Hello, and welcome to Titan Tactics, an in-depth look at the villainous henchmen working for the evil Baron in Sparklite, the retro-inspired action adventure coming to PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One & PlayStation 4 on November 14th! Today, we'll be talking about Boris, the menacing miner who will pulverize any boulder, or anyone, in his way.
Boris, with the help of his rock-devouring wrecking ball, has become one of the Barons top miners. Hes been tasked with trying to enter the Foothills Vault but, to the Barons great disappointment, has so far been unable to break the seal. You could say hes caught between a rock and a hard place
A keen scavenger, Boris was born to dig. His latest project, before siding with the nefarious Baron on his quest to drain Geodia of its natural resources, was helping archaeologists search for Founders relics in the Shifting Sands, a noble enough cause if ever there was one.
However, eventually he became disgruntled by all the do-gooders wanting to protect Geodia and the wildlife found within it. He thought all that nonsense just got in the way of unleashing the relics dormant (yet potentially catastrophic) powers, and that the destruction of the lands natural resources was a small price to pay for this! When the Baron offered him a job leading a crew of gremilns in the mines, he didnt hesitate and soon got to work
When you (Ada), meet Boris, watch out for his vacuum! After pulverizing nearby boulders, The Boring Titan uses the Sparklite Combustors heat to produce an incredibly strong vacuum. The vacuum sucks up any uncrushed rubble into the titans core where it will then be ground to dust. Only objects able to run directly away from the force of the vacuum can avoid the Titans clutches. Keep an eye out for his vacuum, and flee as soon as you see it!
Thats all for todays edition of Titan Tactics, come back next week when well place the spotlight on another one of the Barons Titans, and tell you what you need to know to stand a chance when you take them on

Sparklite is an action-adventure set in a whimsical and ever-changing land. Gear up for Adventure and battle foes in top-down action using an arsenal of gadgets, guns, and gear. Explore dangerous corners of the procedurally generated world, take down titans of the mining industry, and harness the power Sparklite!
Everything in the world of Geodia is tied together by Sparklite... it's the life force of the planet, and the inhabitants have learned how to channel it safely. The blue, glowing ore can be harnessed providing a low-level, rechargeable power source. Or, for those brave or greedy enough, it can be consumed for a surge of power with grave consequences. Geodia’s self-titled "Baron" has devised a plot to mine the world’s Sparklite core to meet his own ends. Mining Sparklite in large quantities, the Baron repurposes the ore to fuel his powerful war machines, but the pollution from the consumed Sparklite is corrupting the world. Animals have turned into violent monsters, and the environment is rotting away.
The stricken land of Geodia has a natural defence in its Sparklite core. Periodically, the core causes a Disruption which rearranges the world, setting back the Baron’s efforts. Our heroine, Ada, must stop the Baron before he can obtain the core and gain the power to create a new world in which he has ultimate power. A plucky mechanic, Ada will need to use her cunning and skills to defeat the Baron’s henchmen across five distinct zones. Ada will have to work with Geodia’s weird and wonderful inhabitants if she’s to face the Baron and put paid to his deadly plans before it’s too late.
Our hero, Ada, must travel to each zone of the world to shut down the Baron’s Digsites before it’s too late...
