Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle Review

Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle Review

Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle

Developer: Omega Force
Publisher: Koei Tecmo
Platform: PlayStation 4, Switch, Xbox One (Reviewed), PC
Release Date: Available Now
Price: $59.99 USD – Available Here $89.95 AUD – Available Here

Overview

Fans of Attack on Titan have been on a bit of a high note lately as the series went from taking a long break between anime seasons to pushing out numerous seasons over the course of a few years. As such it didn’t come as too much of a surprise that Koei Tecmo would take last year’s Attack on Titan 2 and add an expansion to the game in an effort to add story content as well as additional bits of gameplay to match up with the third anime season. With Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle being available both as a standalone that features all of the content of the original plus more or as a simple DLC add-on to the original, is this worth picking up?

Story

Since Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle features all of the content found in the original release players will still have access to the story content that is spread throughout the first two seasons of the anime, only seen through their own original created character. This mode provided a unique take on some elements of the story as it gave players a different viewpoint of some events as well as see things that the core cast never were able to see while also giving players a chance to form bonds and learn a little about the various characters in the series.

The original story content was already satisfying in its own way, outside of the obvious ending, but due to that ending Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle continues its extra bit of story in a new mode. The Character Episode Mode as it is called picks up immediately after the events that saw Eren being rescued after being kidnapped by the Armored and Colossal Titans, a mission players could still play as their original character in the core mode. However since the original character is now dropped from the story players will now be controlling the character’s that were actually found in these sections of the story.

These character episodes mix together solely cinematic sequences to help progress the story as well as new combat missions. Those looking forward to seeing how the third season’s storyline is portrayed here will most likely be rather pleased with this mixed style of presentation. There are also a few little side missions that can be unlocked as well and while they are meant to give players an extra viewpoint, really don’t add too much to the narrative. It is also worth noting that those who already played the first release of the game will find their save data carrying over to this new version with no issue, though if you’ve already beat the core story mode then you’ll really only find extra narrative through the character episodes and by bonding with some of the new characters in the other newly added mode.

Gameplay

For the most part players will find that Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle plays almost the exact same as the original release of the game though there are a few touch-ups to the combat system that make landing critical hits feel a bit easier. While playing through the aforementioned Character Episode mode players will need to do battle against both Titans as well as fellow humans for the first time in the series. Battling against other humans is fairly simple and uses many of the same mechanics of Titan battles but has a few little different features that make it a little more challenging, especially since most of these enemies prefer to use firearms instead of blades. It is worth noting that just like how players cannot choose the character they are playing as in these episodes, their weapon loadout is also pre-determined which feels a bit limiting at times especially since players now have some new toys to slay the Titans with.

Alongside the trusty blades that fans are more than familiar with players can now equip firearms as well as special ammunition that they can load into them. In other game modes players will be able to swap between blades and firearms at the various bases scattered throughout the map. Firearms tend to feel a bit overpowered at times since players can choose to shoot Titan limbs from a fairly safe distance without needing to zip around them using their ODM but close-range shots work just as well. Alongside these players also now can access powerful limited use finishing weapons such as the Gatling Gun in the firearm mode that sprays a ripping stream of bullets at your foe while the blades gain access to the Thunder Spear, a powerful weapon capable of slaying powerful Titans with one attack.

Most of your play with these new weapons will be spent in the other new mode, Territory Recovery (especially if you’ve already beat the core story), since they only occasionally pop-up in Character Episode mode. The Territory Recovery mode allows players to take and form a brigade all on their own by taking a character of their choosing, including their custom character, and taking on the Titans all while reclaiming land, building their core base, and recruiting characters from all over the storyline. In fact, this mode will likely provide fans the biggest bang for their buck at this point in time as creating your own unit while crafting a team of your favorite characters is something many fans have been hoping for for quite some time and building up their synergy, equipping them with stronger weaponry, and working on your own forward base is a blast.

All this being said, it is worth noting that since player’s save data from the original Attack on Titan 2 does carry over, returning players can feel a bit overpowered at the start when carrying over their massively upgraded equipment. Along those same lines the Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle expansion really only offers these two new gameplay modes and a handful of new weaponry, making it a bit of a hard press for some who may already have sunk plenty of time into the original release.

