Gameplay

Players move an Eva unit across a wide map, triggering encounters that open a menu of action commands to attack or defend against Angels and other threats, with combat sequences rendered in CG that reviewers singled out as a highlight. Multiple pilots, including Shinji, Rei, and Asuka, become playable as the story unlocks them, and the game includes 24 optional Classified Information entries that expand on lore like the Seeds of Life, the Spears of Longinus, and the Angels. Outside of Shinji's central arc, most other scenarios diverge freely from the anime's canon.

Development

Alfa System researched the source material closely while building the game, including compiling a lengthy questionnaire and sitting down for an interview with series creator Hideaki Anno that ran more than ten hours, aiming to keep the game's take on the Eva universe consistent with his intent.
