The backdrops of desolate cities, fallen skyscrapers, and the imposing visages of otherworldly Aragami do little to dampen the hopes of the spry early twenty-somethings who make up your party.ДЄnime-styled cutscenes are pleasant breaks in between sorties, and the steady stream of new characters help add diversity to your potential squad. The intricate, often vibrant youth-centric outfits serve as a reminder that Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts veteran Tetsuya Nomura does not have a monopoly on gratuitous zippers. The unabashed nature of its teen-targeted presentation is the crux of Rage BurstвЂ™s charm. DonвЂ™t mind the commander whoвЂ™s dressed like a recent widow. ItвЂ™s easy to be motivated by your squadвЂ™s collective gung-ho attitude and the gameвЂ™s bombastic choral soundtrack, which features the kind of compositions normally saved for final boss fights. The introductory music-video cinematic sets expectations by showing off the agentsвЂ™ fiery, demon-killing intensity while wielding God Arcs, transformable weapons often larger than a typical human. God Eater has always been about surviving the end of the world while looking good in the process. Set three years after the post-apocalyptic events of God Eater: Resurrection, Rage Burst finds the remnants of humanity on a planet still overrun with godlike beasts known as Aragami. Much like the best of Monster Hunter, Rage Burst reaffirms that an online action RPG can rely on a single objective type, as long as that objective is to triumph over hostile creatures. It makes up for its lack of difficulty and recycled maps with a robust combat system and a wealth of loot to sort through and manage in between matches. Yet not all those experiences deliver the immediacy of prey hunting with cooperative play quite like God Eater 2: Rage Burst.

These days, it's easy to find games that let you exterminate fantastic beasts with giant blades and panache.
