(I mean Bloodborne will only last you so long.) And if you want, you can get a taste of Titan Souls by trying the game jam version online now. If that's exciting to you, Titan Souls may be your thing. There's a difficulty threshold and Titan Souls crosses it at times. I'm not sure it's a journey I'm willing to take on, but I can understand why it might be exciting to some. In that moment I could almost see the mountaintop that Dark Souls players like Bob aim for on a regular basis.
#TITAN SOULS CHARACTER BOW FULL#
When I finally finished the fight, I pumped my fist in personal glory and moved on to fight the next boss, full of misplaced confidence. Out of the bosses, I only finished the slime. These are only the first few bosses in Titan Souls. Finishing the fight is a matter of planning, timing, and sheer reflexes. The last fight I described? The flame is only lit in the brief time when the boss is sliding across the button.
You have to get it to press the button and shoot an arrow through the flame to hurt the boss.ĭescribing these encounters doesn't bring across how painfully tight the timing is. Occasionally while it's sliding in your direction, it'll depress one of four buttons, which activates a flame in the center of the level. Or the disembodied brain that slides around the battlefield inside an ice cube. There's a stone statue that covers its vulnerable heart with one hand while it tries to kill you with the other that fight is about hitting the heart in the small window between when the hands switch positions. That battle is about timing it so that you're facing the eye when pops up, but you're not directly in the path of the laser. One of the faces is an eye that shoots lasers. There's another that's a cube that rolls around the arena on its faces. Eventually, you'll be left with a heart flopping around and one hit with your arrow will win the day. That means you have to focus only on damaging the slime that has the heart in it. Shooting the non-heart side works against you that only creates smaller, faster slimes to hunt you down. When the boss splits after taking damage, the heart ends up in one of the smaller slimes and they begin to move independently. You can choose a different boss, but why not go with the devil you know? Titan Souls has no lives, only endless waves of death. (Oh, did I mention there's no life bar or armor? Everything here is a one-hit kill.) When you die, you're teleported back out to the glowing sigil. It leaps slowly about the room and if you shoot it, it splits into two smaller slimes that jump just a bit faster. The first boss at its lowest point.Ĭhoosing the most-immediate door will lead you to you first boss: a giant heart inside an even-bigger slime mold. This choice is the most leisurely and measured you'll have during you entire time in Titan Souls. Each door leads to a boss and you can tackle them in any order.
#TITAN SOULS CHARACTER BOW SERIES#
Further exploration uncovers a series of doors. Don't worry, you'll find out what that is soon. A bit of exploration uncovers a glowing sigil on the floor, one whose purpose remains shrouded in mystery at this point. The game drops you in the middle of ruin.
It's one thing to know what to do, it's another to have the skills and reflexes to pull it off. No, what Titan Souls asks for is execution. The patterns aren't even that hard to figure out for the four bosses I attempted.
Like the games of old, every boss has a specific pattern you have to exploit to beat them. What Titan Souls does have is painfully-hard bosses. You can dodge roll and run slightly faster. Your only special move is the ability to call your single arrow back to you after you've shot it. You have one weapon, your trusty bow with a single arrow as far as I can tell, I don't think that weapon will ever be upgraded. The easiest way to understand Titan Souls is to imagine a particularly hard Legend of Zelda game with all the exploration and puzzles stripped out.
