Set in a post-apocalyptic setting, it’s up to your special team of God Eaters to take down god-like monsters devastating the world. With an epic story, unique characters, and all new God Arcs and Aragami, the latest evolution in ACTION is here! Like its predecessor, the game is an action role-playing game with hack and slash gameplay. Players are equipped with God Arc weapons which can be transformed into guns. In the game, players are tasked to hunt and kill massive monsters known as Aragami. The player character is a God Eater who can absorb energy from monsters to unleash "burst moves", special attacks that deal a lot of damage to enemies. Companion characters, which are controlled by artificial intelligence, assist in combat. Players can activate the Engage System to share combat perks with them during combat. The game can be played cooperatively with four other players, while assault missions accommodate up to 8 players.
