Gameplay

Play unfolds across six rhythm based modes built around the films' scores, tasking players with hitting notes on beat to intercept Angels, punch through their AT Fields, and pull Eva units back from danger. Clearing linked sets of tracks plays out as a stylized retelling of the United Nations' battles against the Angels.

Story / Setting

Rather than a traditional narrative, the game restages key confrontations from Evangelion 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone and Evangelion 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance as musical stages, leaning on footage, character art and Akira Yamaoka's arranged scores from those two Rebuild films.

Development and Release

Grasshopper Manufacture developed the game under producer Goichi Suda, known for No More Heroes and Killer7, and Namco Bandai Games published it in Japan on September 29, 2011. Its Japanese title is literally 3nd Impact, a deliberate pun that reads aloud as Sound Impact, and it shipped in a standard edition alongside pricier bundles that added a soundtrack or branded merchandise.
