Attack on Titan Xbox One Game

I absolutely love the anime series. Looking forward to Season 2 coming out. Recently me and the love of my life bought the game. At first the controls were hard to get use to, because you have to press the RB button to lock onto, then press the X button to attach your anchor to the Titan, and press A to speed up your attack, then pressing Y to attack. You practically have to make pressing these buttons in unison a habit. After you play the game for a while you get use to the major button pressing. Each time I try watching the anime I end up having to go play the game. In the anime there are characters like Jean Kirstein, Armin Arlert, and even Sasha Braus who have their own unique personalities. Yet you never fully see them fighting Titans. When you are playing Expedition Mode you can choose any character that is included with the game and Jean, Armin, and Sasha are included. Even if you were not able to see them at their best in slaying Titans. You have the chance to change that by playing the game.

At first when you begin Attack Mode you switch between characters such as Eren, Mikasa, and Levi. Practically since these three are mostly focused on. I believe Armin is another character you can change to as well whenever you need to protect Eren in his Titan form as he places the gigantic boulder inside the hole of Wall of Maria in Trost District. Not only can you play Attack Mode, but there are Survey Missions you can undertake as well. With Survey Missions you go beyond the walls into Titan territory doing various mission objectives to obtain victory. I really love how Koei Tecmo (creators of Romance of The Three Kingdoms, and Dynasty Warriors series including Warriors Orochi) made this game very much like Dynasty Warriors. Although the fighting mechanics are completely different.

The blades, ODM gear, and gas canisters can be upgraded by collecting parts from Titans. These parts vary based on the type of Titan you were fighting such as the famed Armored Titan, Crystallized Titan ( Which is what Annie has the power to do.), and another Titan type but I will not spoil it for those who haven't seen the anime nor seen Season 2 yet. The weapons in the game vary greatly based on blade length of your swords, durability, and amount which can be carried. In battle you can only carry 4 blades, but some characters have a skill you can unlock to where they carry more items of every type.

Overall I really love the game. There are spoilers to Season 2 in the game, but if you do not want to do those missions. You can always replay the games main storyline, or continue doing Survey Missions which there are quite a few of them. The more Survey areas you clear the more you unlock as these missions progress.
