In this situation, you then have to decide whether it’s worth it to spend the extra timeline ticks to try again or to just accept your failure and hope she doesn’t get too ravaged by that enemy when they can act next. A Daughter may have enough DPS to off an enemy, but then she’ll miss two of her attacks. Do you hedge your bets and take the extra turn to finish off that enemy with a sliver of health, or do you play it safe so you can respond quickly to an attack from another enemy elsewhere on the battlefield? Like all great strategy games, there are no clear right or wrong answers, which makes every choice feel that much more impactful.Īmid all this, RNG proves to be the real devil of the difficulty, as it consistently ruins your best-laid plans and keeps you improvising along the way. Thus, you have to constantly be balancing the risk of taking your next turn’s actions against the potential blowback that can incur.
Going anywhere over fifty will automatically push them all the way to the end of the timeline, however, which leaves them wide open to counterattacks from enemies, who could potentially get in two turns before that daughter gets to act again.

For example, each Daughter is limited by a soft cap of fifty ticks on the timeline, but they can each use up to the full one hundred ticks of the timeline if they wish. What’s interesting about this setup is how flexible it can allow turns to be, adding in a nice additional layer of strategy. However, the Red Mother has the ability to reset the world to a time decades before Suffering’s victory, and she does this over and over, each time picking new warriors called Daughters who utilize the memories she gains from the infinite lost battles to better combat their opponent the next time around. Suffering is a creature from beyond the Veil that evidently wants to destroy all life, and it very frequently manages to have its way with the world. The story roughly follows a mysterious extradimensional being named the Red Mother, who’s locked in an endless battle against a sinister force called Suffering.
Right from the off, it’s clear that Othercide borrows heavily from the weighty, hopeless atmosphere of Lovecraftian literature, as you fight a losing battle against… something. That being said, those of you who put in the effort to overcome Othercide’s punishment will find that this is a richly rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable SRPG adventure that stands tall among its peers. One of the first things you see in Othercide – the latest release from Lightbulb Crew – is one such message, which plainly says, “your Daughters will die, and you will lose, only to rise stronger again.” Indeed, Othercide lives up to the hype, too this is not a game for the faint of heart. You know you’re in for a rough time when a game tells you upfront that you’re going to lose a lot. Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked)
