Gods Eater Burst begins in the year 2071, where Earth has become a battleground. There are no more armies or governments, only the remnants of a collapsing world. Amid this chaos, Fenrir emerged—the last line of defense for humanity and its only hope. Their weapons were not conventional, as bullets had become useless and missiles ineffective. Instead, they developed a weapon known as the God Arc, the only tool capable of tearing through and devouring the Aragami.

However, wielding this weapon was not for just anyone. The God Arc was not merely metal but a living entity that required bodies capable of merging with it—strong warriors prepared to fight to the death. These warriors were the Gods Eaters, an elite force dedicated to stopping the monstrous invasion. As a player, you join Fenrir as a new recruit in a battle where there are no real winners. But this war is not just against giant creatures; it is also against the secrets hidden within the organization itself and the harsh truths awaiting those who uncover them.

Do not expect easy battles, nor assume that simply possessing a God Arc makes you the strongest. Every fight is a true struggle for survival. The Aragami are not just massive beasts; they are intelligent entities that adapt to your fighting style, observe your movements, and attack from unexpected angles. The game features a single-player mission-based mode with over a hundred missions. Each mission has a primary objective—to eliminate designated Aragami in a specific area—while ensuring completion within a limited time frame.

You earn additional rewards based on your efficiency and speed in completing missions. You have the ability to dash, sprint, and jump, and you can enter Burst Mode by devouring Aragami during battle. This grants increased speed, strength, and energy regeneration for a limited time. Your journey begins by creating your own character, from appearance to voice, allowing you to experience the adventure in your own style. Combat is not just about random attacks but rather a complex system that combines direct strikes with strategic maneuvers. The weapon you wield is not just a tool but a living entity that changes according to your needs—it can take the form of a massive sword, a powerful firearm, or even transform into a predatory mouth that devours enemies in an instant.

Cooperation is key. The game does not rely solely on individual combat but also provides you with companions from the elite Gods Eaters, each with their own unique fighting style and abilities. Some specialize in speed, others in raw strength, while some focus on tactical support. As you progress, you can upgrade your weapons, choose new skills, and even customize combat strategies to target specific Aragami weaknesses. Each Aragami has distinct vulnerabilities that must be exploited wisely.

Players do not face these challenges alone, as the game supports cooperative multiplayer mode with up to three other players. This makes every battle more strategic and engaging—either you work together to take down the monstrous creatures, or you fall one by one, as the Aragami will not give you a second chance.

If you have played the original God Eater, you will notice that this game is not just a re-release but a major leap in experience. The story has been expanded with new chapters that unveil deeper secrets behind Fenrir and the origins of the Aragami. Enhancements go beyond just the storyline—gameplay mechanics have also been refined. Weapon handling is now smoother, and new transformations for the God Arc provide players with greater combat options.

Additionally, the AI for allies has been significantly improved. They are no longer just lifeless followers but now have unique fighting styles that interact with and complement your strategies. Even enemy design has seen significant advancements. The Aragami are now more ferocious and unpredictable, introducing attack patterns that make each battle feel like a deadly game of chess where strategy is just as crucial as combat skills.
