#Titan attacks review series#

As a counterattack, humanity has set up a squad of fighters equipped with gas-powered grappling hooks and massive blades to cut through the back of the Titans’ necks, their sole weak point. Naturally, all it takes is a really big Titan to bring down the wall, causing a flood of cannibalistic creatures to finish off the remaining humans. The survivors are backed into a corner and forced to live behind massive walls which have kept them alive for a century. With the latest attempt releasing on the PS4, the juggernaut console is more than sturdy enough to handle the Titan-slaying concept, but does Omega Force manage to keep up their streak of more fluid visuals and less repetitive combat?įor those who haven’t followed the series, here’s a brief refresher on the story: in an alternate universe medieval setting (or possibly a post apocalyptic future setting, as some fans have theorized), humanity is on the verge of extinction due to frequent attacks by the Titans, large humanoid creatures who are mindlessly driven to consume every last human on the planet.

Since its premiere, the AOT series was instantly recognized for its potential as a character-swinging, Titan-slaying videogame, but the last attempt to recreate the action and excitement of the series was little more than a poorly-developed cash-grab on the 3DS, a system well below the performance requirements to capture the feeling of taking on cannibalistic giants in a massive city. It is that combination of goodwill and brand recognition that Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom has received a bit more attention. Previously, developer Omega Force seemed content to suffocate the videogame market with bi-annual releases of Dynasty Warriors and its uncountable number of spin-offs, but their latest crop of Anime-inspired spinoffs (including One Piece, Gundam and Dragon Quest) have received a much more welcoming response from fans of those respective series and action games in general. Ever since the release of Hyrule Warriors, the Musou genre has been getting a noticeable rise in quality.
