Video Game Reviews of Titans of Steel: Warring Suns

Customer Review: A good game for what it's worth.
Summary: 4 Stars

I heard some good things about this game, and some really terrible things. But I knew it was a turn-based strategy game with mechs, and that's the kind of game I was looking for. I'll just say, the first time I installed it and played it, I was frustrated by the controls. It seemed it took decades to get to a fight, and I wondered how anyone could stand it. However, I wasn't giving up. There's an old saying - "I PAID MY MONEY!" Taking a moment to look through the manual, I found and memorized a few of the most important hotkeys. (Alt-right clicking is very good; it makes your mechs walk places automatically in the beginning of the game when there are no enemies in sight. That way you aren't constantly telling your mechs to "Turn, Walk forward, Turn" etc. when you shouldn't even worry about it yet.)Basically, you'll be annoyed by the strange interface until you get used to it. But you can get used to it if you put a little time into getting used to it. Soundwise, the game is decent. The only problem I had was a slight popping noise in one of the ambient sound effects - but that's amazingly easy to fix - just turn off the ambient sounds. (They're all short loops of lave boiling or chemicals bubbling - you won't miss them.) The weapons sound nice, as well as the mechs walking. No real problems here except what I mentioned. Graphics. This is certainly the game's lowest point. But it does what it's supposed to. You know where mechs are, you know if they're recon, medium, heavy, or assault class. You know if they are flying or if they have fallen down. You know which way they are facing... Basically, the graphics serve their purpose, and not too much more. Personally, though, I think this game's graphics are fine. And they are a step up from the free software I was using before. Gameplay is good. It's turn-based strategy at its best. And there's a lot of replayability to be had, here. Go to the HQ and recruit pilots, and upgrade them after battles, in a kind of RPG manner. You'll grow attached to some of your pilots and you will mourn their virtual deaths. Buy mechs and customize every little detail on them, from armor to life-support to weapons, so you go into battle in exactly the way you want. I recommend this game if you want a turn-based combat game or even a mech game. There's plenty of fun to have with this title and it won't put a dent in your pocket to get it.
