The multitude of scantily clad female characters initially left me disinterested in taking advantage of the game’s conversation system – which is a problem, as it’s the main way you learn about the world of God Eater. Pretty much every character I met early on conformed to at least one anime archetype. The sense of familiarity isn’t helped by God Eater’s character designs. Related: Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom review You could probably, word for word, swap “God Eater” for “Scout” and “Aragami” for “Titan” and the plot would accurately describe Attack on Titan. Sound familiar? It should, as the setup is pretty much identical to several popular animes. The action kicks off in Friar fortress, with you joining the mysterious Blood God Eater squad, an elite team of God Eaters sent on particularly dangerous missions. God Arcs are multi-purpose living weapons that can morph between gun and melee modes, and they’re pretty much the only thing that can hurt Aragami. God Eaters are super-soldiers created and trained by the mysterious FENRIR organisation, and they wield giant weapons called God Arcs. It sees you take the role of a newly qualified elite God Eater in a post-apocalyptic Japan that’s been ravaged by giant monsters, known as Aragami. The story follows directly on from Resurrection, which comes bundled with the PS4 copy of Rage Burst, but the thread can easily be picked up without any knowledge of what’s happened before. God Eater 2 Rage Burst is one of the most frustratingly fun big-boss battle games currently available – if you have the patience to power through the first few hours.
So you may be tempted to ignore God Eater 2 Rage Burst, which at first glance looks like a repackaged repeat of the series’ Monster Hunter-esque hack-and-slash gameplay. God Eater has been a big deal in Japan for quite a while, but the franchise only made it to Western shores a few short months ago with the launch of Resurrection – a title that failed to make serious waves, despite being fairly fun.
