Surprisingly great hack-and-slashers
Turning Attack On Titan’s giant enemies and grapple-hooking sword combat into a video game seemed like a tall order (pun intended), and one that a budget Koei Tecmo treatment seemed doomed to fail. And yet. As I explained in myAttack On Titan: Wings Of Freedom reviewback in 2016, the game absolutely nailed the series' action.
As of this week, both it and its sequel are permanently cheaper.

Attack On Titan 1 isnow £35/$40instead of its previous price of £50/$60, andAttack On Titan 2isnow £40/$40, reduced from £55/$60.
That thrill is all about being a Spider-Man (actually a squad of gas-and-grapple-propelled anime teens) hacking the limbs off enormous Godzilla monsters (actually naked sometimes-skinless giant humans) in a city where all the buildings are destructible. You don’t need to care about the anime - I bailed on it in season two - to get behind that idea.
When I reviewed the first game back in 2016, I called its £50 price tag “absurd”. It has had regular discounts since then, and perhaps those discounts will be deeper in future, but if you’re looking for something mindless, exciting, violent, like a fleshier Earth Defense Force, maybe now is the time.
