God Eater 2

God Eater 2 (ゴッドイーター2, Goddo Ītā 2) is a video game developed by Shift and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment on November 14, 2013, in Japan for PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable. It is a sequel to God Eater. It features a new setting, as well as new protagonists, new monsters, and new weapons. An expansion titled God Eater 2: Rage Burst was released in Japan on the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4. It was released in Western territories in summer 2016 with North American and European divisions of Bandai Namco Entertainment publishing the game on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Microsoft Windows.

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.

The Blood Arts, one of the new additions in the game, are "attack add-on" that augment normal attacks of all manner into stronger attacks, thus either unlocking new Blood Arts or converting existing ones into much stronger variants. Raising a Blood Art's proficiency requires completing missions. Finishing a mission with a higher rank gives more experience points to the currently equipped Blood Art and other Blood Arts of the same variant.

Players can interact with various characters, who may invite them to optional side missions. Completing these give players materials, items, or even additional Blood Arts.

Unlocked through Character Episodes, Link Support Devices allow players to gain status effects in battle, such as 10% additional attack power from two to five minutes into the mission. There's a limit of 100 points that can be used to equip them, with each Link Device consuming anywhere from 10 to 60 points.

The game takes place 3 years after God Eater. A new pandemic caused by "Red Rain" has struck the Far East Branch. Members of Special Forces "Blood", an affiliate of Fenrir who reside in a mobile base, known as "Friar", are sent to investigate.

The unnamed protagonist and Nana Kazuki are the newest God Eaters who have been found compatible with the 'P-66 Bias-Factor' and selected to join Blood, founded by Dr. Rachel Cladius and led by captain Julius Visconti. The protagonist meets Romeo Leoni, Julius's friend who is also a Blood member; Dr. Leah Cladius, Rachel's older sister; Director Gregory de Gremslow, the base's Supreme Commander; and Yuno Ashihara, a talented singer. The Blood group is later joined by two more P-66 God Eaters: Ciel Alençon, a master tactician from the same orphanage as Julius, and Gilbert "Gil" McLane, who is nicknamed "Fragging Gil" since his mentor Kate Lawry was K.I.A. five years ago. The Blood members lend aid to Fenrir's Far East Branch and work together with 'Cradle', a mobile emergency response and deployment station created after the incident at Aegis island. Each Blood member awakens their "Blood Power" through personal trials.

After a mission, Gil reproves Romeo for his lackadaisical approach to combat. Romeo loses his temper, revealing he feels inadequate since his Blood Power has yet to awaken, and runs away. An old couple shelter him during a red rain storm. After the storm Aragami attack the village. Romeo calls his Blood group, defeats them, and apologizes for his recklessness. The incident awakens his Blood Power.
