“So when this came out, I recall it getting a pretty poor reception, I bought it on sale and left it in my backlog for like four years before trying it out. Kind of a shame. Without looking too much into the development…”

“Style over Substance, but so much Style, I don't really care that the gameplay is repetitive.”

“Yeah, no. As much as I wanted to like it, Othercide is just not up to snuff. The key issue to me is the immensely low variety between combat encounters. The game does try to keep things fresh by introducing new types of…”

“The core tactics with the timeline mechanic are implemented well. The fact that the player knows in advance what event can happen and at what moment, and can influence it, turns each battle into an interesting puzzle.…”

“I really want to love this game. And the mechanics and the idea of the game is very appealing. Though for me, the game is quite buggy, from a scale of 1 to 10 i'd say the UI and UX navigation is about 7. I often find…”

“Best thing about the game is how it's elegant art direction compliments it's tactical rougelike gameplay. The difficulty is brutal at the start and pushes you to sacrifice units. However, some that brutality comes from…”
