Sharing a lot in common with the Monster Hunter series, you’ll need to sharpen those dodge’n’roll skills to slide through Aragami attacks and counter with punishing blows especially if you don’t fancy letting them escape into a tactical retreat, before healing up and charging in to destroy. The battle system is meaty and while rushing to the main target before mashing a few attacks is a viable strategy for the first few hours, it’ll take some time to get to grips with the deeper nuances of wielding a God Arc. Things kick off how they mean to go on, with a pumped up EDM tune joining the anime-style intro, hyping you into battle.Make no mistake this is less of a linear adventure and more a mixture of increasingly difficult skirmishes between yourself and a never ending stream of crazy monsters from lizards in helmets and Gorillas in space suits to bugs so big they’d turn any arachnophobe into a squealing mess. Which is exactly how we like our RPG’s, don't you? Simple, to the point and absolutely mental. Roughly translated that means you’ll be taking hold of a gigantic blade which can transform into a cannon and also eats the corpses of fallen enemies to better yourself later on. The only known weapon that can destroy the Aragami.
