Rage Burst is similar to God Eater: Resurrection and contains improvements to the gameplay alongside an enhanced visual upgrade. The members of a special God Arc faction known as the Blood Unit, separate from the group Fenrir, are sent to investigate the area. The world has to face a brand new pandemic caused what they call 'Red Rain' which has struck the Far East Branch area. The game is set three years after the event of God Eater Burst.

I didn’t get to see everything God Eater 2 Rage Burst’s campaign has to offer, but I don’t see the point in continuing a journey that takes so long just to get off the ground.God Eater 2: Rage Burst is a remaster of 2013 game God Eater 2. What I personally wanted from God Eater 2 was an engaging narrative, but because of the lack of tension and drama I expected from it’s dark setting, I’m left feeling like I didn’t achieve anything of worth after my 14 hours of play.

Combat is barebones, crafting isn’t as complex and there’s never a need to grind a monster for hours in order to get it’s best equipment. With the ability to partner up with up to three friends over PSN, God Eater 2 Rage Burst works best as an introduction game for people who’ve never played the most popular titles in the genre. Standard missions and hard missions never presented a genuine challenge for me to overcome, and I can’t imagine veterans of the genre will feel any different. God Eater 2 Rage Burst is the easiest hunting game I’ve played yet. You can even cheat a couple of your required materials by cashing in some of the tickets you get for completing quests. Thanks to the generous amount of materials you obtain after each quest, there’s never a need to grind the same mission multiple times before you’re able to craft what you want.

These can be used to craft a variety of cosmetics and parts to strengthen your weapons. Once your hard day’s work of hunting is finished, you are rewarded with monster materials. Their behaviors and personalities start to change as you break off their parts, enhancing their attack power and giving them access to their most dangerous abilities. Shift creates the illusion that your targets aren’t just hit sponges for you to beat on. Though their animations and attacks are predictable during combat, the game does an admirable job at making the Aragami feel intimidating. Varying from mythological like beasts to grotesque horrors, the enemies have a wide breath of creative designs for you to marvel at. The Aragami themselves are a great mix of creatures. With all these techniques locked behind this system, the best course of action is to pick the blood attack that deals the most damage the quickest and forget that the rest of them even exist. The problem is that a majority of the best and stylish moves are locked behind the blood attack mechanic, which restricts you to only using one unique move out of a group of 10 for each weapon. Once your weapon chomps off a piece of whatever creature you’re fighting, the God Arc temporarily gains that monster’s signature attack for you to abuse or buff allies with.ĭespite the diverse selection of weapons you have at your disposal, God Eater 2’s melee combat lacks the depth and personality of other hunting games. After a monster is stunned, this presents a good opportunity for you to use the final ability of your God Arc, Devour. Imbued with Aragami DNA, the God Arc gives hunters the abilities to get up close and personal, then change over to a ranged weapon on the fly. God Eater 2 enhances this by giving you the ability to perform every type of combat role in the game with your jack-of-all-trades weapon, the God Arc.

The thrill of hunting games remains cemented in their stylish combat and their depth of weaponry.
