The breathtaking battle racing game has finally broken through the limitations of the race, and has been completely revamped as an all-rounded
robot competitive sports game. Robot customization now has even more freedom and more options than ever!

In destruction, there is beauty.

BREAK ARTS III (BA3 for short) is an action game built on the concept of Comprehensive Mech-Customizing Competitive Sport that features the following:

• Incredibly detailed customization options, where anyone can make their very own unique robots
• Strategic decisions that challenge you to customize robots suitable for the terrain, environment, and game plan, and also put your skills as a pilot to the test
• Stunning graphics and a photo mode with all sorts of handy functions

Customization-Centric Gameplay

Compete in tournaments, earn prize money, and unlock over 200 modules, plugins, and pre-set frames.
If you're having a hard time defeating your rivals, it's time to customize your robot. Create your very own custom combinations and strategies to tackle every situation, and you'll emerge victorious!

What awaits at the end of all your battles...?

More Rules, More Playstyles

Race:
A pure racing mode without combat
Will you build the most lightweight robot possible, or add every thruster you can to blast across the circuit?

Battle:
There's no determined race track in Battle Mode. Move around the field freely to fight against your rivals.
You lose points if you get knocked out, so you'll have to avoid your opponents' attacks while taking them down!

Battle Racing:
A sport that combines racing and battling.

Final rankings are based on points earned from race position, how many racers you eliminated, and how many titles you have been eliminated.

Chaotic Customization

You can customize your mech in your own style by equipping modules to the various connectors on your basic frame.

By making full use of special plugins and joints, it's possible to put together complex builds that summon special weapons, remote-controlled attack systems, or wings that deploy according to your movements.

Weapons are not bound by set positions and can be equipped freely. They can of course be shoulder-mounted and even equipped to the back, with the loadout alone greatly impacting battle tactics.

The endless customization from previous BREAK ARTS titles has been expanded even further. Color settings, bullet types, and animation settings can all be customized. Plus, mech propulsion is now controlled by the direction of the thrusters. Experiment through trial and error and build the ultimate mech to suit your style.

Online Mode

In Online Mode, you can adjust the game modes and field, as well as the strength of gravity, energy recovery amount, and environmental settings such as temperature.
Pit your mech against players from across the world, and hone your skills while refining your battle tactics and customization together.

Show off a mech tuned for maximum performance, or outwit your opponents with something unconventional. Heated battles and competing strategies await you online.

Plus, the new co-op feature allows multiple players to pilot one mech. Allocate roles and work together as a team in this unique cooperative experience.

Score Attack Mode

In this mode, you will compete with rivals around the world for the top times, scores, and enemy takedowns, while pursuing the best solutions for mech customization and operation techniques.

If you surpass a set score, you may even win prize money depending on your results. Additionally, online rankings are reset each month, allowing players to constantly aim for the top in fresh circumstances.

Diorama Mode

In Diorama Mode, all parts are unlocked from the start. You can build your dream mech in any way you like without worrying about performance limitations.
Whether you're chasing style or aiming for laughs, the choice is yours. You can take photos of your final build in Photo Mode and share them on social media to show off your designs.

For Rookie Artists

Assist functions have been added for first-time players who are starting from BREAK ARTS III. These include cornering and off-course assistance, as well as auto-fire while moving, among others. Plus, in Casual Design Mode (*) you can build a mech from the outset without concerning yourself with complex parameters.

Get started with these helpful features and enjoy the free-form customization and piloting action of BREAK ARTS III.

*Casual Design Mode will be disabled in Score Attack Mode and during online matches, and set parameters will revert to their normal values.

We've received all sorts of incredible entries from artists worldwide for the Mech Customization Contest, featuring stunning designs, surprising originality, and sleek combat-ready machines. In fact, it'd be a waste not to share these great designs with everyone, so we'll show them off here. We were also sad to see some great designs fall short of getting a prize, so we've added a few extra winners to showcase even more of them!

Take a look at the winning entries!

Mech Design Category

Grand Prize:

This award is granted to the most outstanding mech. We're looking for an overall sense of design and creativity.

Artist: patchitoiwarete
Title: Angel
Comment: Even without wing parts, it's possible to make it look like the unit has wings. (But that results in a crazy number of modules...) They can even move in a wing-like way. I'm particularly fond of how it looks like an angel, but is equipped with very aggressive weaponry.

Role-Playing Award:

This award is granted to the machine with the best lore and a design that reflects its story.

Artist: DokkyWokky
Title: surr | eptitious
Comment: A secret project from the designer of a lead manufacturer. Her obsession has manifested itself as an Architecture beyond all human form, between a chimera and hound. Despite its power, its name and visage bring shame and fear.

Visual Impact Award

This award is granted to the mech shining with the most individuality. Show us your one-of-a-kind creations.

Artist: REGZA
Title: White Titan
Comment: An Architecture modeled after the great giants of legend, this machine is a holy knight in charge of keeping peace in the virtual world. It sacrifices operating cost and maneuverability to achieve sturdy defense and high firepower. Its weapons can deal with targets at all ranges, with a large-caliber beam cannon for long range, the Iron Fist subweapon for medium range, and a foldable sword for close combat. When facing multiple opponents, it makes use of micro missiles as well.

PLAYISM Award

This award winner was chosen by PLAYISM, the publisher of BREAK ARTS III. They were looking for a yellow mech, the same as their brand color.

