You have to try and get her through hordes of monsters without taking any damage, which is extremely hard. The one that I find myself always avoiding is the one where you have to save a bright soul, you have to escort this character from one side of the map to the other so that they can escape but they are pretty much a one-hit kill. There are object-based ones but I find these to challenging and sometimes the winning conditions just fell impossible and that makes me mad. The synapse that I enjoy the most are the Hunt ones where you have to kill every creature on the map, it’s simple and properly the easiest to get your head around. The others are there to give you the chance to level up all your daughters as well as getting more rewards. You are offered different synapses that you must complete to be able to move on to the next day, certain days you can get multiple synapses but you only need to complete one to be able to move forward. You use your Daughters to fight the creatures to try and progress through the days. So the game is broken down into Days and on the seventh day, you will encounter a boss, pretty simple. You take control of your daughters who fight on your behalf against the nightmarish creatures that plague the world, these creatures all come from another dimension and you must harness everything you have (which isn’t a lot) to fight against these foes. Its lore and gameplay mechanics are dark and challenging, offering gamers a brilliant yet frustrating gameplay experience that almost puts Dark Souls to shame. It’s a horror-themed turn-based strategy game with a dynamic timeline system that is similar to that of Child of Light. Othercide is developed by an indie company called Lightbulb Crew. Dark, Gritty and a unique art style Othercide looked like my cup of tea and I made it my mission to get my gaming hands on a PlayStation 4 version of the game. Not only did it have my curiosity after watching the trailer it now had my attention. It’s not often that a YouTube ad grabs my curiosity long enough for me to not skip it but the Othercide trailer pulled me in and kept me watching right to the very end. After seeing a trailer pop up on YouTube, I couldn’t help but watch.

Othercide more than ready
