Despite the game’s awfully talkative story - which involves new brands of both God Eaters and Aragami popping up across the world - these combat arenas remain very much the meat of the game. The introduction of side character Emil - a modern-day “knight” who takes the game’s new aesthetic to ridiculous extremes - has begun to almost make the whole shift in tone worth it.įor a bit, I was able to take Emil with me on missions, just like most of the game’s supporting cast. Rage Burst has a lot of that energy, but it’s picked up and moved to “Anime Europe.” That is, the land of puffy shirts, organ music, and church choirs acting as a backdrop to self-serious talk about chivalry, and ambition.Īs I whittle through the early hours of the game, though, I’m starting to recognize a bit of the old humor. The characters in the original God Eater converse with a natural, self-aware cadence I found endearing - even while the game shoehorned them into archetypes just a little harder than necessary. I became pretty infatuated with that entry in the series, and its austere, J-pop take on the post-apocalypse. I only know this setup thanks to dipping into God Eater: Resurrection - another recent remake of the first game for PlayStation 4 and Vita. Very little of this is explained at the start of Rage Burst. Their basic job is to keep the creatures’ numbers down, so that the less fortunate individuals living on the outskirts of shielded society don’t wind up being chomped on themselves. These gifted few can wield biomechanical weapons made from the Aragami themselves, allowing them to literally eat the monsters ravaging what’s left of the world. Said creatures have literally devoured most of the Earth, driving most of the planet’s former inhabitants underground, or into semi-safe arcologies to escape the ravenous beasts.Įnter the God Eaters.
GOD EATER 2 ARAGAMI FULL
The game is chock full of Aragami, the titular gods in need of eating. The emphasis here is more on “monsters” than hunting.
Rage Burst, like its predecessors God Eater: Burst, and God Eater: Resurrection, is a faster, simpler take on the wildly successful Monster Hunter franchise. While its lineage may sound confusing, the game’s premise is not.
