Attack on Titan

The ultra-popular Attack on Titan anime series has finally made its way to the video game world, with the minds behind the Dynasty Warriors franchise --- Omega Force and Koei Tecmo --- charged with the transition. I was hesitant to truly get excited for this new game, as I didn’t think Attack on Titan fit well into Omega Force style of game, but I’m happy to say that playing the game has proven me wrong... for the most part.

I worried a bit about Koei Tecmo taking on Attack on Titan. The publisher’s previous foray into the anime realm, two games based on Fist of the North Star, really underwhelmed me with monotonous gameplay and rehashed ideas. I went into my hands-on demo for Titan expecting to write about more of the same things I’d played before, but I left the demo completely surprised. Attack on Titan is a bold new direction, and if it pans out it could be a new era of success for the company.

It's time to rally the Survey Corps (or Scouting Legion or whatever else it was awkwardly translated to) and get ready for another Attack on Titan game.

On that day, mankind received a grim reminder. We live in the fear of the Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains 3DS game based on these awesome death GIFs.

Nintendo has posted a trailer for Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains, confirming its Western debut on the 3DS.
