What a game! If you're looking for how SWADE does spy-sci, this is it. The core settings book does a terrific job of creating a framework, complete with setting perspective, sample character archetypes, faction info, scenario ideas, some monster-types, etc. Even a mission generator. Just the right amount of gear and weapons. Love the detail.

AND lets me as a DM consider the level of SWADE-type powers I want in the game (via a super powers book I could buy...or they give you alternate rules if you don't want that in your game.)

Setting feels on-brand for SWADE. Just enough detail. I even like how the book is laid out so I can tell players to avoid the "Director" / GM section. Get this game.

Very good SWADE setting, with nice superhuman feel. Loyal to Savage Worlds design spirit. Very pleasant read. Buy it!

To be honest, Titan Effect is probably one of the best RPG setting I ever read. If a modern, near-future espionage world with supernatural threats appeals you, you will have a complete sandbox with this book to create a lot of stories similar to Agents of the SHIELD, or latest Metal Gear games. Players characters will be operators with psychic supernatural powers and your players will enjoy it a lot! In addition, SWADE is a very well-chosen system to emulate action scenes, the book has a very elegant design and is really well-written (you will read the setting chapters like a novel!) A complete blast for me!

Your immediate reception to the world of Titan Effect is the highly pleasing cover art. That trend continues shortly after digging into the book, when the reader is yanked by the collar into a mission with S.P.E.A.R. with a brilliantly inked short comic. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and Knight Errant Media has given you a million reasons to get into their world here. The art throughout the book is frequent, and there's no discernible decrease in quality. That's cool and all, but is the game worth playing? I'd say so, and I can't wait to get into it. You've got pyschics, bio-augmented soldiers, enough factions to flesh out a game world that is living, moving, and never leaves you with a dull moment. The author has gone to great lengths to provide ample backstory for the world so that players aren't constantly faced with breaking immersion from disbelief, and the alternate history timeline that leads up to the adventures is covered with the same care and attention to detail as the robust factions and kick-ass art. The mechanics included by the author have had years of refinement, with this edition being slightly lighter on them because some mechanics from earlier editions have made their way into SWADE proper. There's a few delightful tables, including one for a mission generator that can help a seasoned GM run a session with minimal prep time. Though it's meant to use the Superpowers Companion, they've even seen fit to detail an adaptation so that players with only the SWADE rules can still get in, though with the disclaimer that it's closer to the designer's vision with the companion. Closing out the book there's another comic, more of an intriguing character background study than action movie trailer, though it adds to the experience. Shortly after that, you get to one of my favorite quality of life improvements possible in getting TTRPGs in pdf form: An interactive table of contents that can take you directly to the section you need to revisit or double check a rule or fact from. All in all, the book is a massive value for the price: If a book with this amount of content was released from WotC or even Chaosium, it'd have a $50 price tag on it, minimum. If you already have SWADE, it's a bargain, and it's an absolute steal if you have the superpowers companion as well. If you're a fan of modern tactical espionage/scifi, or even if you just enjoyed Agents of Shield and think it would make a cool TTRPG, you have GOT to get this book.
