![]() ![]() This, along with all further levels requires you to first talk to NPC’s and stock up or upgrade your equipment before heading out to slaughter more Titan’s. Once you get past learning the mechanics on the training grounds you are thrust straight into your first main mission. The animations and tension that is gained while standing still to refill or take out a new set of blades is fantastic and a quick break from all the frantic action. The directional pad being used for health, gas cylinders and blades was a really nice feature that doesn’t get in the way of your main controls. Other buttons are used for your blade attack and to lock onto a target, usually being your choice of Titan limbs to dismember. It may get a bit clunky at times, especially when coming up against other obstacles and terrain (getting too close to them nets you some wonderful environmental clipping). ![]() The first time I sailed through the sky was rather invigorating, such a rush and it took me back to the brilliant web-swinging days of Activision’s Spider-man 2 game. The buttons consisted of holding down or tapping a button to fly around the map with your VME (Vertical Manoeuvring Equipment). At first I was frustrated with the button combinations, after going into the options and finding I could completely re-map every button till I was comfortable with my choice was a fantastic design move. The controls are where this game shows its colours. The main focus of the game has a third-person perspective as you take the role with one of four main characters, Eren, Mikasa, Armin and Levi. It shows how much love went into making Wings of Liberty and it only permits the series to grow on you even more. Now to the actual gameplay. I found more back story helped me understand this universe and even clarifying some actions of certain main characters in the series. The idea of a game sticking so close to the plot of a series may sound like a turgid affair, but here we find even more added detail and background to the sometimes convoluted plot of the show. Co-operating with the government and its people to take on the beasts and find a solution to the Titan’s that continue to eradicate human-kind. ![]() Little does Eren or anyone else know that he, himself can assume the form of a Titan. After the wall which protects their hometown is breached by the Colossal Titan they follow a path that leads them to eventually joining the Survey Corps (A military regiment that exits the walls and tries to eradicate the Titan’s). The story follows Eren Yeager, his foster sister, Mikasa and their childhood friend Armin. What remains of humanity now resides within three enormous walls: Wall Maria, Wall Rose and the innermost is Wall Sina. Over 100 years before the beginning of the story, giant humanoid creatures called Titans suddenly appeared and nearly wiped out all of humanity, devouring them without remorse or reason. The basic premise of the plot without too many spoilers: Now we have Wings of Freedom produced by Omega Force, the team behind Dynasty Warriors and the One Piece video game titles.Īttack on Titan: Wings of Freedom has two modes of game-play: Attack Mode is the games campaign story and Expedition mode is a co-op affair to which I had not been able to test at the time of the review due to the low pre-release player count. The campaign’s story stays extremely close to that of the animated series. Its depiction of the characters and the universe of Attack on Titan was pretty spot on, but the limitations of the console and lack of any decent gameplay in between all the plot meant the game fell very short. ![]() Not too long ago we got our grubby mitts on Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains for the Nintendo 3DS. Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom, is a true testament of what can be done with a team that is passionate about the source material, even if it could have benefited from some more time in development and a little more variety. It’s a rarity for any of them to accurately reflect the source material without ruining it in some form or another. Quite often we get stuck with inferior video game adaptations of TV shows and movies. ![]()
