunpla. You can select from a color preset that you have to UNLOCK first. Bye bye my dream of a pink and orange camo Sazabi.
- Prepare to grind an insane amount of time, or throw an insane amount of real hard cash into the grinder for your dream gunpla.
- Also, the best part of real life gunpla is modding. And this game has no modding whatsoever. Bye bye my dream of an eight arms spider theme Zeta Gundam.
- Did I mention you have a seperate gatcha for AI pilots?
And the multiple choice story remind me of some *cough* adult dating sim.
This is SD Gundam online but you need a tablet to play without problem
Fair warning ocd will happen unless you love msg or wing or a normal zaku
The game is a 3d hack and slash with the limitations on range hit and dash (it consume stamina and ammo)
Graphics are really good expect no less from the demon bamco to lure people into gacha hell
Sound are boomers music so... BOOMER
Storyline... Preety wack the typical harem
Value is preety good and might stay for a while
Gacha rate for 4star are 5%
which is 40% hit in 10 pull standard
This is the closest we'll get to a Gundam breaker game on mobile as far as I know. You can customize the individuals parts, paint jobs, and decals. You can also fight in the Arena (If you are strong enough) to win Arena points and fight in coop battle againts NPCs (Though I never bother to do it). Overall it is a very decent and very good game aside from some weird crashes that I didn't even know why it happened.
Update 27 Oct 2021:
Currently they are working on Battlogue but the integration already shared out premium MS to welfare (those u get free with less) level. Not to mention, most are reworked looks as well as reused EX so it can be boring af to some. However the worst is actually the gameplay, arena players are now more bots than humans as well as the recent infinite EX trigger means u have much lesser chance of a good fight vs a human build. Also the lack of PvP means this game won't be here fkr long.
Other than that.... The costly play stays in the form where prized part drops are rarer than getting a Bitcoin. So for those who are thinking of challenging ranked with F2P accts...u better hack it than play normally.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically its a good Gundam Breaker game but it also breaks your wallet. In fact, if there's a zero star option, i would put it in.
Game content CAN BE better and this is also one of the games where its the players that make the game instead of developers with constant ideas to BETTER the game. Kinda lame.
Bandai Namco should really look into these ppl they are paying and if they are worth keeping or replacing.
