- "Attack on Titan"?
Isn't that a show?
- Oh, Attack on Titan. I've seen this game.
It's kinda like the show, and then
you go all around and slice Titans up.
- It was, like, the hugest thing. Do you remember that?
There was such a big Attack on Titan frenzy.
- That was, like, my favorite anime of all time back in, like--
I can still hear the beginning of the theme song
playing in my head.
- It's one of the best animes I've ever seen. I love it.
It's like a society that lives inside walls,
because there's these giant Titan creatures outside the walls
that attack them and eat people.
- (FBE) This game follows the events of season one of the anime,
where humanity is on the brink of extinction
due to the human-eating Titans.
So first, you're gonna be training
to be a soldier against the Titans. - I don't know.
I don't know how I'd face off against the Titans.
In real life, I'd probably die pretty quickly.
But in the game, we'll see. Maybe I'll do a little better.
- Let's do it!
- (speaking Japanese)
- I really like the art style here.
Like, it works well with the actual style in the anime.
- "Are you ready?"
- He already knows I'm gonna be bad at this.
- This boy wants to...
I guess, kill people and master his equipment.
- "The basics of omni-directional mobility start with movement."
Okay, so already doing great.
- I'm running. Got the anime run down.
- He's doing the Naruto run.
- "Use square to fire an anchor"?
Okay, "success." I like that.
- "Fire an anchor."
(laughing)
- Oh, that was cool.
- Okay, so square is to fire. Okay, that's good.
- Where am I going? This way? I got this.
- Oh my god. I want one in real life.
- Over the wall, okay. Over the wall.
- Boom.
Easy.
- The actual jumping and firing the anchor
and the boosting feels pretty good.
- Now what?
- Oh. Got to hit the Titans now.
- "Small one first."
- "Press R1 when a Titan is near to switch to combat mode."
- "Pressing the square will fire an anchor
into a Titan's body part."
- "During omni-directional mobility combat,
you can rush toward the Titan by not using L."
- "You can attack a Titan's body part by rushing close to it,"
but not clicking anything.
I'm pressing triangle right before there's a collision.
- It's teaching me to kill Titans by jumping on the Titans,
which frankly isn't a great strategy,
'cause I'd try and get as far away from them as possible.
- Press R1 to enter-- oh.
Okay, so R1 just targets the Titan.
- Square.
And triangle. Dang it.
Oh, there. I understand.
- Is that good?
Yeah, nice.
- Okay, so I don't-- okay, and then triangle.
Okay, got it.
- Yes! I did it.
(loud impact) - Woo!
I mean, I don't know what 285 is out of,
but that seemed like a powerful attack.
(loud impact) - Ooh! Easy. Easy.
Is he dead? I killed him.
That was easy. Easy. Bring on the real Titans now.
- "Successfully attacked Titan training dummy." Yay.
- I'm digging the combat and the movements so far.
- (FBE) All right, now that you're trained,
let's see how you do against the Titans. - Oh boy.
- Oh god, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die.
- I feel like the giant monster creatures
that are destroying their city,
I shouldn't have to face them on my first day.
That's not a fair test.
- Let's go. Attack some Titans.
- "Hey, Armin, do you think this is a good opportunity?"
- "Once we participate in our first battle, we'll be recruits."
- Everything they say is really dramatic.
Look at that.
Hardcore parkour.
- Ooh, I like how it's kinda still anime style.
- All right, let's go. Let's move on out. Let's hit the road.
- Ooh. Oh yeah. I've always wanted to do this.
- "Head to Armin." Okay.
I'm assuming he's the exclamation point.
- I think I need to go over here.
- "Head to Armin." What's up?
- Armin! Gotcha!
Wee! I win. So we don't have to fight the Titans, right?
- All right, Eren. Titans are already in town.
- "...and stop the Titan invasion." Okay.
- I'm gonna die, man.
- All right, let's do this.
- (chuckles) Okay. Ready? I'm ready for this.
- Let's go! Woo!
(Titan barks) - Oh my god.
- Let's go. Let's go. First Titan. Oh god.
- Woohoo! He is terrifying, even in video game form.
All right, let's do this.
- I think I'm getting it. Hold on.
Boom, boom, boom-boom-boom-boom.
Dang it. (gasps) Oh, I almost got it eaten.
- I should go around, 'cause I can't go for his--
if I go through his head, he's gonna eat me.
