The action online RPG Wild Buster, banned from Steam some time ago for review manipulation, returns in the open beta under the new name Champions of Titan.
Wild Buster is back!
Return in open beta. Wild Buster was a promising action RPG, but due to review manipulation by the then-publisher Insel Games, the title was banned from Steam. The same fate befell Guardians of Ember. Unfair to the developers who had nothing to do with it.
Just like Guardians of Ember, Wild Buster is also making a comeback. However, it is now under the new name Champions of Titan. The new publisher IDC Games has now launched the open beta.
Play via Steam or the standalone launcher. While Guardians of Ember is currently unavailable on Steam, IDC Games was able to offer Champions of Titan (again) through Valve’s platform. Therefore, it’s up to you how you want to play. Either through Steam or through the standalone launcher, which you can download from the official game website.
Release still in 2018. IDC Games states that the open beta is expected to run for several weeks. The official release of the action RPG is still planned for 2018.
Reviews are mixed. The current (though still quite few) reviews on Steam show a mixed picture.
- The grind, balancing, and linear levels are criticized.
- The developers still need to work on controls and comfort functions. For example, there is no sorting function in the inventory, and you cannot click to move to the location you want to go to.
- The servers run quite stable, but if you disconnect, you will be thrown from the party and have to start the level over.
- However, the battles are said to be enjoyable, reminiscent of a mix between MOBA and Diablo.
- At the beginning, the game is said to be a bit slow, but as you progress, the challenges become more exciting. According to some players, Champions of Titan is designed for endgame content.
- The boss fights feel challenging and interesting. Each boss requires a different strategy.
