Branching Path: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion PC settings breakdown

Six months following its Nintendo Switch debut, the PC version of Daemon X Machina was rolled out. Although it boosted the frame rate and resolution, gamers noted that the PC variant fell short in terms of customization options. It didn’t even support basic mouse cursor functionality, forcing players to navigate menus using WASD keys instead. While serviceable, it wasn’t ideal. At this year’s IGN Live event, I had the opportunity to delve into Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, the sequel, and discovered a host of new gameplay elements, as well as an exploration of settings. Thankfully, the developers have taken notice, and Titanic Scion appears to provide a wealth of adjustable sliders and switches for PC users to tinker with. Moreover, this upcoming title offers various accessibility features, such as customizable UI components, text size adjustments, and colorblind settings among others.

In this demonstration, you’ll find all the computer settings currently implemented. Since we’re still working on perfecting the game, there might be minor adjustments to these settings before the final version is released.
