Gameplay
In comparison to Gods Eater Burst, there are new features and additions such as the four new weapons, the Boost Hammer, Charge Spear, the Variant Scythe and the Shotgun. The Boost Hammer is a hammer fitted with a rocket booster. The Charge Spear is a large spear that can be “charged” to form a sharpened organic blade. The Variant Scythe is a large scythe that can extend for a long range. The Shotgun is a large cannon that sprays bullets, allowing increased damage the closer the player is to the opponent. Most of the existing weapons have additional features and skills, such as the Short Blade’s “Rising Edge” upward slash that sends the character into mid-air and can continue to an aerial combo, and the Long Blade’s “Zero Stance” skill that can cancel attack animations, thus allowing longer combos or cancel an attack to block or dodge attacks.
