![]() The little men are giant Titans.Īnother minor change is the ability to place different types of towers during gameplay, I vaguely remember this from the first game but here you have more options. The map – the tower icons are ones I’ve erected and the polo-mint symbols are places where I can build new towers. So, if you’re not fast enough – maybe don’t use the sneak attack mode! We are also given the ability to perform a sneak attack on the Titans by holding the R2 trigger – this allows you to use a telescope and activate a long-range attack where you instantly attach and dive straight into the creature – however, if you are spotted whilst setting this up, the titan will become enraged and instantly make you public enemy number one! The Titan will begin to glow red and charge at you like a bull – they won’t stop until you take them down or the cool-down timer has completed. ![]() True, you can still only kill a Titan by severing the back of its neck, but some have glowing body parts, take those out and it will instantly stun the enemy. There are a few different types of Titan this time around, from different looking usual ones to beefy ones who take longer to slice their limbs off – each one has its own strength and weakness (the back of the neck isn’t the only ‘weakness’ this time around). The Titans have all been improved in both their aggressiveness and their AI – they will still flop all over the place like they did in the first game and they will occasionally just stare at you with their dead eyes – but overall, you have to plan and sometimes set up your attacks – you can’t just fly in there and take them out one after another in every situation. Just because the story is very similar doesn’t mean that Attack on Titan 2 is identical in both the way you play and the mechanics of the game. The sky-box in the game is bloody lovely. Looking dapper as I pose after saving a fellow colleague. If you have played the original game or watched the anime, then a lot of this game will seem very familiar to you but don’t let that put you off, you aren’t getting a 1.5 update, the story isn’t the only thing that’s been tweaked… ![]() The story that’s covered this time is a lot more in-depth and a lot more personal as you don’t jump between the various members, this is your story, the story of “insert name here” and their adventure/journey they went on and wrote down for people to read about. We regain control of our character, after creating them, during training (which is very similar, if not the same, as the original game) and from here we will go from a trainee to being thrown into the deep-end by people who don’t know we are only a trainee all the way to being part of the team who is assigned to take on the most dangerous Titans. ![]() The narrator proceeds to read as we learn our protagonist has grown up with Eren and friends and we have all joined the 104th Cadet Corps in order to help take on the Titans and eventually get our revenge. As they sit there, trying to show their strength and not tears, they see a boy proclaim to the world that he would one day seek out and kill the Colossal Titan – his name was Eren. The Corp Cadets rescue the protagonist and take them to safety. And so, we are introduced to our protagonist, through their eyes, as their parents are killed. Over the years, the walls had managed to keep the citizens safe until one day the ‘Colossal Titan’ appeared – he was easily the size of at least 50 titans and was able to easily penetrate the wall and allow the other Titans inside. The humans, who have lived secluded for over a hundred years within a walled structure in order to keep them safe from giant naked human-like creatures known as Titans, are now under threat. They turn the pages of the journal back to the beginning and proceed to read our account of what had happened to us from day one, as they don’t know if we are male or female they decide to call us “our man” (yet another way to get around the custom created character). We are shown some first-person cutscenes (which is how the game gets around allowing you to create a custom character – they just don’t show what you look like) and once the powerful opening battle sequence comes to a stand-off, the game cuts to someone reading our journal. The game opens with our faceless protagonist up against the female Titan – an event that will happen later on in the story. As mentioned above, the game is a retelling of the first game/series but from a new perspective.
