![]() There’s a nice selection of gear, with plenty of different weapon types with accompanying differences in how they handle, including two new melee styles and a new laser gun type, all of which are highly enjoyable to use. or by devouring them from fallen enemies. Materials are attained in a multitude of ways, such as mission rewards - more given for hitting certain achievements such as finishing within five minutes, not needing to be revived, etc. DEFINE ARAGAMI UPGRADEThe game flow will be highly familiar to fans of the sub-genre as players go through various ranks of missions, including numerous optional ones used primarily to help gain additional materials to craft and upgrade gear. Phym acts as a great catalyst for many of the game’s emotional and heartwarming moments and almost single-handedly keeps the story from becoming entirely forgettable. She immediately attaches herself to the player, following him or her around and calling them Daddy or Mommy, and quickly forms strong bonds with all of the other characters. Most worthy of note is Phym, who is a delight despite effectively being a copy of Shio. Each of the fellow God Eaters, who are notably less in number than in previous games in the series, and a few of the other NPCs in the Chrysanthemum Ash Crawler get interesting and emotional, but brief personal story arcs. ![]() Where God Eater 3’s narrative deserves credit is in the personal stories of the player’s allies. The overall plot, which involves a humanoid Aragami named Phym who basically takes on the same role that Shio had in the very first game, does little if anything to expand on the setting or provide any satisfactory answers to any of the questions it brings up, while neither Gleipnir nor another faction that appears in the game do much to justify their goals or methods. All of the overall plot aspects will be highly familiar to anyone with much interest in JRPGs or anime, as numerous tropes come up and are apparent from a mile away. After earning what amounts to as much freedom as one may be able to have in this world, the AGEs team up with the owner of another port and strike a deal to work with them. Players start out as an Adaptive God Eater, a new type able to fight against the Ashborn Aragami that have emerged with the Ashlands, who is indentured to their home port along with a few allies. Phym is the best singular thing about the game. The main difference in setting is that now God Eaters, soldiers who can fight back against the Aragami using large weapons called God Arcs, travel around on mobile bases called Ash Crawlers between the remaining safe heavens known as Ports. It has been replaced by Gleipnir, though there’s not much new here as it ostensibly is attempting to do the same thing. Fenrir - the organisation fighting against monstrous beings called Aragami that have destroyed human civilisation and taken over the planet - is no more after a second apocalyptic event that has caused even more dangerous environments called Ashlands to appear and expand across the globe. God Eater 3 effectively throws away most of the events of the previous titles, taking place some years after and moving events to an unspecified part of northern Europe. ![]() While God Eater 3 retains much of what made the previous entries enjoyable, it neglects to advance them. DEFINE ARAGAMI SERIESHowever, while Capcom took the opportunity of not being burdened by the restrictions of handhelds to produce Monster Hunter: World last year, Bandai Namco’s corresponding effort comes off as a comparatively disappointing by-the-numbers follow-up that neither inspires fans or those coming into the series for the first time. With the 2016 releases of God Eater Resurrection and God Eater 2: Rage Burst, Bandai Namco firmly established the series as the biggest competitor to Capcom’s Monster Hunter. ![]()
