『BREAK ARTS III』Product Information

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 is an action game built on the concept of Comprehensive Mech-Customizing Competitive Sports 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!

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 have eliminated, and how many times you have been eliminated.

To compete in these matches, build the best mech you can according to match rules.

Explosive speed, or overwhelming power? Your choices and reasoning will influence your chances of success.

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.
