![]() ![]() I ran into a few glitches during my time with the PS4 version of Attack on Titan, such as minor but noticeable framerate drops, the physics on titans bodies going haywire after hitting the ground, and at one point a titan’s face seemingly flew off and stretched to the fit the entire screen for a moment. I was only able to read that box maybe once or twice, as it is very hard to focus on the task at hand and read at the same time. While this probably won’t be a problem for most people, at times during missions characters are discussing what is going on with their words displayed in a large box that takes up a decent portion of the bottom right side of the screen. Characters are voiced by the same Japanese voice actors as the anime, meaning you’re going to have to read subtitles if you don’t understand Japanese. The story directly follows the anime and ends at the same place. Characters are all cel-shaded and look like 3D versions of their anime counterparts. The art style in Attack on Titan is decent as well. Imagine doing that about 1,000 times and you’ve just played the game without buying it! Combat plays out the same every time as well: zip in with your gear, lock-on to a titan, select which part of its body you want to attack, reel yourself in, attack. Even though you play as various characters from the series, they all control nearly identically aside from some small variances that aren’t enough to make a big difference. Players travel around the town killing various titans and doing side quests to get CPU helpers or equipment until the final titan spawns. ![]() Nearly every mission in Attack on Titan is exactly the same. While this game captures all that, the fighting of titans is so simple and repetitive that it becomes a real bore after just a few missions. Characters use their specialized gear to zip through the sky and then slice the back of titans’ necks to kill them-rinse, repeat. The actual killing of titans almost always plays out the same way. A majority of the anime has only one of two things happening: characters talking or having long drawn out introspectives, or killing titans. ![]() Attack on Titan is one of those franchises that sounds like it would be great as a video game but if you stop to think about it, that isn’t the case. ![]()
