This was refreshing as it allows for an easier adaptation to a change in scenario without that frustration of “maybe I should have grabbed a different equipment set before heading out of the gate”.Ĭreating new weapons didn’t feel like an absolute grindfest from the very beginning, either. God Eater, on the other hand, has characters separately choosing both a Melee and Ranged weapon before selecting one of three different shield types for defensive measures before setting out into the fields. Typically with other ‘Monster Hunter-like’ games characters are offered the choice of a single weapon and then go about picking up the pieces in order to build and customize their armour sets. Mechanically God Eater does offer a different experience from the others in the genre.

Toukiden did have some narrative but it was more of a background. What separates God Eater from the other two isn’t the mechanic approach to the experience, but the narrative one. Your task is to venture outside of the protective environments to hunt down large beasts, either solo or with other heroes, much like how you do in the Monster Hunter and Toukiden series. God Eater 2: Rage Burst puts you, the player, into the role of a self-created protagonist that is one of several newer members to the organisation known as Fenrir.
