The many similarities between both games means much of the recent review for the other title still applies, but God Eater 2: Rage Burst is an effective evolution for the series. Both games are great and the second introduces enough new aspects to distinguish itself, but playing both in short succession can lead to a burn out. It’s a strategy that has debatable effectiveness.
#GOD EATER RAGE BURST EPISODE 1 PS4#
God Eater 2: Rage Burst drops tomorrow in digital & physical formats on PS4 and digitally on PS Vita.The return of God Eater to North America and Europe hasn’t lacked for content, with Bandai Namco swiftly following up its release of God Eater Resurrection with God Eater 2: Rage Burst - in Europe’s case even packaging the two games together. While in Burst you gain increased movement speed, lower stamina consumption, shorter charge times for special attacks, and Oracle Point regeneration. Devour your enemies as much as possible to keep your Burst Gauge up.With some tinkering around, you can create lasers that rain from the skies or bullets that explode for tremendous amounts of damage upon hitting an Aragami. Use the Bullet Editor to create your own bullets.Always keep a good stock of healing items on hand.Blocking with a shield should only be used for attacks that cannot be avoided since blocking can drain both health and stamina. Dodge Aragami attacks by either sprinting or dashing out of harm’s way.This is called Advanced Guard and it can be paired with Tower Shields to negate its slow deployment times. Buster Blades allow God Eaters to instantly deploy their shields by blocking mid-swing.These deploy slowly but can block most, if not all, of the damage while blocking.
Tower Shields have the highest defense of the group and generally provide defense/support skills.Pick this type if you want a balance between offense and defense. Shields are the middle ground between Bucklers and Tower Shields.These deploy faster than the other two types but do not absorb as much damage while blocking. Bucklers have low defense but generally have support skills that help with offense.Deploying the shield to block an attack can mitigate damage even further. The defense attribute on a shield determines how much damage Aragami attacks deal.Don’t have a Buster Blade or Boost Hammer? Equip a gun God Arc with high Crush damage and use Blaze or Freezing bullets to pepper the Chi-You with attacks until it succumbs to the pressure. Crushing attack from a Buster Blade or Boost Hammer can speed up this process.
This armor can be broken off by repeatedly attacking its legs or wings.
