This is on a scale of 100 initiative units and it fundamentally changes how Othercide plays. This timeline displayed at the bottom of the screen shows you when enemies will attack and when you will get your turn to strategies. At its core Othercide is a standard tactical game, with you pulling from a pool of action points to use different attacks and move around the playable grid.īut, Lightbulb Crew have thrown in a twist: The Timeline. These classes can then be taken into your traditional tactical game battles and used to flank, outmanoeuvre and outsmart your enemies. Daughters have different playstyles and a variety of options in combat when it comes to skills However, it is unlocked partway through the game and it adds a twist to the traditional combat you have learned by having her focus on AoE damage. There is a fourth class, but I am not going to spoil it too much. Finally, the Shieldbearer is your tank, equipped with a shield and spear, she can pull an enemy’s focus, withstand damage, and allow your other daughters to sneak up from behind to land devastating backstabs. Equipped with a large sharp ended blade, she can do an immense amount of damage and quickly hop across the battlefield. The Blademaster is your standard melee class. The Soulslinger comes equipped with two pistols and does a light amount of damage from afar, but is great at getting out of sticky situations and interrupting enemy attacks. Your team of daughters is comprised of three different classes. The music is also excellent with a nice blend of gothic horror instrumental and big bombastic themes when you fight a boss. This is all built up by the monochromatic visuals (which is accented by the red blood and red ribbons on the daughters) making for a visual treat and one of the most striking games I have ever seen. Othercide isn’t a tame game, but the atmosphere is stellar and it leans far more into the roots of grotesque horror than Bloodborne ever did. These bosses are also voiced with the creepy Deacon of the Cellar Prison Era commenting on your daughter’s luscious legs and lips, whilst The Surgeon in the Plague Era talks about skinning your daughters and studying them.

Enemies are contorted and twisted, with milky white skin and flesh making for a creepy sight.īosses as well play into this haunting design with them towering over your team of daughters and having some excellent designs based on the era they represent. When it comes to their movement they will contort their heads, spasm and jerk their body side to side and creepily dash towards you. Othercide is a gothic spectacle with enemies looking like they were pulled out of classic gothic literature and stories. The story is never the focus of Othercide, but where it lacks in narrative it makes up for in atmosphere and environmental and enemy design. You birth them, shape them, and even sacrifice them, building up your army and forming the group that will be able to take down the monstrosities waiting in each fight. The only thing that stands in their way are The Daughters an army comprised of echoes of the greatest warrior to ever live. Othercide is set in a monochromatic world which has become infested by the Suffering, dreadful contorted monsters that are made from the worst sins of Humanity.

Othercide PS4 Review A Gorgeous, Broken, Battered World That Spans Multiple Eras Lightbulb Crew have created one of the most visually striking games of the year and it’s an offering that everybody should try. But, Othercide is a strong strategy game that is elevated by its gruesomely gothic world, nightmarish atmosphere and enemy designs and perfected progression curve.
