These reactions and interruptions can be fun to string together and let us deliver some free hits on the enemies in between turns. Reactions all differ, but usually they respond to things such as an enemy in range taking damage or getting within melee range of the unit, or could even be happening when the unit itself receives a buff from an ally. Interruptions have them respond to enemy attacks against allies, causing a counter that cancels the enemy attack and deals damage to the enemy instead.

The daughters can learn a number of skills that allow them to respond to specific things. While in XCOM and a few other similar games, we had an overwatch feature to respond to enemy entering our character’s cone of vision, Othercide takes this concept and develops it further. One of the big aspects of gameplay during combat encounters are the reactions and interruptions. However, there are many new and unique gameplay elements of its own that make Othercide so intriguing. However, the story here is mainly to service the gameplay and to create a backdrop for all our battles.Īt first glance the gameplay is very XCOM-like, with the isometric grid and turn-based tactics involving action points. A lot of the story can seem rather cryptic and some of it can be up to interpretation. We often see flashbacks and can piece the backstory together based on the major figures we come across, particularly the bosses, all of whom played a part in causing this evil to spread. The story revolves around a battle of good vs evil, what appears to be on a spiritual plane of existence, with the Mother and Daughters fighting for a sense of order and justice, while many nasty things filling this world being results of corrupted people and all the suffering that was unleased on the world.

Everyone is dead and only hideous nightmarish creatures roam about. The story is set in what looks like a dark fantasy, post-apocalyptic world.