Arrtist: goyabrother509
Title: SUPER GIRAFFE
Comment: GIRAFFE MAN, evolve!!!

People's Choice Award

This award is granted to the creation that receives the most likes from users. Attract as much attention as you can!

Artist: Yonaga
Title: Grand Lancer
Comment: My take on trying to design a Mech that is mostly made for offense. The first who strikes takes the win. My inspiration comes from the ""Grand Lancer"" unit of the game ""Binary Domain"", yet I tried to rebuild it using my memories, rather trying to copy/paste it.

It is mostly meant to be a walking artillery unit, but also has its ways in close combat.

Creator's Choice Award

This is a special award given by MercuryStudio. The developer would like to see mechs that go beyond his wildest imaginations.

Title: Magical☆Ohoho
Comment: Ohohohohohoho.
This posh lady always wears a mask.
When a truly formidable foe appears, she takes off the mask (to run away).
(She switches from an offensive form to a hit-and-run form)

Kisa's Choice Award (Special Judge)

This award is given to a mech selected by the special guest judge, the VTuber Kisa. Apparently she has quirky tastes in robot design...!

Artist: kuroaru_0126
Title: Dragonic Drill's Destructor
Comment: Commonly known as DDD, this machine pierces everything in sight with its high-speed, drill-shaped beam blade inspired by of deep hole drilling equipment.
Its dragon-like appearance is a reflection of its uncontrollable competetive nature. It can't stop and won't stop, and only charges forward like a drill.

Special Awards

Artist: Jusotich
Title: InTheDeadOfKnight
Comment: InTheDeadOfKnight: A mech designed to stalk its prey through the darkness. Primarily a covert reconnaissance unit, it is not meant for direct engagement. It looms over its targets, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and will not relent until its prey is subdued.

You never see it; you only feel the chilling realization that something is amiss. This terrifying dread is amplified by a dark truth: the remote pilot, externally linked to the machine, is mentally stripped of all empathy by an onboard suppression program. Furthermore, the link wipes the pilot's short-term memory upon disconnect, ensuring no one can ever recall the terrifying actions of InTheDeadOfKnight.

Aritst: Uninstall
Title: EX-Skyline
Comment: To rapidly deploy into the battlefield, it sacrifices most of its defensive armor. The jetpack and fuel tanks mounted on its back can accelerate the unit to subsonic speeds, and disintegrate at the end of its trajectory. From a ground perspective, it appears like a sudden second skyline scattered across the sky.

Artist: PipiLonCoc
Title: KUROKIBA
Comment: A Ronin armed with devastating Great Swords and Katanas. Once it has your scent, there's no getting away.

Diorama Category

Grand Prize

This award is granted to the artist whose diorama has the greatest artistry. A truly artistic piece.

Artist: peminin
Title: Payload
Comment: Maintenance underway...

Storytelling Award

This award will be given to the artist whose diorama has the best storytelling. One that will leave people asking for more.

Artist: gS3dGt9oxUGhlLQ
Title: Allies
Comment: The final battle begins.

Visual Impact Award

This award will be given to the artist whose diorama has the most originality. ""How was this put together?""

Artist: Shadow8492
Title: Break Arts Space Program
Comment: I've retired, but I built space shuttles in real life, so I decided to recreate a shuttle alongside all the equipment used to build it in a diorama. This includes a shuttle, rocket booster, and launchpad. Maybe this is how they explored the surface of the moon in BA3.

People's Choice Award

This award is granted to the diorama that receives the most likes from users.

Artist: 4f53411
Title: Highway Battle
Comment: I imagined a battle that takes place in the real world, as well as a civilian car that got caught up in the action.

Creator's Choice Award

This is a special award given by MercuryStudio to the most exciting diorama.

Artist: Cheeseburger Charles
Title: The Rascal Lineage
Comment: A simple diorama showing the progress of my personal Architecture, Rascal. It started off as a modified Difektiv, until becoming more its own thing.

Kisa's Choice Award (Special Judge)

This award is granted to a diorama selected by the special guest judge, the VTuber Kisa. ""The scenario is the most important part, right?""

Artist: Gufucustom (@B3_GOUP)
Title: Duel
Comment: As I made this, I was thinking of how the best part of mech battles is when mech parts get broken...
Diorama Mode is great for creating things that can't be made in the main game!

PLAYISM Award

This award will be given to a diorama chosen by PLAYISM, the publisher of BREAK ARTS III. ""Just start by using yellow!"" ""And a whole lot of it, at that!""

Artist: ocean_ssa
Title: The 3rd beginning
Comment: Blockhead has returned as a turtorial unit in the 3rd envrionment.
It can once again witness the birth of new artists...
In that instant, its nonexistent consciousness seemed to give him a gleam of excitement.

Special Awards

Artist: Demiurge
Title: KA-1J0 ""BREAK ARTS - Citty Assault""
Comment: It came from the virutal sea.

Artist: rentju88
Title: ""Breakthrough""
Comment: Carve your own path with one slash.

Artist: dawgawserdawn17
Title: Special Assault Force ""Scythe""
Comment: A mysterious group with unknown intentions. Nobody knows what their mission is, or whose orders they follow. However, one thing is certain.
You don't want to get on their bad side.

Awarded to the artist–or rather photographer I should say, who captures the single best shot. Show us what you’ve got.

Artist: yuki_GB4Sw
