Titans of the Past

Oh my! I bought this as part of a bundle, but quickly decided that this game was far more engaging than the one I had initially gone to the store to purchase. The way the time mechanic works is really worth wrapping your head around as it's easy to fall into the trap of letting all of your party members being stuck waiting for their recovery. That being said, managing each fight (as in each time the party kicks in a door), hasn't yet become even remotely boring. I absolutely love the free aim that's possible, even allowing one to target mobs on different levels. In my first adventure, I got into an archery duel with a bunch of bandits on a different floor. Meanwhile, a number of rats and various melee mobs ran upstairs to zap me. Did I mention this one is highly recommended?

Great idea. I love the way turns are managed; it makes movement & ability activation / attacks feel very tactical. All choices matter, as does your timing. It reminds me of Dark & Darker PVE sometimes: you have to learn the attack patterns of mobs and use visual & audio cues to know when to push, when to dodge, etc. This just adds the element of turns: stop moving and time stops, giving you a moment to think. Cycle thru the party members, look at cooldown timers, look around for cover or flanking enemies, then make your next move. I would like to hope these devs continue adding map/dungeon content, as that seems to be the primary shortcoming at the moment. I've played a few hours and have seen the same handful of maps again and again. I'd love to see a user-accessible map editor / Workshop accessibility in the future. Being able to download user-created maps & dungeons might be a big help for content variety. Unfortunately, I'm getting the sense that this game may have already been abandoned due to poor sales. The Steam discussion boards have a fair bit of back and forth on this topic. I'll keep my eye on this one, and if it turns out the Devs are actively upkeeping their game, then I may change my review. For now, I recommend you either hold on to your money or do your due diligence first; read the discussion boards and make your own informed decision.

Absolutely loving thios game. What a great new gamestyle with a mixture of real time combat and turn based. The battles are thought provoking and exciting. Its an absolute crime this game hasnt gotten more traction. Highly reccomended for purcahse at full price if you like D&D style RPGs (battles / not story driven). Spread the word too!
