It's a good and generally faithful adaptation, but from that angle, it's nothing special for a licensed title. Whether you enjoy said story or not, or just don't care, it's easily skippable with the push of a button to no detrimental effect. It merely retells a slightly-altered-to-accomodate-more-gameplay version of the anime's first season (and the manga's first eight volumes), and then reaches further into unexplored territory in unlockable Epilogue Missions that lead to the true final battle. The story is a simple and relatively unimportant matter. The answers are very well and absolutely. The point is that I'm now able to judge this game through the lens of both an objective gamer and an Attack on Titan fan - so how does it hold up, and is it worth playing even if you don't know or don't like the source material?

Turns out it's actually pretty great! It's not among my favorites, but it's an adventure I quite enjoy and will continue to follow, both through the manga and when the second season finally airs next year. Then I saw that this game had come out and sources I trust were giving it positive attention, so I picked it up one day and binge-watched the whole anime in a day to prepare. I followed the manga story online, but I never had the desire to read actual copies or watch the anime, despite literally everyone recommending it to me. Until this game came out, I was pretty ambivalent toward Attack on Titan. However, no matter how many Titans they slay, nearly all of them are doomed to meet the same fate as the citizens they've failed to protect. When gigantic, man-eating entities called Titans start to breach the walls that make up humanity's last sanctuary, Eren and many others join the military and take up arms to try and fight back against them. However, it does show off some of the gameplay and the art style, so watch it if you want.)įor the unaware, Attack On Titan: Wings of Freedom (alternatively titled just Attack On Titan or A.O.T.: Wings of Freedom depending on where you are) follows Eren Yeager in an expanded retelling of the hit anime series. (This is the best, least extra content spoiler-y trailer I could find, and even it's not that great.
