    The story is mostly just window dressing for a mission-based grind-‘em-up.

Nintendo fans, out ofFor anyone interested in the monster-hunting genre and is considering buying this game, ignore the negative scores. Nintendo fans, out of salt, have decided to bash this game. I have seen the Nintendo community encouraging members to give this game a bad review without even knowing a thing about this series. Truly pathetic and a disservice to the hard work that has gone into this game. The following top reasons:

    1) It wasn't released on any of their consoles.

    2) It is superior to any of the Monster Hunter titles thus far.

    3) is has been far more creative and original than anything MH, and while it doesn't have maybe the depth that MH has, there is plenty to keep users busy and formulate thousands of builds and setups.

    Look, I love any game under the monster-hunting genre, and as someone who has played pretty much everything out there, I can say this game is solid and easily 8+/10.

    Fantastic soundtrack too and beautiful cinematic anime scenes.

    Buy it, and don't listen to the man children fanbase Nintendo has.

This game (and its predecessors) is every bit as good, if not better, than the MH series. I love MH but am increasingly irritated by Capcom and Nintendo's refusal to publish it on a full blown console. Like most grown adults, the tiny controls of the 3DS cramp my hands with action games. The God Eater series is an adequate, if not superior replacement for those who want to play on a real controller instead of one seemingly designed for children. Full Review »

If you have played Freedom Wars, Toukiden or Monster Hunter this might be a game you like. I'll be honest, I dislike the graphics, it could easily have looked better but gameplay wise this game is great.

    The story and characters are ok. The only I really can't stand is the voices in English. I would have liked it if there was an option to play the game with Japanese voices.
