Reviews de Titan Souls

The Sixth Axis

One hit point, one arrow and one target; Titan Souls is an exercise in simplicity. It evokes memories of classic games, as you seek the satisfaction of striking that killing blow to a Titan. Except they are waiting for you, and though I feel there are a few bosses that are particularly difficult, this is a game that deliberately provides the kind of unforgiving challenge, and trial and error gameplay, that people will either love or hate. 8/10

My normal difficulty run through, save for some exasperation at the final two titans, did make for good pacing. Death or victory come quickly because, for the most part, the titans are designed to leave you few opportunities to win. Running around and staying alive isn't an impressive feat because you're no closer to winning. The moments of opportunity are designed to put you in harms way -- surely killing you should you miss the shot -- doubling down on an intense thrill. The quickness with which these things kill you makes you always feel perpetually. That you often have to stare down these charging killers, like drawing an arrow against an oncoming train with a baseball-sized weak point, is exhilarating. 8/10

In an interview, the director of Dark Souls Hidetaka Miyazaki once referred to a game’s health bar as the character’s ‘will to live’. The lower the bar, the more determined and desperate a player will become to stay alive in those split seconds. Anyone who has played Miyazaki’s masterpiece knows this feeling all too well—you’ve been flattened by some horrible boss, you can’t just cure because you’ll be killed instantly, so you’ve just got to get in that one pixel perfect dodge on the enemies next attack and you’ll have a window to cure yourself. Time to test your nerve!

Titan Souls is a game about that moment. That frantic scramble to keep yourself alive, whilst trying to finish off whatever it is that is trying to finish you. 87/100

IGN

Titan Souls’ sparse world and lore is merely the delivery device for its creative fights that hinge on your perception and skillful mastery of its simple, yet fluid and responsive controls. Though the experience is short, it’s potent, as weathering every titan’s impossibly lethal storm and finding that one true strike is an excellent and intoxicating retelling of David versus Goliath each time. And should you survive the punishing menagerie of monsters, having mastered each bout, Titan Souls raises the stakes and the difficulty, daring you to shoot to kill and do it better. 8/10

Polygon

There's a kind of satisfaction to be had in beating Titan Souls' meat grinder, but I only found a feeling of triumph at those points where it stepped away from its die-hard tendencies. In a game that usually kills so quickly, Acid Nerve finds its best moments when its willing to spare the rod, even if it's just for a few minutes. 6.5/10

Edge

Titan Souls proves that what works as a prototype does not necessarily translate to final product, that austerity only goes so far, and that some pitches are best left in the elevator. 5/10
