I got to a part where the blue floating cat says to an enemy
"don't be a pu$$y"
lmao I'm dead

5/5

Hope my review was helpful to everybody.

This will be my first review ever so it may not be what you expect, but here we go.

Having played 160+ hours, beaten every single mission in S-Rank with Dire Subjugation, completed the Gallery (have made every equipment), and gotten all achievements, I believe my review will be accurate.

The game follows the same story as the anime/manga, including short cutscenes for the highlights of the show. Starting with Attack Mode (which is considered "normal" mode). Beating that unlocks True Attack Mode (or "hard mode" - also "TAM"). PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE GAME DIFFICULTY SETTINGS ASIDE FROM THIS FOR EASY, NORMAL, AND HARD. On TAM, the titans have much more life on each body part and are much more aggressive, turning and grabbing much quicker. There is also Expedition Mode, in which you can play Survey Missions either online of offline. If playing online, you can have up to four people playing together.
Let’s talk about progression. As mentioned before the game follows the show’s storyline. This is true for both Attack Mode and True Attack Mode. As the story progresses, one can unlock Survey Missions, which award the player with rewards for the Gallery and regiment funds. There are also town requests with rewards.
But let’s get to the Pros and Cons:

• Great graphics – looks just like the anime
  
• Great gameplay/controls – it is exactly what you would expect
  
• The level up system is not as “grindy” as other games – as long as you focus on getting materials for your gear this can be almost disregarded
  
• With that ↑ said, the equipment system is nice; with modification and fortification
  
• Can play any mission with any character available
  
• The titans are just as freaky as the show (of course a pro!)
  
• The bizarre titans save this game from being way too repetitive
  
• Can be played online
  
• Can make the online lobbies either public or private
  
• No trade system – yes this is a pro because items and equipment are very easy to get
  
• Skill system – this actually caught me by surprise but I love how cool the character skills are… except for Jean. Jean sucks. Poor Jean.
  
• Great sountrack even though it is not the same as the show – “Blond’s Rage: EHH EHHEHH EHHHHH”

• System Requirements are very high – although the PC I have is pretty nice and up to date, there is one mission in which I did get some lag until I killed 2-4 titans
  
• Terrible voice chat system – it is mostly recommended to mute your mics or find a workaround (coughdiscordcough)
  
• Some highly desired characters are not playable due to spoilers (coughanniecough) unless Cheat Engine is used
  
• Game gets very repetitive quickly; missions and side missions are exactly the same from one stage to another – though it shouldn’t matter if you are a true fan
  
• Online lobbies are a ghost town most of the time, so find a friend and/or add people from the discussions section
  
• There are some bugs, like players being stuck inside a building and titans stuck inside a building or underground
  
• The way the titans move is very weird and clumsy; sometimes they are going at 80 mph on their knees… or walking around like dancing the limbo… or when they go to grab you in front of them, but you escape to their back, so their arms spin 200 degrees and get you anyway (I actually find these hilarious lol)
  
• The game seems abandoned – no updates or news for about 4 months but there might be hope as I read somewhere a new game may be developed for the NDS systems (don’t take my word for it though)
  
• Although good replay value, the game is very short
  
• THIS GAME IS TERRIBLE FOR KEYBOARDS. GAME CONTROLLERS ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
  
• Jean

Fun fact: right now, the only character worse than Jean is Ymir because she has no skills, decisive battle signal (this applies to all hidden characters), nor transformation for that matter. I suspect Ymir has Stealth, it just does not show in her skill list, but I could be wrong. Confirmed that Ymir has absolutely no skills.

All in all, a very solid game. For what it is, it is well polished and is almost exactly what you would expect. I definitely recommend buying it, but not for full price – BUY IT WHENEVER IT’S ON SALE!!!. I would love to see more being put into this game but will have to wait until more of the anime is released #fml
