#GOD EATER RAGE BURST REVIEW SERIES#

The combat of God Eater 2: Rage Burst manages to feel both incredibly accessible and pretty stylish at the same time, allowing you to switch between melee and ranged attacks on the fly. It can feel like a bit of a grind, though fortunately the gameвЂ™s combat mechanics are enjoyable enough that the game doesnвЂ™t start to feel boring. Much like the вЂDynasty WarriorsвЂ™ games, there isnвЂ™t a lot of thought to be had on the battlefield itвЂ™s simply a case of killing enemies to succeed. In honesty, the constant partaking in missions could feel a little repetitive, especially since the objectives typically consist of you simply killing enemies over and over.

The story will progress in between missions too, with cutscenes and character interactions keeping the plot moving forward.

There are an absolute ton of missions to play through in the game, with a few trickier side-missions popping up for those who like an extra challenge or to grind their skills.

Gameplay plays out across a series of missions that you can take part in with either other players online or with AI teammates, with up to four people able to take part in a mission at a time. All the characters are likeable though, whilst your interactions with them are well written and will entertain you throughout. There are plenty of other characters youвЂ™ll come across throughout the game, with your typical mysterious, competitive and angsty stereotypes coming through. This is based on a Japanese anime what did you expect? ItвЂ™s all harmless and a bit of fun, but expect a few odd looks if you play the game around your family. Whilst some of the subject matter is a bit more serious, it finds plenty of time to be charming and even a little candid вЂ“ no less with the quirky female character Nana that parades around with barely anything covering her flesh. Whilst thereвЂ™s a real threat posed to the world in God Eater 2: Rage Burst, the game never tries to take itself too seriously. It actually goes into a lot more depth with the threat of the Aragami, the вЂRed RainвЂ™ and how youвЂ™re going to find a resolution to the crisis. ThatвЂ™s pretty much the gist of things, though IвЂ™m probably selling the story a little short.

YouвЂ™re part of the powerful вЂBloodвЂ™ unit that are sent out to investigate a deadly pandemic that has struck, known only as the вЂRed RainвЂ™. Fortunately, youвЂ™re part of a group named вЂFenirвЂ™ that arms its members with God Arcs and sends them on deadly missions to investigate and destroy the Aragami threat. Taking down the beasts is no easy feat in fact, they can only be hurt by powerful weapons known as the вЂGod ArcsвЂ™. God Eater 2: Rage Burst is set in a Japan that has been ravaged by hideous, powerful monsters known at the Aragami. ItвЂ™s a nice gesture and allows even complete newbies to the series (like myself) to see not only what the latest entry in the series brings, but also its origins too. IвЂ™ve always heard and seen nice things about the games though, with the most common compliment being the similarities they share with CapcomвЂ™s much loved вЂMonster HunterвЂ™ series.Д«andai Namco have decided to give Western gamers a chance to experience the series in all its glory, bringing not only God Eater 2: Rage Burst over to these shores but also including a remastered edition of the original game as an added bonus. I havenвЂ™t had too much experience with the вЂGod EaterвЂ™ franchise, though itвЂ™s probably no surprise seeing that the games arenвЂ™t necessarily synonymous with Western releases and have also spent most of their life on the often neglected Sony handheld consoles.
