Attack on Titan Reviews
This is the best game based on the popular anime series Attack on Titan, but with repetitive combat, it gets dull fast.
In conclusion the game works very well because the style of play is what Koei does best, and that's just the kind of developer this game needed, I'm very pleased with the game as a whole, Attack on Titan was a very anticipated series which meant it had high expectations, this probably deducted from my overall enjoyment of the series, however the game definitely reignited that fire by making it immersive and putting you at the center of the series, I found myself totally addicted to playing the game, despite occasionally being bogged down in mission ranking and items gathered screens after each mission and the slightly overdone dialogue that was probably a little bit more than necessary. I only tore myself away from the game once, and that's a high score in my books, definitely worth looking into, definitely worth buying, but perhaps not worth the $90 price tagged slapped on it, $60 would be the go. Overall though, a pleasure to play and to review also.
Attack on Titan is a good game, but not a great one. It does a tremendous job of adapting the anime's excellent action scenes to an exciting set of game mechanics, but struggles to extend that fun core into full-length game. Any given fifteen seconds of Attack on Titan is excellent, but those fifteen seconds are repeated again and again until they're no longer compelling.
All in all, Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom is a smart adaptation that replicates the action of the series without resorting to a typical hack n' slash knockoff. The cluttered camera and controls take some adjusting, but otherwise this is the first real attempt at successfully adapting the colossal anime hit in videogame form and is another proud notch on Omega Forces' belt (it also increases the anticipation for Berserk, their next anime offering later this year).
A chaotic and fun swing and slash experience, that has something for new and old fans of the series. High speed action, that wears after a bit, but enough mode variety to keep completionists going. The upgrade system lacks depth which detracts from the mission reward structure.
Though Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom can get repetitive after quite a few hours in, there is a ton of mindless fun to be had from just speeding across expanses of land and taking down dozens upon dozens on giant foes. Even if you aren't a fan of the anime or manga, Wings of Freedom is a very enjoyable experience.
Attack on Titan is a unique experience for me. It's a great game based on a boring series and because Omega Force was able to make me care about Attack on Titan, I'm going to have to score it appropriately.
You'll be genuinely challenged by what's on offer in A.O.T, and there is most definitely a strong sense of satisfaction from slicing through the monstrous titans. Given that this is the first attempt at a very different kind of game for Koei Tecmo, I'd say that Attack on Titan franchise is in good hands going forward.
Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom is absolutely superb and is all the fans could have hoped for—and more. Exhilarating and addictive, it manages to do justice to the source material and deliver moments fans will adore. A must-buy for any fans of the series and even worth picking up for newbies, too.
Attack on Titan provides fun, giant-slaying action for the first few hours, but lackluster characters, shallow missions, and grinding upgrade system prove to be the rock that toppled Goliath.
It may be repetitive, but flying around with the ODM gear and cutting up Titans is just fun enough that it never really became a huge issue
Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom deserves a lot of praise for accurately capturing the feel of the anime and translating it to video game form. Unfortunately, once you get past the accurate representation, there isn't much to the game. You'll kill the same Titans in the same environments with the same tactics over and over, and there's little to no deviation. There's enough interesting content to last you through the story mode, but it wears out its welcome long before you finish the epilogues. Fans of the anime should get a good amount of gameplay out of this, but only the most hardcore will keep going after they're finished.
As a huge fan of the Anime, I really enjoyed this game and I'll probably keep playing it for a long time, which is why I'd highly recommend it to any other fan. However, if you didn't watch the Anime, or did so but didn't like it, then I don't think this is game you'd enjoy.

The game very accurately depicted the anime and nailed the speed and ferocity of slaying titans, although I do find the price point to be just a little bit too high for what the game actually gives you in content.
Attack on Titan is a game that is mainly built for fans of the anime and manga. It manages to capture the look and feel of the series with its execution, even though it is not perfect. At its core, the game is a fun hack and slash experience that should not be missed by the fans.
Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom isn't just a faithful adaptation of the popular series, it's also one of the fastest action games this year.
Attack on Titan is an excellent take on the beloved anime. It is fast-paced, looks great and offers a ton of online and offline content for you to enjoy. While the game does struggle a bit on PlayStation Vita as it forces it to its limits, the PlayStation 4 runs smoothly without a hitch. We both had a great time playing the game for our Attack on Titan review, and we hope to read what you thought of the game once you get a chance to play it!
Sasha is best girl.
If you are a fan of the Attack On Titan series then this should be a no-brainer, get it and enjoy it. If you don’t know the series but enjoy fast paced high intensity action, pick it up and have a good time. Attack On Titan impressed me multiple times and is just plain fun.
'Attack on Titan' focuses on a single idea and nails it absolutely perfectly. The game runs the risk of feeling repetitive at times, but it smartly mitigates that by injecting enough variety into each mission and playable character. While the game isn't without its flaws, at its best, it's an extremely exciting action game with some of the greatest movement mechanics I've ever seen. 'Attack on Titan' is both perfect for series' fans and a terrific game in its own right, and absolutely shouldn't be ignored.
