Titan Souls Gameplay : Killing Mushroom, Flower, Olmac, and Old Yeller

Date: 2015-04-22

Titan Souls is another gem from Devolver Digital. Fight your way through a series of Titan bosses and collect their Titan Souls. The gameplay is intense, but lacks some depth.

Boss battles are wonderful, but it could've done with more puzzles. Some bosses are hard to figure out, but most just need to be shot in the eyes. It's almost Shadow of the Colossus, but falls just short.

In this episode we take down the icy brain Brainfreeze, the ancient golem Gol'iath, and the laser shooting Eyecube. Eye cube is probably the hardest of the three because it has to be done so quick.

Between our world and the world beyond lie the Titan Souls, the spiritual source and sum of all living things. Now scattered amongst the ruins and guarded by the idle titans charged with their care, a solitary hero armed with but a single arrow is once again assembling shards of the Titan Soul in a quest for truth and power. 

Colossal Titans: Explore the ancient ruins of your forefathers and uncover extraordinary and unique titans, each with their own savage attacks and hidden weakness. Find and exploit their faults to slay the beasts and consume the primeval power that lies within them. 

Simple Combat: Loose your solitary arrow at the monstrous titans and summon it back to your hand to unleash another forceful strike. Dash and run from the titan’s attacks but do not fear death, as it is both inevitable and plentiful in Titan Souls. 

Arcane Secrets: This realm is not without its secrets. Long forgotten titans are hidden in the shadows and prowling through the furthest corners of the land – find them, destroy them, and take their souls for your own to discover the true extent of the power that resides here.

Titan Souls | Digital Special Edition
The Titan Souls Digital Special Edition includes a digital artbook, world map, full original soundtrack and desktop backgrounds. All files can be found in the game's folder on your hard drive. 

Titan Souls started as a game jam project between Mark Foster, David Fenn, and Andrew Gleeson for Ludum Dare 28 under the prompt “you only get one” leading the single shot, single hit point the game has become known for during development. That original prototype is the basis for the new Titan Souls demo, remade with the final visual style, soundtrack, sound design, and gameplay updates found in the full game.

Titan Souls is an amazing game and definitely one of my favourite titles released this year. Beating it seems impossible at first, but once you figure out where the bosses' weak spots are, and begin to understand the timings, patterns and are able to appropriately gauge the level of risk you start to see the genius behind the game's design philosophy.

It's not about rushing and repeating each boss again and again until you finally make that lucky kill (although this does sometimes work). It's about taking the time to observe and study the creatures, and then plan ahead your movements in order to make that single satisfying kill. There's no inventory, no loot, no progression, no fluff. Instead, there is just your own level of skill, which you will see gradually improve after each and every death (which is almost always your own fault). There is a certain purity of design distilled into each of the 18 bosses and that's what I love the most about this game. Granted it's short, but it's very sweet. New Game+ seems impossible for me to beat right now - but I suspect like the main game I'll eventually be able to figure it out and there will be another moment in the near future where I'll just "get it". -phidinh6

Titan souls is a game about battling bosses. The only gameplay is fighting bosses and traversing the world to get from boss to boss. By cutting out all the fluff titan souls has created a richer experience at the cost of overall playtime. If you're looking for a long game then titan souls might not be the game for you as my first playthrough of the game took 3 hours. That being said I typically beat games in about half the time an average player would take (you can probably expect 4-6 hours of unique gameplay). -TreeEskimo
