Fun game, maybe only buy on sale
The gameplay in Titan Souls turned out to be more fun than I expected. I only bought it to try it because of a 90% discount, and I was pleasantly surprised by it. The main loop of the game is killing the titular titans using only your one arrow that needs to be picked back up after every shot, with sprinting and dodge rolling mixed in. Each boss fight has a quirk or gimmick that is the key to beating it, which makes each fight less of a back and forth between attacking and defending (like you'd expect from a souls-like) and more like a puzzle requiring thinking and well-timed shots. Outside of the boss fights themselves, you have the overworld which you travel to find each boss; Sometimes hidden bosses too which are quite nice to find. All of that said, I might have had fewer positive feelings for this game if I hadn't bought it on sale because of how empty it feels. The gameplay is nice and rewarding, yes, but you have no context to what you're doing and why you're doing it. This makes the game feel void of a certain something that could make it a very memorable game. I feel like I'm killing these things because it's a game and that's what you do in it, and not because there's something bigger at play.
Is this helpful to you?