Visuals & Audio

Outside of what appear to be a few new areas, though they may simply be reconfigured a bit, players coming into Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle will mostly find the same looking presentation that the base game had, which isn’t too much of an issue as the visuals match the aesthetic of the anime perfectly with the characters all fitting their designs quite nicely while a wide variety of creepy Titans are on display. It is worth noting that the blood level has also been increased quite a lot this time around as players will often find themselves slaying a Titan and bathing the entire area in sprays of its blood. The camera unfortunately has not been improved and the flailing nature of the Titans can often cause players to lose track of themselves or simply slice into a body part they weren’t aiming at simply because the camera has issues keeping up with the speed of the player’s movement and the flailing of a wounded Titan.

Once again the voice acting for both the previous content as well as the brand new content is presented in Japanese only with English subtitles. This isn’t really an issue however as longtime fans of the series should be familiar with these characters by now and how their Japanese voice actors and actresses sound. The soundtrack remains fairly standard for a game such as this one with fitting themes playing over serious story beats and faster tempo music working well during combat.

Overall

Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle is a bit of an odd duck as it is clearly the best game for the franchise so far and those looking to get into the game will find no better entry point than this one as it not only offers the story from the beginning from a slightly different viewpoint but also does an excellent job portraying the hectic feeling of combat as players zip around using their ODM while targeting weak points and avoiding being grabbed by Titans. While this may be true for newcomers who haven’t played the original release, this new version of the game can be a bit of a tough recommendation due to the fairly high asking price compared to the actual content it adds.

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 Episode 1 Coming July 23/30th

Ubisoft and Massive announced the release date for the first major content drop for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. Episode 1 is titled D.C. Outskirts: Expeditions and will be available for all Year 1 Season Pass holders on July 23rd. Those without the Season Pass will have to wait until July 30th to access the outskirts of DC.

The bulk of the content comes in the form of two new main missions and the Expedition mode. The first mission takes agents to Camp White Oak where President and traitor Andrew Ellis is holed up. The second will see agents raiding the Manning National Zoo where Emmaline Shaw, leader of the Outcasts, is hiding and rebuilding the Outcast’s might.

The new expedition mode is set at Kenly College, previously used a military base. Agents will have to conquer three wings to access the trove of loot. The three wings will have three distinctive themes and will change every week.

In addition to the new content, the Diamondback exotic rifle, the exotic BTSU Datagloves, the Stoner LMG, and the Carbine 7 are being added to the game. Weapon crafting will now go up to GS500. The game is also going through a major overhaul, with skills and gear being rebalanced.

Massive is also responding to requests for raid matchmaking and an easier difficulty level. The new Discovery difficulty setting will provide a less challenging fight than the current Normal difficulty, though Dark Hours exotics and sets will remain an exclusive to normal difficulty.

TINY METAL: FULL METAL RUMBLE Storms the PC, Nintendo Switch Fronts Today

Advance Wars-Styled Turn-Based Strategy, Evolved

TOKYO – 11 JULY, 2019 – TINY METAL: FULL METAL RUMBLE, a turn-based strategy wargame of intrigue with a distinct Japanese flavor from the AAA veterans at AREA 35, Inc., launches its assault on Nintendo Switch and Steam for PC today.

The TINY METAL saga continues in this brand-new sequel with sights set squarely on leveling up the turn-based strategy genre. Inspired by classics like Advance Wars, TINY METAL: FULL METAL RUMBLE puts powerful strategic options at commanders’ disposal. A formidable challenge awaits, with four new difficulty options, across 39 campaign missions and 21 multiplayer battlefields.

The war with the Dinoldan Army is at a tipping point as they continue to excavate dangerous ancient technology. To stop their ceaseless charge, Commander Wolfram must mount a counteroffensive on multiple fronts. Journey across an open-world map filled with secrets—a first for the TINY METAL series—and unearth the world-shattering truths beneath an unforgettable story by Hirotaka Inaba (I Am Setsuna).

Unleash new Commander Powers and Passives to swiftly power up units or cut the enemy off at the knees. Master each map’s varied terrain—forests, snow, sand, and other environments hidden within the fog of war. Solve the intricacies of over 20 unit types to build and execute a winning strategy toward multiple victory conditions, another first for the TINY METAL series.

The world of TINY METAL: FULL METAL RUMBLE is ravaged by war, but striking pixel art and a sleek new UI by Masayoshi Nishimura (Octopath Traveler) brings characters and dramatic scenes to vibrant life. A stirring score by acclaimed composer Tomoki Miyoshi (STEINS;GATE, I Am Setsuna) provides the perfect backdrop to the tale’s twists and turns. An epic story awaits, driven to new heights by Japanese voice acting stars like Kenjiro Tsuda (Death Stranding).

