June 8: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion has received not one, but two new trailers that show off the story and particle weapon Combat Support System.
For the story video, we have a look at some of the mysterious enemies, supporting characters, and stylish action-combat against monsters and Arsenals that players will experience. As for the particle weapon Combat Support System, this is a preinstalled modification for Arsenal body armor providing Outers with powerful particle armaments. The three basic systems include Assault Shift (AS), which automatically targets and shoots enemies, Guard Shift (GS), offering a directional shield that nullifies attacks, and Wing Shift (WS), giving players the ability to fly at high speeds. Players can use these particle armaments through the limited resource known as Femto, giving Outers a powerful temporary boost to be used strategically.
