The gameplay is similar to [[Capcom]]'s ''[[Monster Hunter]]'' series in that it revolves around teams of up to four slaying gigantic monsters and using the loot found to create new weapons, but it carries the distinction of having an actual plot, being much faster, and having several gameplay differences.

Set in [[After the End|a post-apocalyptic world]] where monsters known as Aragami have destroyed nearly everything and [[Crapsack World|pushed humanity to the brink of extinction]], the player becomes a Gods Eater for the Fenrir Corporation, one who hunts Aragami using the God Arc, the only weapon proven to be effective against them. Along with your fellow Gods Eaters, you fight to survive and perhaps in time, learn of the true nature of the threat the planet faces.

 

 

Character sheet under construction [[Gods Eater Burst/Characters|here]].

* [[After the End]]: The game starts out after the Aragami have [[Extreme Omnivore|eaten]] most of the planet.

* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: While outfits aren't given out as actual quest rewards, new ones can be bought/crafted using materials found on missions.

** On the matter of Burst Mode, all God Arcs have a Devour move, though those that plan to get gutsy can also use it to trigger [[Super Mode|Burst Mode]] as well

* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Karel Schneider's preferred modus operandi is to sneak up on Aragami and poison them.

* [[Cowardly Boss]]: Every Boss. If the map allows it they will run.

** Even if the spot they run to is only two yards away, taking them out of [[Turns Red|rage]] without you having to run so much would be a pain in the butt.

* [[Crapsack World]]: Humanity has been pushed to near-extinction by the Aragami, and the one organization capable of fighting them may not be telling the entire truth of the matter. However, people are still ''mostly'' good on an individual basis.

** {{spoiler|Much later on in the game, during the new Burst story line, your [[Silent Protagonist]] speaks to Lindow, [[Dual Wield|DualWields]] his/her God Arc ''and'' Lindow's, then proceeds to ''rip the final boss's mouth open.'' It's as awesome as it sounds.}}

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: The game has four people at the most- although they have big-ass swords- kicking the tuchus of monsters at least the size of a large hill. On a daily basis.

** The Kongoa is similar to both the Congalala and Blagonga from the same franchise, even sharing their shockwave bodyslam move.

* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: The Aragami have eaten much of what used to exist on Earth. Including rather large chunks of the ''buildings''.

* [[Fantastic Ghetto]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|The Outer Ghetto]].

* [[Fan Nickname]]: The Chi-you is lovingly called "Birdman" by many God Eaters.

* [[Friendly Fire Index|Friendly Fire]]: [[The Medic|Kanon Daiba]]. ''Constantly''. It's so bad her teammates jump out of her gun's trajectory—even when she tries to use [[Healing Shiv|Recovery bullets]] on them.

* [[Follow the Leader]]: This game copied the [[Monster Hunter]] hunting formula and 4 people party size. The speed the of hunts, NPCs, weapons of choice, and monsters themselves are VERY different, not to mention having an ''actual'' plot.

* [[Gainaxing]]: Disturbingly enough, it's not found in the humans, but in several of the Aragami. Both the Zygote and Sariel species of Aragami tend to "bounce" when they are knocked out of the air. It's not very noticable, but it's there. For a more noticable example, see [[Gag Boobs]].

* [[Gameplay and Story Integration]]: In Kanon's database profile as well as a few conversations with her, it's noted that she's notorious for friendly fire. Much to the consternation of those who wish to use a medic when Sakuya isn't around, this is ''not'' just character fluff. Her AI is programmed to shoot even when you're in her line of fire.

* [[Healing Shiv]]: You can create healing bullets to shoot your friends or NPC allies with.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|Happens to the protagonist when s/he discovers that the Hannibal is actually Lindow transformed into an Aragami.}}

** [[Naruto|Sakura]] just had a [[Freak-Out]] and is hospitalized due to her mental health, while [[Naruto|Sasuke]] is, [[Typecasting|yet again,]] an [[Ineffectual Loner]]. [[Defrosting Ice Queen|He gets better this time, though.]]

** In his more serious moments, you'd expect Kota to start [[Code Geass|magically ordering people to commit suicide.]]

* [[Spoiler Opening]]: As this game is a port of ''Burst'', they would naturally use the ''Burst'' opening. For many of the western gamers who start off with the initial English release, this leads to problems, especially once they play enough of the game to experience key events and get a grasp of what's going on.

* [[Underground Monkey]]: 49 different Aragami - 14 basic models.

* [[Walking Tank]]: The Quadriga takes the form of a tank, complete with treads going up its four legs (that it never uses).

* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: The Ouroboros and Arda Nova type Aragami will use these often. And so can you when you devour them.
