Gameplay
Although the game is developed by the studio that created the Warriors formula, Attack on Titan is very unique. You will feel at home with the large battlefields that present multiple objectives for you to manage, but there are no impossibly large armies or the need to run from one side of the map to the other. Just like in the anime, soldiers must rely on their Omni-Directional Mobility (ODM) gear to get around quickly and safely. Titans are large and some are incredibly fast, so moving on foot would put you at a large disadvantage. ODM gear allows you to grapple and swing throughout levels (much like Spider-Man) as you use height and speed to keep out of danger.
Combat also utilizes this gear, as you must ‘anchor’ onto Titans as you search for weakpoints to exploit in order to get the kill. Fighting isn’t as fast-paced or combo-heavy as the Warriors games. Instead, you’ll have to focus and utilize your teammates if you want to bring down some of the game’s tougher Titan foes. A gear customization system allows players to change their blades, scabbards, and other gear to fine tune their gameplay. You can go for power, speed, or even a mix of both as you mix and match parts to your liking.
Missions play out on huge battlefields, with optional objectives scattered about for those looking for something extra. The variety offers basic “kill the target” objectives, base defense, escorting, and more. Thanks to the presentation, which looks as if it was ripped straight from the anime, players will feel like they’re truly inside of Attack on Titan.
