First introduced again in 2018, Othercide is again with a brand new trailer in the present day. The largely gray tactical RPG is filled with horrific creatures with plague masks and spindly limbs blended with splashes of crimson. Gives me considerably Bloodborne vibes seeing these lengthy hunter cloaks and broads preventing monsters in crimson pumps and scarves. Or perhaps it was the organ enjoying within the trailer wot did it. Anyway, it’s bought grimdark vibes—the trailer bangs on issues like “suffering” and severed hearts—and is coming this summer season.
You lead a military of Daughters, apparently all echoes of some nice warrior of yore, in opposition to the Others and Suffering in a “dying timeline.” All very melodramatic, however performs nicely with the crimson and greyscale I think about. You’ll additionally have to make the robust alternative to sometimes sacrifice considered one of your daughter warrior to heal one other, Lightbulb say.

Using what Lightbulb Crew name their “Dynamic Timeline System” you possibly can plan a delayed motion or use a response ability to answer assaults. Those appears fairly acquainted, the sort of fight ideas you’ll acknowledge from tabletop roleplay. More attention-grabbing is the power to interrupt an enemy assault by planning it upfront on the timeline. Not simply put together a response, however see an assault coming upfront—the best way you possibly can see turns forward in most turn-based tactical games, it appears—and plan a counter.
