The upcoming Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion has gotten some more trailers showing off the game’s new Heavy Armor and character Fusion System.
Now that Titanic Scion has opted to go down the power armor route, the Heavy Armor setup is akin to having the original Arsenal mecha from the first Daemon X Machina in the game.
These Heavy Armors are called into gameplay, and you can then get inside them, Matryoshka doll style, and unleash a lot more firepower.
Unlike the Arsenals, the Heavy Armors have a set configuration and can also transform into a high-speed flight mode.
For me, it’s just great to see Shoji Kawamori’s mecha design work on display in an even bigger way in the game (shown below).

As for the Fusion System, this is an extension of the character upgrade setup from the first game.
Collecting genes from fallen enemies will allow you to upgrade your human body, which in turn will unlock special skills.
However, the more upgrades you do, the more you turn into a monster, which again is similar to the first game, although that turned you into a cyborg of sorts.
In any case, I am glad we are getting to see more of the game in action, especially for the bigger Heavy Armor stuff.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion will be released on September 5 for Switch 2, PlayStation, 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, via Steam.
