    Shadow of the Colossus + Fez + Link to the Past + Dark Souls + Journey = Titan Souls. I know that sounds like a mix of a bunch of perfect games and that's because it is.

    Do I really need to explain that I like epic boss fights? The design and gameplay is worthy enough to compensate for the lack of story. Go get it NOW.

    Enjoyed it thoroughly.

    There are no throw away enemies, so very little wasted time. It has a wonderful soundtrack and fun mechanics with a pretty art style. From the beginning it doesn't choke out your interest with a boring story, you just fight bosses with a bow and arrow. Just one arrow, you need to pick it up. Avoid enemy attacks and shoot the weak point of the boss.

    Fairly challenging.

    If you're into games like Shadow of the Colossus and Dark Souls, then this is the game you should be playing. There are only boss monsters, but each one of them is unique and fun (and incredibly hard).

    By the way, the music is AWESOME!

    Basically:

    you get one arrow and the bosses die with one hit. Thats the challenge.

    The game is all about boss fights, theres nothing else.
    The soundtrack is amazing
    IF you die, there are checkpoints right outside the boss areas, the check points also points you to the direction of the boss
    The fights are tough
    The art is really good

    Forget all the negative reviews from the Call of Duty rejects who couldn't beat the first few bosses. This is old school gaming at it's finest.

    Titan souls is a very good boss-game it really focuses on the concept of dificult and you keep getting the same weapon, which makes it harder for the user to go ahead.
    I really like the graphics and the soundtrack btw ;)

    The game provides ultimately hard ànd fun boss fighting, no npc, no quest, no word just an arrow and your skill, really challenging play through but not for inpatient player as you might need to revive several time before finding a boss's weakness and how it attack before defeating it. No storyline make it doesn't suit for people that want to find out about mystery in the game.

    Titan Souls is a bosh rush game placed into a rustic fortress where exploration and discovering lairs of the titans, and of course, defeating the titans is the goal. I played through the game on both normal and hard mode. I enjoyed this game, it was worth it. The type of person that enjoys fast-paced boss fights that require spot-on movement and accuracy will find this game satisfying.

    Si tuviese que describir este juego en una sola palabra, sería minimalismo. Es increíble como en 3-4 horas y UN punto principal, consigue divertir y variar tanto.

    Básicamente va de una persona cualquiera que se encuentra en un vasto mundo lleno de titanes, criaturas mucho más imponentes y aparentemente poderosas que él. Al más puro estilo Shadow of the Collosus, iremos derrotando a distintos titanes con nuestra única arma, el arco. El combate es el focus del juego. Este es fluídisimo, es súper gratificante simplemente combatir, aunque te mueras. El movimiento está súper bien hecho y el arco se maneja muy bien.

    Los bosses, lo principal... Son perfectos. Simplemente eso. Los combates tienen 2 fases: la primera, encontrar el punto débil y la segunda a darle al punto débil. Eso hace que los primeros intentos de un jefe, él se sienta desconocido, ya que no sabes qué hay que hacer realmente. Consiguen que de una flecha salgan varias mecánicas bastante originales y divertidas.

    Visualmente, es muy bonito, con entornos variados y un pixel art simple pero muy bonico. La música es como yo lo llamo "hacer un Breath of The Wild". Esto es no poner música en el overworld y en los combates poner para que sean más épicos, y lo hace muy bien. Transmite muy bien esa sensación de soledad ante un mundo tan grande.

    Titan Souls me ha parecido un juegardo en toda regla que todo el mundo debería jugar aunque fuera solo una vez.    … Expand

    Ótimas batalhas contra chefes, para quem gosta de um bom desafio.

    Pontos Positivos:
    + Cada batalha é um quebra cabeça exigindo estratégia e habilidade
    + ambiente e música bem imersivos

    Pontos Negativos
    + A exploração no cenário entre batalhas é meio chata.

    For 15 bucks this game Is really good and really really challenging, The only downside for it is that is short and I mean really short I finished it in only one sitting like 3 hours only, Also there is no story if you were looking for that, This game for me is definitely worth the 15 bucks.

    Titan Souls is one of those "Souls Like" game but in 2d, except that here there is no Xp, respawn, mobs, puzzles and so on.

    The game itself is a Boss Slayer, that is, there are only bosses in the game, the difference is: You, and the enemy, die with only 1 blow, but the bosses with all their moves, and you with a bow, with only 1 arrow.