- Okay. Okay, that's bad.
What are you saying, damn it, cadet?
I'm the one who almost got eaten.
- Wait, okay. R1.
Right, up, up. That's where I want.
Yeah! Bye. Next Titan.
- Touch.
I did it!
- Oh! I killed it!
Yes! Oh, I feel great about myself.
- Oooh... noice.
Ooh, that's a lot of fun. That was pretty cool.
- There we go.
Boom. Dead.
Already got one.
Let's go find some more Titans.
- I feel like Spider-Man.
- Going through the city just feels fast and right.
Oh, this guy. This guy's not even that-- oh god.
- R1, square.
(mumbles) Got him.
Yes! I'm gonna have bloodstains there.
Oh my god! Look at me, dude.
- Wow! I am covered in blood.
Oh man. He needs a shower.
- Ooh, this guy. Let's go.
"Complete subjugation."
All right, let's go. Let's go.
This is pretty fun, actually. I'm digging it.
But I just hope it gets a little harder.
- Yo, let's go.
(loud impact, blood spraying)
Okay. Yo, I'm wiping this town out right now.
- Oh gosh. That's probably the most important thing.
All right. I have to head this way.
- Whee!
I wish bungee jumping was like this. That'd be much more fun.
- Okay, I'm here. What's up?
Did they all just--
Oh, they wanted to just take out the Titans.
Okay, all right.
- Let's go. Come on.
(loud impact) Yeah.
Easy. This is-- pff.
If the show this easy,
it wouldn't be as interesting, I don't think.
- (giggles) His dance. I can't--
(characters shouting)
And your dancing days are over, bruh.
♪ (electronic action music) ♪
- Got to get around him.
(Eren shouts) Ooh, that distraction!
Did not see that coming.
(Eren shouting)
(blade rings, squelching)
- Mm! So satisfying when they die.
- Oh, sheshus. "Superior subjugation."
(loud impact) - Nice. One hit.
Not too bad. Bye.
♪ (stirring action music) ♪ (Titan stomping)
- Okay. Final guy, let's go.
- Is this the big one?
- Oh, this guy's screwed. Am I gonna come save him?
Run away.
- That's so creepy.
- I can do it. I got this far.
- Oh no. "More large Titans have appeared."
- Ah-ha-ha. Oh-ho! Why does he have lightning?
- Ooh. Why is he glowing like that?
- He's on fire.
For my mother!
- Oh gosh.
(Titan growls) - Oh, sheshus.
I need to bounce. Hold up.
I need to go, I need to go, I need to go.
- Okay.
No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no.
Bam. You don't screw with me.
- I'll have to go for those points first.
"Completing side-missions and destroying Titan parts
during battle will cause
your Decisive Battle Signal Meter to rise."
- "When it is filled, press R2
to activate Decisive Battle Signal."
- All right. Ready?
I'm setting it off.
(flare blasts)
Let's go.
- Go. (Eren shouts)
Boom.
Come on, guys!
Whoa!
- Woo! Well, now that I have 15 people
that can teleport behind me, I'm pretty enthusiastic.
(Eren grunts loudly) Ooh.
That seemed successful.
♪ (music intensifying) ♪
Still going around.
♪ (music slows) ♪ Oh!
Trippy.
All right, all right. We're getting there.
(grunting and shouting) - Oh gosh.
(loud impacts) I did it!
Two failed attacks, though.
Success.
- Did I just kill him?
Ah! Look at that! Oh my gosh.
(Eren shouts fiercely)
- Ohhh!!
"Efficient subjugation"!
- Subjugate.
Oh, so this one's a little bit more powerful-- nope.
Nope, okay.
- Boom. Did I kill him yet?
I killed him. All right, we're good.
We're fine. Look, I'm all glowy and cool now too.
- Go team. Mission completed.
I need a nap.
- (FBE) Congratulations! You've successfully defended the city!
- Oh, that was it? Wait, that was it?
- It was fun. It was really easy, but it was still fun.
- Oh my gosh. I made it. I did it, Mom.
- That was so fun.
- Even though it was really easy
and I was kind of just pressing the same combos over and over,
it was still really fun,
'cause it was like a different gaming experience.
- That was really awesome and eventful and stressful and dizzying
and so many adjectives that are all positive. I'm a fan.
I'm a fan of all Attack on Titan-related things.
