I feel like very few people truly enjoyed the original Daemon X Machina, released back in 2019, besides myself and my colleague Kyle Nicol. Even if it was too similar to Armored Core (it was created by the same person behind a ton of that franchise’s titles), I fell for its amazing presentation and gameplay loop. I wanted more from the series, and I finally got what I wanted… sort of. Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion was one of my most anticipated games of 2025, and I have a lot of good th...
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is an outstanding dark sci-fi experience thanks to its memorable plot and cast, highly customizable armored suits, in-depth combat, and addictive exploration.
Daemon x Machina: Titanic Scion is a fast paced mech combat game, with an impressive world to explore and so many customisation options.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is the sequel to the original 2019 hit, but by name alone. Many things remain familiar, but changes hinted at in the title are visible, audible, and tangible. Game Name: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Platform(s): PC (reviewed), PS5, Xbox Series X|S Developer(s): Marvelous First…
Open-world sequels are a risky venture. Sometimes a winning formula can’t be transplanted into open spaces without consequences. But Titanic Scion manages the shift. Your time in this massive world is focused on that critical combat/custom/upgrade gameplay loop, so you never feel lost or shiftless. I could do with fewer load times, and the routine gear scrutiny does mess with the pacing. But once you’re actually out in the world, mixing it up, the game flows quite beautifully. I can’t get enough of that core loop, at least once it gets going. If you’re looking for an enormous mecha RPG with tons of customization and a captivating story, then Titanic Scion is exactly what you need.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Review - A solid entry that, although it has shortcomings, ultimately delivers a game made for mecha fans.
Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion shakes off the comparisons to Armored Core by boldly reinventing itself. Instead of chasing bigger mechs, the sequel embraces smaller, faster Arsenals and drops them into an expansive open world packed with enemies, secrets, and massive boss encounters. Whether you’re tinkering with builds in the garage, teaming up with friends online, or testing your latest creation against towering foes, Titanic Scion finally feels like the series finding its own identity.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a worthy sequel to the original Daemon X Machina, as it improves on its predecessor in nearly every regard. From a turbulent and action-packed main story to a comprehensive weapon and gear system, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion ensures players feel the weight of their Arsenals. Although online content could be better, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion still offers streamlined ways to play with friends on top of the main dozens of hours of content that are alr...
There’s nothing in this world as cool as a giant robot. The first Daemon X Machina made that explicably clear. So, it’s something of a surprise to find that Titanic Scion, the brand-new entry in the anime-fuelled mech series, initially swaps out the mechs of the first game and replaces them with Exosuits. It’s suddenly more Anthem than Armoured Core, and while that’s initially something of a disappointment, it makes way for a faster, more immediate combat experience that gives you a ton of customisation options as you set forth on a mission for revenge.
It's been a long time since the first game released and now that Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is here, let's suit-up and check it out.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is an all-new entry in the third-person mech shooter series, the return of unforgettable Arsenal action.
Despite not living up to its full potential on Switch 2, Daemon X Machina is still an incredibly fast-paced and fun action RPG.

While Titanic Scion’s narrative trods familiar sci-fi anime territory, it’s delivered well enough. Characters are bombastic and overacted, but it creates a fun narrative environment. Outfitting your Arsenal gives you a ton of customization options, and the open world creates plenty of opportunities to explore and spread your wings. Unfortunately, technical issues are problematic across the platforms we played on. That said, anyone jonesin’ for a mech game fix will still find a good time...
I don’t know if Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is going to turn me into a fan of these mecha games, but I certainly enjoyed the combat and design enough that I’m keen to check out some more to see if I do like something about the genre after all. Just be aware that the performance is pretty suspect at times. If you can handle that, then this is certainly an ambitious and entertaining sci-fi game for on the go.
Despite some disappointing design choices, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a blast for anyone who loves constantly tinkering with their builds and isn’t overly concerned with a compelling narrative.
Just like the Arsenals the game revolves around, Daemon x Machina: Titanic Scion has a very strong core, but one that frequently comes under attack. The central loop of finding new gear and experimenting with new builds and playstyles remains satisfying long after the credits roll, and there's a plethora of engaging side content for players who want the most bang for their buck. However, Titanic Scion's performance on the Nintendo Switch 2 and some clunky narrative choices often hold it back from reaching its full potential.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a direct sequel to 2019's Daemon X Machina. Don't worry about that, though.. These games may have stories, but they're not about them; they're about mech combat. And on that front, Titanic Scion delivers.Read More
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion has a neat premise and fun ways of customizing your character and your Arsenal to meet the different combat challenges found in its world. It’s unfortunate that the world itself feels lifeless at times, with repetitive enemy encounters and side missions. The best moments are when you come across a gigantic Immortal that you just know will require the combined might of co-op partners, be they real or NPC, but you make a solo attempt anyways, only to be smashed to pieces, which is a humbling experience. Those interested in online multiplayer will be glad to know…
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion has the makings of a classic, but the determination to hit the reset button on the franchise means that this game often feels like taking the first steps once again. A degree of intrigue with the plot was enough to string me along, but does little to elevate this one above purely serviceable.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion builds upon its predecessor in a number of ways, and is undoubtedly better as a result. There's still lots of room for further improvement though, with issues such as drab visuals and a dull open world watering down the otherwise engrossing experience of building your dream mech.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion clearly takes inspiration from the Xenoblade Chronicles series with huge open maps and deeply customizable mech suits. The game nails the customization and has some cool ideas all its own, like the superb fusion system. Unfortunately, it does very little with its open spaces, and they aren’t particularly visually interesting. With bland interior levels, shallow side missions, and rather listless combat, it’s ultimately a game that feels half-baked.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion makes a rough first impression. After creating your custom protagonist, you're thrust straight into a chaotic action sequence with next to no explanation of controls or mechanics.
The framework of an excellent mech game is here, but the execution is flawed in several areas. This sequel introduces an open world that feels lifeless and looks two console generations old. Mechanically, Titanic Scion fires on all cylinders. All the mech customization you could want is here. But with a lopsided difficulty curve and floaty movement, there's only so much fun that can be had before frustration kicks in.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a decent mech game with plenty of depth in its weapons setups and lots of cool loot to discover in its large open-world maps. The combat is flexible, it's fast, and it's very often plenty of fun. However, performance issues — which are also present on other platforms, so don't sweat it too much, Switch 2 owners — make for a janky experience in places, with mushy controls and limp feedback. It's just not nearly as polished as it could be in this respect. With stutters loading into new areas and low-res textures a common sight (again, also on other systems), the overall feeling here is of a game that needs a few patches and tweaks to get it where it needs to be.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion has fun combat, but is let down by its boss design, lacklustre story, and a host of other issues.
The sequel to 2019's Daemon X Machina has some big ideas. Unfortunately, it often fails to execute on them properly.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion isn’t ready for launch. The performance and balance issues sour what could have been an excellent mecha experience. There are a few bright patches, interesting ideas, and a ton of potential for the game. It could be, and maybe it will be better in a few updates' time, but it’s not worth checking out at launch.
Six years ago, Marvelous Entertainment debuted a new mech series called Daemon X Machina for the Switch that promised players a broad adventure full of robot customisation, a dazzling world and a memorable story. It delivered on about half of those promises. Fast forward to now, and we’ve got a sequel in Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion. Now a multiplatform release with more to do than ever, a continuation of its story and what looks to be a bigger budget, you’d hope the kinks and issues w...
I was skeptical at first, but after spending 30 hours with Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, this sequel is a night-and-day improvement.
