God Eater 3 on Nintendo Switch: Strategize or button mash your way to victory

Here's a blast from the past:



God Eater 3 on Nintendo Switch. The game itself is already a port, having been previously released on older platforms prior to its debut on the Nintendo console. As I was dusting off my drafts for the blog, I saw this at the very bottom of the pile (and it's a large pile!).

Drawing from my hazy memory of the game, God Eater 3 focuses on a group of humans who had been altered to fight monsters. The protagonist and his friends join Hilda in her traveling ship, finishing various missions. They meet Phym and other characters and use the power of friendship in the climax of the story for a happy ending.

There's nothing wrong with the story -- albeit, the characters don't grow too much from their stereotypical templates. The shine of the game comes from the combat and arsenal of weapons and techniques. The characters are plunged into arena-type maps where they hunt down enemies, small and large. Unfortunately, the monster variety left me bored in long plays.

The difficulty doesn't ramp up, although getting high grades and the last boss got me stumped sometimes. Overall, the game is easily recommendable for players looking for short bursts of fun.
