Yeah, there have been official Attack on Titan video video games, however they’ve by no means actually managed to completely seize the velocity and scale of the present, so one indie developer figured he’d attempt to make his personal and launch it at no cost. Which he has achieved, after which some.

Swammy particulars the story of his little undertaking on this video, explaining that what began as a enjoyable little experiment in early 2021 blew up after his girlfriend satisfied him to put up a brief gameplay video on TikTok. An overwhelmingly optimistic response impressed Swammy to proceed improvement on the demo, constructing on a basis of swinging by means of town by including first some Titans to go up towards, after which—after one disastrous mix-up—a co-op multiplayer mode.

By January 2022, the sport was trying fairly good!

As you may see, the principle attraction of this recreation vs the official releases is the swinging system, which in Swammy’s recreation is a lot sooner and freer.

It’s tremendous simple to obtain and begin taking part in—although there’s a video right here for those who want some assist—and having been messing round with it this morning, I can perceive a number of the hype from followers. Certain, it’s fairly tough across the edges, and stuff just like the interface is as barebones because it will get, however permitting for the very fact it is a one-man job, and the way enjoyable the fundamental act of swinging round and stabbing issues is, I feel it’s actually cool.