“We’ve longed to continue telling the story we began with TINY METAL in 2017. What happens to Commander Wolfram, Nathan Gries, and the rest of the cast will define the series and set the stage for adventures to come,” said Hiroaki Yura, producer, AREA 35, Inc. “FULL METAL RUMBLE will challenge players like never before while growing the universe, answering burning questions, and asking new ones—all for the turn-based strategy fans whose passion for the genre burns bright.”

TINY METAL: FULL METAL RUMBLE is now available for Nintendo Switch and PC in North America and Europe for $14.99 with a limited time launch discount of 15%. A demo featuring three campaign maps and two skirmish battlefields is also available in the Nintendo eShop. Following launch, a day one patch will address all known bugs and ready FULL METAL RUMBLE for battle.

Ion Maiden Becomes Ion Fury, Launches August 15 on PC with a Big Box Edition

DALLAS, TX – JULY 11, 2019 – Ion Maiden, the old-school first-person shooter developed by Voidpoint and published by 3D Realms and 1C Entertainment, will release under a new title to avoid legal issues with a certain popular heavy metal band. Ion Fury fires out of Early Access and 1.0 bursts onto PC August 15, with Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation® 4 and Xbox One coming later. To celebrate, PC Big Box-style physical copies are now available for pre-order.

Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison finally has a deadly date on her calendar with Dr. Jadus Heskel and his army of cyber-cultists. With signature weapons including her Loverboy revolver and Bowling Bombs, every cyborg she sees is about four seconds away from being nothing but gibs n’ gore. 

Lovingly crafted in the Build engine which powered ‘90s classics such as Duke Nukem 3D, Blood and Shadow Warrior, Ion Fury fuses nostalgic looks with today’s technology to create the ultimate shooter. Modern features like auto-saves, improved physics and map interactivity, headshots, and widescreen functionality simply weren’t possible back then, but Ion Fury brings the best of both worlds.

To celebrate the sheer madness of a modern shooter made in the Build engine, Shelly’s getting the Big Box she deserves. This edition includes a Bowling Bomb-shaped USB Drive loaded with a DRM-Free version of the game and Soundtrack, a poster, a keycard based on the ones Shelly finds in-game, a making-of booklet, a Bowling Bomb sticker set, and of course Ion Fury, all for $59.99.

Haven’t played yet, and find that trigger finger is getting itchy? The Digital edition of Ion Fury is available now on Steam Early Access in English, for $19.99. As the game has doubled in planned scope since its unveiling, the price will rise to $24.99 one week from today on July 18. Now’s the perfect time to pick it up and start blasting.

“After careful consideration, we’ve decided to rename our first-person-shooter “Ion Maiden” to “Ion Fury,” said Mike Nielsen, CEO of 3D Realms. “A lot of thought went into this, but most importantly it would be a disservice to our loyal fanbase and the fantastic developers, to drag out a long lawsuit. The amazing gameplay, interactivity and pure fun, is what makes Ion Fury a great game. Not the title.”

With EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5’s recent Western release on December 11th, 2018 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, it has received critical praise from reviewers and consumers alike, and currently has a MetaCritic score of 72 for PlayStation®4.

Developed by SANDLOT, EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5 continues traditions set by the wildly popular series. Since it first launched in 2003 for the PlayStation®2 console, the EDF series has earned a reputation for its relentless third-person wave shooter gameplay with tons of enemies on-screen, its wide array of unique classes, weapons, loadout combinations, and its charming B-movie dialogue and settings with cities under siege by giant, out of the world creatures. This focus on delivering an overwhelming scale of enemies and a sense of exhilaration continues with EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5, featuring the most detailed enemy models featured in the series to-date with breakable limbs and body parts and more advanced AI behavior.

Packed with tons of content and high replay value, EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5 delivers over 100 missions with five levels of difficulties to choose from for each mission. Including more than 1,000 weapons and armaments to unlock, it also offers players four unique classes to master, allowing players to approach mission goals and objectives in a variety of ways. Classes include the Ranger, a well-rounded infantry soldier, the Wing Diver, a highly mobile air unit, the Fencer, a heavy weapons unit with thick armor, and the Air Raider, a support focused class with the ability to call in various air support types like vehicles, orbital air strikes, and missile barrages. With multiple options for multiplayer, EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5 also offers up to four-player online co-op as well as offline couch co-op, supporting up to two players via split-screen.
