These are separated into three separate classes īlademaster – Self-explanatory really, close range melee. The game plays out with you taking charge of The Daughters. With only accents of red in costumes, attacks and menu items, leading to game to have a very bleak look. The game is mostly black, white and grey. They’re all made up of bleak, black and grey landscapes, the occasional piece of gothic architecture, all in keeping with the game overall aesthetic. There’s nothing special about the maps at all. It’s quite hard to tell where the action takes place as the maps become very linear quite early on, to a point that I think I actually played the same map a couple of times during my playthrough. At least that’s my guess, again, the game is shy on story details. A city that has placed itself into a lockdown fearing The Forces of Suffering. The game supposedly takes place in The City. I found myself losing interest with the story, quite early on. These, however do little to help the story to really grab you. There is more story lore that enemies drop on destruction. If this is beginning to sound a bit confusing, you’re not alone. Othercide does have a story, however its crafted in a weird cryptic narrative, made up of sentences and messages read out by The Mother character. Then there’s the Daughters, creatures created by The Mother to fight the Lost Childs evil creations The forces of Suffering.
There’s also a “Lost Child” that has caused The Mother to be trapped in Hell. A warrior that has been around for thousands of years. In Othercide, weird theirs no ‘The’ at the beginning, but anyway, you play the part of The Mother. Othercide is a turn based (you probably saw that coming) horror, strategy game from Lightbulb Crew, published by Focus Home Interactive. And yet I still find myself openly saying yes to review them, I must be mad! What is Othercide?
To say I’m not a fan of turn based games, is a bit of an understatement, I despise them, if I’m brutally honest.