But can you ever know how tired and irritated I was by this endless running through those huge and totally empty locations. Slooooow running.
    In general, it's kind a cool game, but become tedious even before the boss fight, and not compensating by something else, like the story. A little raw project, in my opinion. But much better than for me, it will be good to ardent lovers of pain and suffering. And I might come back to finish the achievements.    … Expand

    I came into Titan Souls with little knowledge of the game itself, beyond hearing it was pretty hard, and I’d watched a brief YouTube video that, if I’d paid more attention, would have demonstrated I was setting myself up for a fall.

As you might recall from my last review, Keebles, I struggle with too much of a challenge and lack the patience to keep one’s controller intact after many cheap deaths. However, I was taken in by the sweet pixelly graphics of Titan Souls.

    The game opens with your little guy wandering around in a temple area, with just his bow and single arrow to defend against some pretty nasty enemies. I initially started out using keyboard controls, but quickly found that to be both frustrating and physically painful, so I spent an extremely irritating amount of time figuring out which console gamepad I could use. After several failed attempts, I managed to get my PS4 controller working with Steam and away I went.

    The first enemy I fought was a bouncing blob with a heart inside. It was clear I needed to release the heart from the blob, and then shoot it, but of course, it wasn’t that easy. Each time you shot the blob, it divided (and became more aggressive), and so you then had to contend with multiple enemies. After several shots, you could end up with a large amount of small (and fast) bouncing blobs each leaving slime trails to trap you. If you were hit by a blob, you were instantly dead. I spent far too long yelling at my screen about this, and nearly got to the point of giving up, but I persevered and it eventually paid off. And I must say: the satisfaction you get from destroying your first enemy after dying so many times was so worth it.

    Feeling like I was getting the hang of it, I moved on to the next enemy, which was a brain inside a block of ice. Again, this was a very aggressive enemy (sensing a theme here). A flame would regularly spurt from the centre of the room, and due to playing many RPGs in my life, I instinctively knew that I needed to shoot my arrow through the flame to hit the enemy’s ice shield, thus leaving the brain unprotected. I took out this enemy in short order and derived great satisfaction from absorbing its soul.

    The final boss of the level was a stone golem with two very smashy fists. One fist would pursue you, while the other protected a jewel in the golem’s chest. Some fancy ducking and weaving is necessary before expertly (or luckily, in my case) timing your shot just as the fists swap places. For some reason I thought that was the end of the game and I was considering it a bit of a rip-off, until I realised that no, there are more levels to play – the game has a total of 20 bosses, in fact. The doors to the first level opened, and in I went, stepping on a floorplate, to be lifted to a new area – one with far more places to explore and pixelly scenery to admire, including a range of different environments (I explored a snow area with a stark beauty).

    Despite my frustration at the difficulty of Titan Souls, I do understand that’s a big part of its appeal to many gamers. After 80 minutes of gameplay, my death count was 62, so that’s probably a good indicator of what to expect. The game requires patience and practice, and if you stick with it, you’ll be rewarded with a satisfying payoff. I would definitely insist you play with a gamepad because the keyboard controls are just not responsive and fine enough for some of the fast dodging and shooting you need to do. The gamepad gives you greater range of movement and your tendons will thank you later. The graphics are sweet and nostalgic, and the lilting piano score is subtle and ambient. Little touches like wind swirls, and trees swaying give a nice amount of movement to the scenery. Don’t forget to take a dip if you come across a body of water.    … Expand

Titan Souls is a Top-Down Action game in the styling of Shadow of the Colossus and, to a lesser extent, Dark Souls developed by Acid Nerve. The premise of the game is that you have 1 arrow, and everything (Including you) dies in 1 hit. You have to explore a vast (Though empty) overworld, finding and slaying bosses. Each boss is a fun and creative puzzle. For instance, the final boss of the first area covers his weak spot with his hands, so he can't be hit by your arrow. He takes his hands off, however, to drop his fists on you. You have to shoot him while he's switching hands to hit you with. The engine feels smooth, the controls (On controller at least) feel great, and the bosses are all unique and fun to figure out. The soundtrack is wonderful, and so is the graphic design. However, this game is an example of quality over quantity, as the game is around 2 or 3 hours long, and can be completed in under 15 minutes if you don't die. I'm ok with 2 or 3 hour campaigns on $3 games, but with Titan Souls running for the full $15, I can't find it in my heart to recommend this game unless it's on at least a 50% sale.… Expand

    By betting everything on just one gameplay feature, Acid Nerve eschewed the story and role-playing elements, so the resulting game is just a string of 19 boss fights, awkwardly crammed into the game's world.
