404 GAME RE:SET is a mobile game published by the legendary, SEGA. In fact, Yoko Taro, the man behind NieR and Drakengard, is a writer and creative director for the game. The world as you know it is now under the control of SEGA – canonically, a dangerous corporation. You’ll come across anthropomorphic versions of SEGA titles named Casts! You’re part of The Resistance, a group of survivors who vowed to battle against these Casts. Can you defeat SEGA?

You can learn more about it on the official 404 GAME RE:SET website. We also recommend checking out our 404 GAME RE:SET codes guide, Merge Girls tier list, and our Honkai Star Rail codes guide.

404 GAME RE:SET Tier List

Let’s rank all of the characters from S tier to D tier!

S Tier

God tier characters. Try and reroll for one at the beginning as they will power you through the game, then create a party out of them at endgame.

• Hang-on
• Kiki Kaikai
• Xevious

A Tier

Solid characters that are great for filling gaps in your party when you don’t have enough S tiers.

• Afterburner
• Crazy Taxi
• Fantasy Zone
• Fighting Vipers
• Golden Ax
• Pengo
• Virtua Fighter

B Tier

These characters start strong but fade later on. Don’t be ashamed to use them, but do swap them out as you unlock S and A tiers.

• Outrun
• The House of the Dead
• Virtua Racing

C Tier

In certain game modes, or at the beginning, characters in this tier can excel. Mostly, they’re useless though.

• Check back soon!

D Tier

Never use D tiers unless you can’t avoid it. They’re awful at all game modes, and at all phases of the game.

How Did We Select Our 404 GAME RE:SET Tier List?

We used a number of different sources when selecting our 404 GAME RE:SET tier list, but, primarily, we judge based on our personal experience with the game. As a result, it is bound to be quite a subjective list, but there’s no getting around that.

To determine the rankings, we both experiment with the characters in the game (if unlocked), as well as theory-craft based on skill descriptions and raw statistics. That’s why you’ll see our tier list change so much when a game first launches, as we’re in the testing phase.

It’s also worth noting that we do scour communities, like Reddit, for community feedback. If the general consensus is that a specific character is strong or weak, we will reflect that in our tier list. That way, it’s got a certain degree of objectivity.

We’ll wrap this section up by reminding you that tier lists are subjective by nature. Your experience may vary completely to ours, so take it with a pinch of salt.

When Do We Update Our 404 GAME RE:SET Tier List?

You can expect to see an update to our 404 GAME RE:SET tier list whenever a new character is introduced. It might take us a while to test the character for ourselves though, so expect a brief delay.

We also update the list whenever a big balance patch hits, as this will throw the meta out the window. Again, there may be a brief delay as we experiment with the changes and update our rankings.
