Although it looks pretty, it's fundamentally a complete waste of time. Titan Souls features a somewhat expansive overworld. Gee, I wonder how I set the unlit torches aflame. In fact, you'll slaughter the titans with nothing but retribution in your heart. It was sentimental and captivating while Titan Souls is ironically soulless and emotionally uninvolving. I don't find this comparison justified in the slightest because Shadow of the Colossus was set in a captivating world where you strategically and methodically take down enormous creatures and immediately feel guilty for ending their lives. Talk about adding frustration to an already aggravating control scheme.Īs a side note, many have compared Titan Souls to Shadow of the Colossus since both games are mainly about taking down bosses. They probably did this just because Dark Souls did it, too, but guess what? In Dark Souls, you can actually move your character when you're in the "pause" menu. One thing about the controls that drives me insane is how pausing does not indeed pause the game. Luckily, the little guy can magically draw it back to him by holding the attack button. The hero only has one all-powerful arrow so retrieving it is essential to success. Merely tapping the attack button does nothing which is intensely irritating because when you're fighting a boss and are close enough to literally stab them with the arrow but don't have enough time to charge you're basically screwed. This is due to the fact that there's no clear indication of where you're aiming, and using your bow requires some time to charge it. Although this sounds simple, using your bow effectively is ultimately a frustrating experience. You control the hero by running around, rolling out of harm's way, and attacking by aiming and charging your bow.

TITAN SOULS CHARACTER SKIN
Overall, it's a well produced package, but at times beauty is only skin deep. Sound effects are subtle yet suit the onscreen events wonderfully. To accompany the lovely visuals, an equally brilliant orchestral score plays throughout your adventure. The hero and all of the titans also move fluidly which only further establishes the lively atmosphere. The environments are animated well since trees and grass sway in the breeze as you run around the game world.

That's about the entire plot that you're provided, so it's off to kill some titans! Visually, the game features a beautiful mix of 2D pixel-art and 3D models that blend seamlessly together. You play as a hero who must defeat the titans with his trusty bow and arrow. 👍 This fellow looks like he doesn't take any guff │ Video Chums loves promoting hard-working indie devs so check out our Indie Game of the Month Awards and Rapid Fire Reviews. Does Titan Souls live up to its hype or is it nothing but an overrated disappointment? This hype warrants high expectations from gamers, but it isn't always a guarantee of quality. Once in a while, an indie game comes out with a lot of hype attached.
