You can also earn tickets which allow you to bypass a lot of the challenge and monotony that goes into finding materials by just letting you purchase many of the important items. Players can customize their weapons with a range of stat bonuses and other benefits while also earning AP (ability points) by taking part in combat that can unlock new skills and abilities.
By using your God Arc to devour a fallen enemy, materials can be gathered and used to craft new equipment and upgrade existing armament. It's altogether presented in a far more user-friendly design than Monster Hunter. The controls remain the same - you can attack, block, jump, guard, and use different skills on the Aragami. As a result, I will not spend time discussing these mechanics as it would be redundant. However, things like partner skills, after-battle bonuses, and relationship building are all featured once again in Rage Burst. It's been a long time since I reviewed Gods Eater Burst, so apologies if some of them wasn't unique to these new editions. I feel it's important to note just how many systems are shared between God Eater Resurrection and God Eater 2: Rage Burst. You are not alone as you can bring up to three additional teammates to aid your created avatar in combat. You are given a series of tasks to accomplish that range in difficulty, with more challenging assignments becoming available as the story goes on. The flow of gameplay also remains the same, playing out in a mission-based format. These instruments are the only things capable of taking down the mighty god-likeĀ Aragami beings (hence the name) that have threatened mankind's existence. You are a newly recruited member of the Blood faction of God Eaters and just so happen to be someone capable of wielding the imposing God Arc weapons. The story plays out in an almost identical pattern to the original.
But does the sequel justify its full price tag? In my review, I said Resurrection held plenty of content for the low financial entry it commands. In a single season, Bandai Namco has seen fit to release both God Eater Resurrection and God Eater 2: Rage Burst on the Western shores. While fans in the West received the superior version of the original release with Gods Eater Burst, they were left grasping for air when every form of God Eater 2 came and went in Japan years ago. It started as a game for the PlayStation Portable, received an enhanced release (this time ported to the PlayStation Vita), before finally making its way to the console.
God Eater 2 traveled a similar trajectory that its prequel followed.
