Of course, it's not that the Titans don't fight back, either - and that's what makes taking them down feel so satisfying. The faster you're going, and the better you line your attack up, the more damage you'll do, with most limbs being easily removable in a single move, if you know what you're doing. Lifting you up into the air, you can use the left stick to swing around your opponent, and try and get the best angle, before either letting go of the stick, or pressing X to dash in, before striking with triangle just as you hit the Titan. The way it works is that you can target a specific limb using the right analogue stick, and then press triangle to fire your ODM's grappling hooks into it. Instead, you'll need to work in a much more strategic manner, attacking limbs, and wearing the beast down, before going in for the kill - a slice across the back of the neck - something which seems to be the Titan's equivalent of the Death Star's exhaust port.Ī far cry from endless waves of faceless enemies you just have to hack through, taking down Titans genuinely feels fun - and can often present a real challenge too. With Titans being such immensely massive beings - and with humans comparatively being like annoying gnats to them - you can't just wander in on foot, hack at its big toe, and expect topple your foe. When a Titan comes into range, you'll be prompted to lock on to it with R1, which will bring up a number of circles over its limbs. Of course, it wouldn't be called Attack on Titan without having to, you know, attack some Titans, and the ODM is essential to taking these hulking beasts down too. While it doesn't always work as well as you'd hope - the game often has you swing far too low, scraping your backside on the floor, or splatting straight into a wall you were expecting to clear - it's certainly a cool enough feeling when it all comes together. Pressing square to fire, the game will automatically shoot your grappling hooks off into nearby rooftops in the town, letting you swing into the air and whizz through the streets with relative ease. They fly through the air, with the greatest of ease. A piece of tech that's probably best described as what would happen if Tony Stark decided he wanted to swing through the streets like Spiderman, the ODM gives you the speed and agility to get around town in a flash - and is actually key to most of the gameplay.
A couple of giant, oversized swords (naturally), provide you with the stopping power you need to chip away at the towering titans, while a grappling hook firing harness known as the ODM, or omni-directional mobility unit, is a real game changer. Starting out in basic training, you'll soon find yourself equipped with everything you need to get going.
While we're unfamiliar with the anime ourselves, apparently the game does follow the same plot as the anime/manga - which is something to bear in mind if you want to avoid spoilers.
Titan attacks 3ds review series#
Titans may be bigger, but you're certainly faster.Īfter creating your player character (with the ability to play as a man or a woman), you'll soon find yourself signing up for the military, where you'll be tasked with defending the town and its walls from Titan attack, through a series of heavily story driven missions. Developed by the guys and girls at Omega Force, the team behind the Dynasty Warriors series (along with spin-offs Fire Emblem Warriors and Warriors All Stars), you might be surprised to learn there's actually very little of the Warriors DNA in this game, with the vast, vast majority of the gameplay instead revolving around the hugely juxtaposed battles between the immense and mighty giants, and the comparatively tiny, yet much more nimble humans. While having a suitably epic plot is one thing, though, Attack on Titan 2 delivers on the gameplay front too. Having lost everyone you once held dear in the attack, you swear to sign up for the military as soon as you can, to get revenge for all those who fell, and to ensure a Titan never again sets foot on the human side of the walls. Almost totally wiping out everyone on that side of the wall, only a few humans manage to escape and retreat further inside the fortress - including series protagonist, Eren Jaeger, and you, the player character.
Titan attacks 3ds review skin#
With the appearance of the genuinely-unnerving-to-look-at Colossal Titan - with muscles so large they've burst through its skin - what once was an impenetrable fortress suddenly feels more like a cardboard box, as a giant foot smashes a hole straight through Wall Maria, allowing the rest of the Titans to swarm in in a surprise attack.
