Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion

被阴了叫人自作自受直接死？

It is nice game, mix of sucked Anthem and warframe freedom

Titanic Scion is a pretty solid action rpg with mecha trappings for its loadout building. It's a huge improvement over the first game in terms of story telling, gameplay, and world structure, although some aspects of the open world can feel a little sparse or tacked on. The combat feels good, although it can vary a lot from weapon to weapon, and the game does a good job of giving you reasons to change up your loadouts and try new things with its varied boss fights and encounters. Furthermore, there's a ton of content to do and explore, but because pretty much everything drops some kind of equipment, you never quite have to grind something out to progress unless you want to try and get some specific new toys to play with. And the game is very transparent about where and how to get drops too, with loot tables available in menus. The writing has been upgraded from 'bad saturday morning cartoon' to 'ok niche weekday late night anime'; I actually remembered some of the characters' names and faces, and the protagonist actually kinda sounds and acts like a competent, confident combatant, who is directly involved with the story this time around. Weirdly, there are still the sort of "shonen protagonist" NPCs, but the MC tends to show them up in some ways that are fun, with almost the attitude of a professional showing some amateurs how its done. Overall, I was very happy with Titanic Scion, and while I wouldn't get it full price ($70 usd is kinda crazy for this level of production values, especially given I accurately pegged it as a "this'll be in a humble choice soon" at launch), it's a great 'B' game for fans of mecha games and action rpgs.

I never played the first game or even knew about it. That being said I enjoyed this game, I liked the characters and story. I found the game play enjoyable and liked the level designs. Now the RNG was kicking my butt as I couldn't see to find decent equipment, until grabbing a couple mods. Which don't disable achievements. Now its not a ground breaking story and the voice acting some times falls a little off what I think they were going for. I also don't think its a $70 game, unless all the DLC came with it for that price. I'd wait for a sale.

First exposure to this series and honestly, it's an alright game. I would suggest using controller, and changing up the UI elements. The high customizability to everything honestly makes the game for me. The combat is fast and fun, and not too overcomplicated. Exactly what I like, I played all of the Armored Core games, simple but difficult is what I'm here for. The balancing seems a bit off in favor of melee weapons, but I've found a lot of use in handguns and the minigun I picked up an hour ago for firearms. The movement controls are flashy, but clunky. Don't play this for story though. You can tell they tried, but the pacing is all over the place, and the actual narrative is hard to follow. It also blows by in a flash. Three hours in and I'm already on Chapter 10. If the combat wasn't ticking my little goldfish brain I'd probably have dropped this game in the tutorial. The sheer scale of the zones and battles is really cool too, it feels kinda like your the anime protag of an action anime short-series. Campy dialogue and edgy attitude included. Overall I think the game is fun, but is definitely very rough around the edges. Coming from someone who just likes general mecha, and has never touched DxM until this morning.
