‘Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion' Shows Off Its Customization Setup

'Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion' is released this September. Following the reveal of Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion coming to Switch 2 this September, we have a breakdown on the game's customization setup. Now, back in April, when I covered the Switch 2 news, a bunch of videos were released alongside explaining how the game worked. These videos were in Japanese, but it was pretty clear how the game operated. What's a little bit odd is that Marvelous USA is just re-releasing these videos every few weeks in English, with the latest customization one shown below. We already had something similar for the combat basics a few weeks back, so I'm not really sure what kind of promotion strategy this is, but it's nice to know that Marvelous is at least aware that the game exists within their sizable software library. Anyway, as for this customization breakdown, you can really see the Armored Core lineage at work here, as much of this team came from those games. I'm still digging the newer, more compact power armor approach, and the mecha design work by Shoji Kawamori is as great as it always is.

The reason I am a tad wary of this is that the first Daemon X Machina was more airborne and closer to the functionality seen in Armored Core 4 and Armored Core For Answer. Whether they are downplaying this aspect or the game is genuinely like this is hard to tell for sure at present, but if this is another promotion strategy, it does feel a tad odd. Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is released for Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on September 5. Follow me on X, Facebook and YouTube. I also manage Mecha Damashii and am currently featured in the Giant Robots exhibition currently touring Japan.
