It may not be as big a name as Mario Kart World or Donkey Kong Bananza, but Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion was one of the biggest reveals of the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct for certain audience members. Namely, mech sickos. Now, the sequel to a cult hit Switch action game has shown off a bit more of how its combat will work, and it’s surprisingly got more than a little Monster Hunter packed into its robotic frame.
The original Daemon X Machina is essentially a spiritual successor to Armored Core (released before FromSoftware revived the series with 2023’s Fires of Rubicon), featuring giant mechs blasting away at each other with missiles and lasers. Titanic Scion switches things up a bit, focusing on smaller exosuits, which has put some fans of the original game on edge. However, the switch to nimbler suits also comes with a vicious addition to melee combat that will have players ripping enemies about with their bare robotic hands.
