Titan attacks review series#

Thankfully the story for Attack on Titan 2 is not the only thing there is to do here. From player customization to two online game modes, and a complete overhaul of the games interface, Omega Force really put all their effort into making the game more than just a replay of the anime series. Plus, who doesn’t love the satisfaction that comes only after beating the most difficult boss battles of the game? And despite the lack of innovation with the story, there are some huge additions here that definitely amp up the replayability value of this sequel. Interestingly this is what drove me to keep playing through the story because as my frustration built over the lacklustre and uninspiring plot, so did my desire to slice and dice whenever and wherever possible. Hell even when you’re getting your ass beat it still feels exciting.

Though the story, or lack thereof, is a disappointing one for someone who has played the first game and watched the first season of the anime, I can’t say the action of killing titans doesn’t get the blood pumping every time. How is this different from the anime you ask? It really isn’t. Sure you get to play just as much as you did in the first game, however, this time you get to view Eren, Armin, and even Levi and Annie with your own eyes. But don’t expect to receive too many details of the character you join in as, because other than a few vague descriptors throughout the game half the time it’ll feel like you don’t even exist. Rather than play the game as Eren and his loveable, if not at times slightly pitiful, cast of characters, you get to join in as a spectator. Well, save for the different titan abilities, epic boss battles, and your own customizable character anyway.

Unfortunately, the story of Attack on Titan 2 does a complete 180, and is almost identical to that of the first game.

After the epic ending to the first game, which I’m not going to spoil here, it’s hard not to get excited for what’s to come.

Usually, I try not to ruin the story for you, but whether you’ve seen the first season of the anime series the game is named after or you’ve played the original game, you’re not really in for much of a surprise here. “There’s no denying that Attack on Titan 2 looks kickass, with graphics that rival the anime itself.”
