On November 27, 2024, Ethereum-based metaverse gaming platform The Sandbox launched “Attack on Titan: Invasion,” a tower defense-themed game in partnership with the popular manga and anime series Attack on Titan. .
What is the meaning: Another crypto game with a familiar story to players, Attack on Titan: Invasion joins the list of well-known IPs that rely on blockchain games. This could lead more traditional studios to rely on technology integration, which could lead to mass adoption.
About ‘Attack on Titan: Invasion’: It is a free game that can be played on Windows and Mac.

- Gameplay: Since players will be part of the unit, they will have to undergo training and then jump into battle to face successive waves of Titan attacks.
- During these waves, players will work alongside famous manga characters such as Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, and Armin Arlert.
- Phases: In each wave, there are two phases:
- Preparation phase: Players will place cannons and ammunition based on the current status of the Titan invasion.
- Defense Phase: Players will fight the Titans and prevent them from attacking civilians.

- To win the game: Players must activate the final mission with Eren. To reach this stage, they will have to endure a certain number of cycles and have completed a certain number of missions unlocked throughout the game.
- Thus, the main objective is to prevent civilians from suffering from the attacks of the titans.
- If at any point in the game a player has too many losses, they will lose the game.
- How to kill a titan? There are three ways the game developers have hinted at how to kill titans:
- Using VME: Vertical maneuver equipment is a set of special skills and swords.
- From a rooftop, hold down the right mouse button and stop in mid-air by releasing the button.
- The Titan can be killed by jumping near its neck.
- Shooting on Titan: Players must first assemble a cannon with a wooden ammo box, then move to interact with a Titan to help the cannon focus on the target.
- Ask for help: Players can get help from other players.
- They should identify soldiers on high ground and give them the task of destroying a nearby Titan.
- Using VME: Vertical maneuver equipment is a set of special skills and swords.

- Game resources: Although the game is free to play and can be played even without an initial NFT, it is worth noting that Attack on Titan: Invasion has in-game collections of NFTs that players can purchase for a better gaming experience.
- VME main house: The main casing, which is placed on the lower back, is the largest component of the vertical maneuvering equipment and contains two independent shafts that coil steel cables to trap or propel the user. It sells for $39 SAND.
- VME right blade: Typically dual-wielded, this compact sword is deadly and efficient. Short enough to allow mid-air maneuvers and long enough to inflict serious wounds on a Titan, it is the operational component that makes the vertical maneuver team so important in the fight against the Titan invasion. It sells for $14 SAND.
- S4 key: A master key in the game. It sells for $5 SAND.

Remove: In July, The Sandbox, along with the companies Minto and Copro Corporation, received authorization from the intellectual property owner, Kodansha Ltd.
- The partnership produced “Attack on Titan Land” within the Ethereum-based metaverse gaming platform and produced real estate NFTs.
- These NFTs produced a LAND sale, offering enthusiasts to purchase virtual real estate minted as NFTs in the “Attack on Titan” area of The Sandbox.
- According to a Press releaseThe collaboration aims to bring the franchise’s post-apocalyptic world to life in a new interactive format.
Key quote:
“’Attack on Titan’ is much more than a Japanese manga series set in a dark post-apocalyptic fantasy world. “It has conquered the world and has become a global anime and film phenomenon.”
