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 kill humans. The game's most recent iteration features a single player story mode, local and online multiplayer, and Circle Pad Pro support.[3]

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.[4] It has a score of 46% on Metacritic.[5] 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."[6] 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."[7] 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."[8]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."[9]
