The control schematic is very similar and the play style is also quite similar in the sense there are always numerous enemies and allies on the field, typically with a singular objective but with many side missions available to complete for a higher rank upon completion, the animation is smooth and fluid which allows for veteran players of the style to easily pick up the controller and feel right at home and the schematics are laid out in a very user friendly way so that even someone who hasn’t played the style of gameplay before can learn quite quickly and without too much hassle. The game instantly feels familiar to anyone that has ever played Koei’s games previously, most notably the Dynasty Warrior series. The story follows him, and all the friends he makes and loses along his journey to eradicate all the titans so that humanity can reclaim the land it once flourished in. Titans of all sizes poured in an wreaked havoc in the town at Shiganshima, located just behind wall Maria, among the casualties was Eren’s mother, upon her death Eren vows to eliminate all titans in existence and thereby joins the 104th Trainee Squad and then subsequently after his first transformation into a titan, he transfers into the Scout Legion. Giant humanoids who appeared 100 year prior and only consume human flesh, the humans, now living behind giant walls too tall for what was thought to be all titans, until a fateful day when a titan known only as the colossal titan, standing a massive 60 meters tall, just barely enough to be seen over the top of the wall, appeared and destroyed a portion of Wall Maria, the first of three walls that protected their city. Eren our main character is a very curious child and together with his best friends, Mikasa the wise, cool headed adopted sister and Armin the shy, scared tag along, wish to see the outside world, of which is plagued by a scourge that preys upon humans, Titans. It’s fun to work with other people to take down objectives and race each other to get the most titan subjugations, plus playing with others helped me to clear some of those survey missions faster.Wings of Freedom, the symbol of the fierce Scout Legion, the perfect subtitle to the video game rendition to a highly regarded and now well-known animated series, the story follows the events of the first season of the anime, and it follows it quite well I must admit. On the plus side, you can get through some of those survey missions with friends in multiplayer, and the progress and items you earn in multiplayer carry over to your campaign. It’s still fun to take out titans with your character of choice, but this section definitely needed some of those survey missions cut. Pair that with the slow reveal of information from the story battles and the epilogue just moves too slowly. It feels like Omega Force tried to pepper the character requests and their respective scenes to break up the monotony of the padded-out survey missions, but they’re not frequent enough to jolt me out of the tedium. A lot of the missions themselves are short, but replaying a bunch of maps for hours and not receiving much story content gets stale quickly. On average it took me about an hour to get through enough survey missions before unlocking the next story mission. They make sense contextually - of course you’d want to scout out and eliminate threats in an area before moving on - but they go on for far too long. The few regular story missions in the epilogue are broken up by long, boring stretches of repetitive survey missions, which are essentially missions on old maps to eliminate titans or save a few settlers. “Unfortunately, the epilogue doesn’t flow too well. I found a lot of the cutscenes to be a nice refresher for some events I forgot. That’s not too bad for the campaign, though: the focus isn’t on Attack on Titan’s politics, but on decimating titans. The roughly 15-hour campaign hits all the essential plot events as Eren and his crew join the military and seek revenge against the titans for destroying their families, homes, and lives, but you’ll miss a lot of the more nuanced details and political scenes. If you’ve never experienced Attack on Titan, this isn’t the worst way to do it - that would be Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains - but of course it’s not as good as manga either. While it does a great job of capturing the brutal essence and fast action of the show, it has mixed results presenting the manga’s content and its own slog of an original ending in an interesting way. Developer Omega Force’s third-person action game interpretation of the franchise goes through the plot of the anime and takes the first stab at adapting a bit of the manga that the anime has yet to cover. Attack on Titan is a peculiar beast, and I’m not just thinking about the disturbingly naked giants that prance around and try to bite your head off.
