Attack on Titan: Escape from Certain Death screenshots, details
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Koei Tecmo released a new set of Attack on Titan: Escape from Certain Death today. Find them in the gallery below.
Today’s screenshots cover two aspects of the new Attack on Titan game: exploration and bonds.
The goal is to escape from the basement of an old castle where the player falls after an attack from the titans. Players will explore the castle with other team members, but there are dangers lurking in the form of traps and titans. The reason why the player has to explore the castle is because the 3D Maneuver Gear broke down during the accident so flight is impossible.
Other than obtaining items, there are also quests, where player needs to pick the correct choice within a limited time. If the quest fails, relationships with characters may fall, or it might even lead to a bad ending.
Players can strengthen bonds with characters by choosing the correct actions and words. Even guarded characters may eventually open up their unexpected other side once the bonds are strong enough. However, bonds may also loosen/weaken if the wrong choices are made. There are graphic effects on the character to show the change in bonds. When positive, the character has an energetic blue aura. But if going negative, there will be a depressing purple aura instead.

The Alliance Alive was initially revealed through Jump, but Famitsu provides an extensive follow-up report last week. Much of it has been covered already, but we do have some additional information, including tidbits from the developers which weren’t touched on a few days ago.
In The Alliance Alive, the premise is that a thousand years ago, the Demon Clan invaded the human world to control a chaotic energy that could endanger the demon world. The Demon Clan also set up a Giant Barrier here that disrupted weather and caused the sky to no longer be blue, as well as causing earthquakes and generating a Black Current on the sea that split the land into several zones, consuming many other cities and killing about half of the whole human population. A few hundred years later, each of these zones were put into their own administrations by the Demon Clan, having unique cultures as well as a caste system that puts the Demon Clan at the top.
Three of the many zones split by the Black Current are introduced in this first batch:
