Tactical RPG ‘Othercide’ Gets Overview Trailer Ahead of End of Month Launch

Focus Home Interactive released a new trailer for the Lightbulb Crew-developed tactical RPG, Othercide, coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on July 28. A Nintendo Switch release is also planned.

The trailer highlights the gameflow where players will utilize strategic combat to get through its many encounters. Players get a preview of the Dynamic Timeline System, which is at the core of each fight. Players will interrupt actions and manipulate the battlefield using various techniques and abilities.

Othercide is a tactical RPG where players will command an army of units called Daughters, who are echoes of the greatest warriors ever to live. Similarly, they will fight against creatures and bosses who are spirits of those who have committed some of the worst crimes.

During gameplay, players will move units and strategically plan to interrupt enemy attacks while setting up a chain of action in a timeline to perform a deadly combo. The game takes players to a gothic-styled world and features roguelite elements such as limited resources and permadeath. There might come a time when you have to decide to sacrifice a Daughter to make another stronger.
