Reception

The game received predominantly negative reviews. It was given a 4.9 by IGN.[11] It has a score of 46/100 on Metacritic.[4] 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."[12] 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."[13] USgamer 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."[14] Destructoid was more positive, awarding it 7 out of 10, and stated the game "often can't shake the limitations of the 3DS platform, but it captures most of what makes the anime's world so captivating."[15]
