Attack on titan humanity in chains review bgr
Overview
The game casts players in role of characters from the Attack on Titan series, or a character they created, as they take hold of three-dimensional maneuver gear to attack Titans, giants that hunt and devour humans. The game's most recent iteration features a single player story mode, local and online multiplayer, and Circle Pad Pro support.
Reception
The game mainly received negative reviews from many reviewers, but some critics claimed they enjoyed it; it was given a 4.9 by IGN. It has a score of 46% on Metacritic. GameSpot awarded it a score of 4.0 out of 10, saying "Between the can't-look-away morbidity of being eaten and watching the ensemble cast persevere, there's no denying the draw of Attack on Titan and the potential for a superb game adaptation. Humanity in Chains just isn't that game." Nintendo World Report awarded it 3 out of ten, saying "What I got is something that you should have no business playing, and I look forward to reclaiming over 12,000 blocks of 3DS memory very soon." US Gamer awarded it 1.5 out of 5, saying "If you enjoy the series, your time would be better spent just watching it all over again." Destructoid was more positive, awarding it 7 out of 10 and saying "Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains often can't shake the limitations of the 3DS platform, but it captures most of what makes the anime's world so captivating."
