Review:

Titan Glory, released on iOS and Nintendo Switch in 2020, is a Third-Person Shooter game that has you piloting mechs in combat against other mechs.

The visuals here look pretty good, using 3D visuals for the different mechs and the large outdoor areas they fight in. It should be noted that there isn’t really music in the game aside from militaristic music in the menus, and as a result the game feels oddly quiet.

As for the gameplay, what’s here is good, but nothing particularly noteworthy. The mechs start out pretty slow and ponderous, but you gradually unlock new ones including faster ones. These mechs can also be upgraded as you earn in-game currency, but these upgrades aren’t the sort of customization you often see in mech games. Rather, you simply boost the power of each part up to five times per part per mech.

The game types here are pretty standard fare for online shooters – deathmatch, team deathmatch, king of the hill, you know the drill. There are temporary boosts to power, speed, the energy needed for shields and so on on the battlefield, but largely this is just going to be a bunch of robots shooting at each other until one gets destroyed or ducks behind a building (most of which cannot be damaged, sadly). It’s not especially thoughtful combat, I’m afraid.

The game’s single-player content is identical to the multiplayer but with computer-controlled bots, and as for the multiplayer… I’m sorry to say that the online lobbies are deserted, so unless you bring your own friends, don’t expect that to do much for you.

It’s a shame that Titan Glory’s gameplay feels so lacking in personality or the sort of customization mech games tend to be known for, and even worse that the empty online servers mean all you’ll be doing is playing multiplayer modes with bots. It feels like there was at least a decent framework to build on here to make a solid game, but beyond the competent core gameplay and decent graphics, this game doesn’t really have much to offer.

tl;dr – Titan Glory is a mech combat game where up to twelve players fight in large outdoor arenas in a standard array of typical online shooter game variants… or at least that would be the case if the online servers weren’t deserted. As a result, this becomes a decent but somewhat uninteresting Third-Person Shooter, without any of the customization or building destruction mech games are usually known for. Not bad, but there’s not much here of interest either.
