FINALLY!!! Something to get me back into turn-based tactics! One of my favorite but sadly neglected genres, Othercide shines with style, sensibility, and grit. Anyone who has fused 2 demons together in Shin Megami Tensei will feel at home sacrificing their "aughters" into new ones to build stronger soldiers. I personally am OCD so it will take me a long …

FINALLY!!! Something to get me back into turn-based tactics! One of my favorite but sadly neglected genres, Othercide shines with style, sensibility, and grit. Anyone who has fused 2 demons together in Shin Megami Tensei will feel at home sacrificing their "aughters" into new ones to build stronger soldiers. I personally am OCD so it will take me a long while before I kill one of my babies but maybe I will germinate specific daughters with the soul intent of merging them with my strongest Daughter.

I recommend the color blind setting! It gives the game a Gold highlight that is MUCH easier on the eyes than the harsh red against the monochrome setting.

I only just started this bad boy but I am sure I will be diving into its Lovecraftian battlefields with a lot of frequency (anything to give Cyberpunk 2077 a break t.t). I am also sure that I will start playing other tactics games again along side this one. On a similar note, playing .hack:Infection again has inspired me to return to Enchanted Arms and maybe other favorite turn-based/JRPG's like Final Fantasy VIII/IX, and Chrono Cross.

Dropped on the Deacon boss. I like the art style, but the combat is very repetitive, and the boss battles are not intuitive. Simply stopped enjoying it at some point.

game feels weird has good mechanics good graphics good difficulty but the missions are annoying especially the one where you have to lead someone to a safe zone

Visual design, voice acting and music are so unbelievably good in this game, they exceeded all of expectations i had before i started playing. But, unfortunately gameplay Othercide is way too simple and boring.

Visual design, voice acting and music are so unbelievably good in this game, they exceeded all of expectations i had before i started playing. But, unfortunately gameplay Othercide is way too simple and boring. If we had more diverse perks, classes, enemies, playstyles and so on, Othercide would be easily one of my favorite turned-based strategy games. To summarize, unfortunately i'll have to say that Othercide is a great piece of art, but lackluster game, maybe for just one playthrough.

Really loving this game so far. It might end up being too punishing for me. But so far, I'm still really enjoying myself.
