If anything, it seems to tread the same basic water as the first entry, and contains numerous familiar elements. Or at least the original campaign included with GE2, as I lacked the time to fully explore the additional Rage Burst campaign. This was improved somewhat in the additional story campaigns that followed the original storyline, but apparently the focus and narrative discipline the writers had to practice there did not carry over to GE2.
Making it difficult for me to adequately summarize the story beyond: people go around and do stuff and maybe have emotions about it sometimes.
It was a storythat frequently threw new plot points and subplots up in the air, often letting them dangle there for hours without any meaningful progress, before slowly unravelling them, or rapidly ending them before moving on. That is the set up, but as for the actual plot, GER was never particularly good at telling a focused and concise story. For the first few hours it lulls the player into thinking the game is going to tell a parallel story of sorts, only to rather quickly converge back with the Far East branch of the first installment, and many of the characters featured there. Set three years after the first installment, part 2 begins by seemingly adopting another perspective on the conflict, centering around what is basically a subsidiary of the world controlling military organization Fenrir, and the unique members of the team, known as Blood. Who are mostly a group of attractive young adults and teens with strange fashion senses who wield gigantic morphing biological weapons known as God Arcs.
God Eater is set in a post-apocalyptic world where most of human society was destroyed by beings known as Aragami, monsters who are supposedly composed of a group of free thinking cells that can only be defeated by God Eaters. This means that many of the mechanics of GE2 appeared in GER, and the notable improvements are slim as such.īefore getting too deeply into the comparison game that I gravitate towards when reviewing sequels, I should probably explain the game in more detail. Despite being a sequel that came out a few months after GER in the west, GE2 was actually released several months before GER in Japan. It was the kind of game that could very much benefit from a fully fledged sequel that reworks things and tries to maximize the core appeal, but that is not the case with God Eater 2: Rage Burst. Gamers can use their God Arc weapons to hack, slash, and shoot, or unleash new Blood Arts, Blood Bullets, and Blood Rage attacks, while multiplayer fans can join three friends for online co-op monster slaying.It’s been nearly a year since I reviewed God Eater Resurrection, an action oriented hunting game that was very promising, but struggled when faced with irksome minutia and over complicated mechanics. As a member of special unit of the Fenrir Organization, players must investigate the mysterious rain, master a number of different weapons, and kill hundreds of mutant beasts. A strange red rain has sparked a horrific illness called the Black Plague.
Gamers create a custom warrior and join friends for real-time battles against giant monsters in God Eater 2: Rage Burst.
