Titanium Court is a fae-fueled adventure that threatens to drown in whimsy

Explaining what Titanium Court actually is to someone is more difficult than you’d imagine. It’s a game that’s already picked up GOTY buzz from some big names. It’s a roguelite match-3 strategy game with visual novel intervals. It’s a game where you drink a love potion, but instead of causing a non-consensual obsession with another person, it just makes you kind of like baseball more — even though the people at the court aren’t sure what baseball is. There’s a lot of sports imagery going on here, actually. 

Titanium Court is earnest. Titanium Court is whimsical. Titanium Court may actually be too whimsical. It’s a theatre kid made manifest as a video game. There are people who are going to laugh delightedly and often while playing this game — and there are some really funny moments and clever lines to enjoy. Other players are going to either find it a little too esoteric and opaque, or they may even think it’s downright cringe.
