If you have no idea what Attack on Titan is, then go watch the series, watch it again (it’s that great) and then come back to enjoy this little game.
Attack on Titan hits PS3, PS4, PS Vita, Xbox One, and PC on August 30th.Attack on Titan Tribute Game is a title created to honor the wonderful manga series and bring its fans from around the world together to fight Titans. Now if we could just get Attack on Titan season 2, everything would be right with the world. You also have a grab move that is truly devastating, and can even take out a few small titans at once.Īll-in-all Attack on Titan really looks like the game that fans have waited so long for. As a titan you can blast through buildings, slamming your fists into smaller titans. Titan mode puts you in control of one of the giant beasts (avoiding spoilers here).
They truly capture the beautiful art from the series, and it all holds up very well on the PS4 version, which is what I was playing on at E3.įinally, if flying around, strategically taking out titans starts to get old, there’s another mode that lets you really run wild. The visuals are stunning as well, which you can check out in the trailer below.
As I played through the game I was awestruck with the small touches that added to the experience, such as having to locate fellow Scouts to gather additional gas or sword blades. This does add a bit to the realism though, but sometimes it feels more like the game is losing you, rather than you losing the game.īut those issues are a small price to pay for a truly authentic Attack on Titan experience. Also, there’s just a whole lot going on, and hitting the right buttons, at the right time can be a big challenge. The camera can become a problem, losing focus on your intended target, or just whipping around too quickly. However, there are still problems, though they are much less impactful than they likely could have been. You still have freedom of movement, but it is in a much more realistic fashion. It actually searches for nearby buildings, trees, or other tall objects, then latches onto them. Your 3D maneuvering equipment doesn’t just fire off screen and allow you to move wherever you want. Somehow Omega Force has made this work though, and it works not only surprisingly well, but in a way that is very faithful to the show. Players have to be able to maneuver in 3D space, while keeping track of massive, mobile enemies, and be able to target and attack specific parts on their body. The action of the series is so out there, that getting it to work in video game form is a very tall order. The idea of an Attack on titan game might seem crazy. Finally, they must strike at the right time to deal the final blow, and of course they’ll have to attack the titan’s neck if they want to fully take them down. Latching on, they will automatically move toward it, though they can use their boosters to gain extra speed, and extra damage.
They can then enter combat mode, selecting a major body part to attack.
Players will use their 3D maneuvering equipment to make their way through the city, toward the approaching titans.
