A good expansion, but an expansion all the same. In many ways, God Eater 2 appears to be more of an expansion. I can’t speak to that myself but, if true, that’s a shame. From what I understand, the majority of the areas are rehashes of the first game. They’re also fairly small and the camera can cause some issues, especially in its default close-up setting. There are very few battle locations, in which the missions take place. Even the late-game palette swaps can surprise with hybrid enemies appearing on occasion. I was really impressed with the designs of the enemies. Going from hulking mech-gorillas to a mutated Magikarp, not to mention the ridiculous boss monsters. Get deep enough in, however, and you’ll start seeing some really interesting designs. These “Aragami” came in the typical “this colour means this element” palette swap. And then the Aragami Came….Īt first, the monster design seemed repetitive. That’s always a plus, whether you’ve created a man or woman. There’s a load of outfits to craft, giving your created character a more personalised feel. Attractive young people wield giant weapons that transform in to other giant weapons. In contrast to the simple fantasy setting of Monster Hunter, Shift’s “God Eater” is thoroughly Japanese animation in aesthetic. This is a PSP game brought to Vita and PS4.

Make no mistake though: despite its presence on Playstation 4, this game is portable by nature.

For a game that visually depicts a post-apocalyptic world being ravaged by monsters, God Eater 2 is surprisingly vibrant.
