God Eater 3 Overview
According to Bandai Namco, the official game overview is,
“All of sudden, unknown life forms called “Oracle cells” begin their uncontrolled consumption of all life on Earth. Their ravenous appetite “devour” and remarkable adaptability earn them first dread, then awe, and finally the name “Aragami”. In the face of an enemy completely immune to conventional weapons, urban civilization collapses, and each day humanity is driven further and further toward extinction.
One single ray of hope remains for humanity. Following the development of “God Arcs”—living weapons which incorporate Oracle cells—their wielders, the “God Eaters,” appear. In a world ravaged by mad gods, these “God Eaters” fight a desperate war…
Things to look forward too…
Create your character, and fight for the survival of human-kind in GOD EATER 3. Select your weapon from a wide range of God Arcs and face brand new Aragamis in dynamic high-speed battles. Explore devastated areas you have never seen in the previous GOD EATER games.”

New Features
- Dive
- Burst Arts
- Burst Plug-ins – These can be set on melee weapons, guns, and armor to decide on power-up effects during Burst. There is the “Preemptive Attack” that increases attack power, the “High Torque” that reduces stamina consumption, and “Wall” that reduces damage taken.
- Skill Install – You’ll receive “Outlived God Arcs” as rewards from missions that can be installed as a God Arc skill. These skills increases your maximum HP, slash attacks, or a speed buff when carrying items. There are some that increase based on level, including ones with effects that increase after hitting level 10. This is the counterpart of the “Abandoned God Arcs” in God Eater Resurrection and God Eater 2 Rage Burst.
- Acceleration Trigger – Accel Trigger is a new passive skill. It drastically strengthens a player when certain combat conditions are met, reminiscent of the Pledges from God Eater 2: Rage Burst. Accel Triggers can be triggered indefinitely. Players must strive to achieve these conditions in order to have an advantage when fighting strong Aragami.
- Engage – The Engage system procs whenever you and another player stay close to each other. This grants them buffs. An “Engage Percentage” gauge rises up whenever you fight together with a teammate within a certain range. Once the gauge is full, you can trigger an “Engage Effect.” All buffs will be shared amongst Engaged players, including Accel Triggers.
- Biting-Edge -A new form of a close-range type God Arc will be introduced in God Eater 3—the Biting Edge. This new God Arc has two forms, Dual Wielding and Mow-Down.
- Dual Wielding allows the AGE to strike with quick slashes and thrusts. The handles of this form connect to transform into the other form of the God Arc, Mow-Down.
- Mow-Down halts the stamina regeneration of the player. Even though this sounds like a very crippling downside, players can take advantage of wide-range attacks. Strike and jump attacks also hit harder. Players should try to balance out switching between these two forms.
- Raygun – Ray Guns are the new long-range God Arc mode introduced in God Eater 3. These guns fire a “radiation shot” which grows stronger the more it gets irradiated. Its power resets after firing a shot, so knowing openings and taking advantage of them is a must in order to master this mode.
- Heavy Moon – In the Heavy Moon’s normal form, the protagonist uses the curved edge of the blade to do wide slashes that also have the drawback of having long motions. By doing a certain button combination or certain combos, the crescent moon will extend and turn into a giant battleaxe with high raw power.
