With its distinct visual style, interesting, complex gameplay mechanics, and merciless difficulty level, Othercide is a treat for anyone who enjoys challenging turn-based tactical games. [10/2020, p.50]

Othercide is low-key but stylish, smart, exciting, even though it doesn't have the budget and technologies of Gears Tactics. It does fall into the same gameplay cracks sometimes, yet, unlike GT, it always keeps you engaged and invested in the fate of your team.

I was drawn to Othercide not only because I’m a fan of turn-based tactical combat and compelling aesthetics, but because of its mysterious premise. That said, the repetitive gameplay and lack of variety made me eventually lose interest. The themes of death, struggle, and rebirth are interesting, but they weren’t enough to override the repetition and and unconventional design choices.

it gets way too credit for the art style and being a roguelite when they werent common.
you are forced to farm and the original difficulty makes the game way too punishing, also the attacks with a time to effect are interesting when they could be more uses for speed in the game

Unique style and unmatched atmosphere. One of the rare games that **** you in the more you play. The story can be convoluted (but interesting) and gameplay can be repetitive in places but the sense of progression and becoming more powerful is unmatched by similar Tactics games. Highly recommended for everyone who loves Turn Based Tactic games.

Othercide is very enjoyable for both lovers of tactics and for those who don't know this genre and want to start playing it. With a campaign that offers many possibilities and immense amount of hours, all this added to its very compelling visual style, especially if you are a Lovecraft fan.

Othercide is an engaging tactical rpg and I’m going to hop right back in. There are so many different strategies to employ that it never gets boring. The timeline is a fantastic idea that adds a lot of strategic options. It can be almost too hard at times, but I know I’ll get through anything given enough time.

Probably my favorite tactical Rpg game, it is the perfect mix between Darkest dungeon and Xcom 2. Also let's not forget the sublime visual, this game is a treat for the eyes.

Othercide is a modern gothic take on turn-based tactics. It's stylish, difficult and a solid addition to the genre.

There aren't many games like Othercide that dig deep into gameplay that make players be willing to die. Although it offers great tactical and strategic elements, after players die again and again, it becomes so repetitive and boring.

Othercide has a number of interesting quirks and its art design, with gothic and noir elements, creates a uniquely forboding atmosphere. Unfortunately, it's also got a ridiculous degree of difficulty that you normally don't associate with the turn-based strategy genre. The game's roguelite concepts are more than welcome, though repetition and restarts, combined with the genre's slower progression and mission system, will make playthroughs feel like time-consuming affairs.

A combat system that’s deeper than it first appears is the real star here, but you’ll likely also stick around for the perverse and disturbing universe and the story that plays out within it. The voiceover work will quickly annoy you and the difficulty is unfair, but there is still a bit to enjoy here, assuming you can ignore some of Othercide’s shortcomings. I wanted to like Othercide much more than I did.

Othercide sin duda es una buena mezcla entre juego de estrategia por turnos y roguelite. Se basa en una serie de rondas, en las cuales ganas px para tus Hijas y Memorias que equiparles, de cara a enfrentarse al boss de esa ronda. Si vences, sigues hacia el siguiente. Si no, vuelta a empezar, pero con diversas mejoras que vas desbloqueando. El combate la verdad es que está muy bien, con una iniciativa dinámica que hace que el orden en que ocurre cada cosa, cuando pasarnos y cuando ser conservadores, resulte clave. Los diversos tipos de Hijas que tenemos no son muchos, pero son lo suficientemente diferentes entre si como para que sea interesante combinarlas y ofrezcan diversas opciones tácticas. Lo mismo ocurre con los enemigos y los bosses que, sin ser demasiados en variedad, si que ofrecen diversos retos que debemos priorizar y aprender a contrarrestar (eso si, el boss final me ha parecido un tremendo coñazo). Gráficamente el juego no es espectacular pero si que tiene un apartado artístico muy atractivo con el uso del blanco y negro y el rojo. La música no tiene mucha presencia, pero cuando impacta funciona muy bien. Los efectos cumplen y las voces no están mal aunque son un poco irregulares; el problema que tienen, además, es que tienen pocas frases, de modo que acaban repitiéndose mucho. Solo me encontré con un bug en mi tiempo jugando, un error que se produjo de al terminar un asalto y retirarme, pero fue un error grave que me borró parte de la partida guardada y sus datos, lo cual me llevó a dejar el juego poco antes del final. Por todo ello, Othercide no es un juego perfecto, pero si uno que vale la pena. Un 7.

Unfair, unbalanced and very poorly executed from the tactial side of things. Also, extremely repetitive. The art direction is great, but there's nothing to sink your teeth into.
