Your gear runs on a consumable gas that drops upon use and the sharpness of sword similarly lessens unless replenished. The mechanics of movement are very easy to understand, and after a brief training mission and a few skirmishes it won’t be too long until you’re flying gracefully through the air and dispatching Titans like it’s second nature. What this basically means is that fans of any Spider-Man game post Spider-Man 2 are in for a treat. The hook, no pun intended, of Attack on Titan is the ODM, or Omni-Dimensional Movement gear, a device strapped to the user the launches two grappling hooks that allows fast horizontal as well as vertical movement and a way to strike at the nape of a Titan’s neck, which is the only way to eliminate them permanently. Outside of the urban environments, there’s also forests and flat plains that change things up significantly as your locomotion is reduced to horse back. In small spaces the camera at times has a lot of difficulty tracking your character against your gargantuan foes, but these instances don’t kill the experience nor cause that much frustration. The missions take place within enclosed arenas, but unlike Humanity in Chains, there’s plenty of room to maneuver whether you’re on the offensive or just simply or just majestically swinging around.
The developer behind this game, Omega Force, is primarily known for the Dynasty Warriors franchise , or the more recent Hyrule Warriors, where you face against hundreds of enemies on-screen at once an while there can be quite a few Titans surrounding you at any given time, thankfully the numbers don’t reach those of the games Omega Force is traditionally associated with. Thankfully all useful tips come up via in-game tutorials that stop the action and can be recalled anytime in the pause menu. The vocal track is strictly Japanese which isn’t an issue unless you’re really adverse to reading, but it does pose somewhat of an issue when characters start speaking to one another during missions and it’s way to difficult to focus on playing the game and reading at the same time. Story is told via mixture of in-game and FMV cut-scenes that capture the look and feel of the source material superbly, from the way the characters look and emote to the early-eastern inspired architecture and giant tree forest. Even if you don’t know who Eren, Mikasa, Levi or the various abnormal Titans are, you should have no difficulty understanding the plot through the main seven-to-eight hour or so campaign.

A small group of people affected by the tragic return of the Titans dedicate themselves to ending the threat of the creatures and fight for the day when humanity can roam the world free of the prison of their own making.Īttack on Titan’s scenario covers the first major arc of the manga that was also the focus of the first season of the anime spin-off as well. That is until one day a Titan unlike any other, known as the Colossal Titan, appears and destroys the outer wall of the new colony, once again pushing the human race to an inevitable demise. To stave off demise, three giant walls are erected, creating the last safe colony for the population free from their would be destroyers. In the world of Attack on Titan, humanity is pushed to the brink of extinction after the sudden appearance of the human devouring Titans. Now it’s Koei Tecmo and developer Omega Force’s turn to take a stab at the nape of the franchise for its first console outing, simply titled Attack on Titan, a game that can get repetitive in extended sittings but is nonetheless a terrific action game for both fans and non-fans alike.
The concept was tried once already in the best forgotten Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains, exclusive to the 3DS. Featuring a cast of characters strapped to a piece of equipment that basically emulates the web-slinging powers of Spider-Man pitted against giant, genderless beasts who exist who exist only to eat humans, the “Titan” in Attack on Titan, that sentence alone probably already has you at the very least curious.
Even for those not intimately familiar with the Attack on Titan property, you can see at a glance how much fun a video game would be set in that universe.
