#Othercide plot series

These are all pretty standard, and if you’ve played X-COM at all then you really need no explanation of what their objectives are.Įach mission has a random degree of difficulty, and you can choose easier or harder Missions. There are 3 different types of Missions: Rescue, Hunt and Survival. You will begin by choosing 1 Mission from a list of randomly populated Missions per day, for a total of 6 days. In Othercide you will begin in the first Era, and move from Era to Era facing different enemies and Bosses. Othercide’s Rogue-Like Progression System

First, let’s take at how you progress in the game. It’s actually extremely clever, once you get the grasp of it, and gameplay that I initially thought was repetitive, eventually turned into something that I couldn’t stop playing. Othercide Gameplay & MechanicsĪs I mentioned, I’ve never seen an X-COM/Rogue-like before, and I’ll do my very best to explain how this works, or how it’s even possible rather. That said, it’s definitely unique, and there are brownie points to be awarded for that. If they were a bit more dark or menacing then, it would be more believable. I didn’t find it particularly interesting or compelling, not only because the animation wasn’t very well done, but because the antagonists almost look comical in nature and it was difficult to take them seriously. The story is cryptic and not initially clear, unraveling as you progress further into new Eras, and in my opinion is one of the weaker aspects of the game. This all plays out in a “Groundhog’s Day” like fashion, as your initial attempts to stop these events fail, and you travel through time to begin again and change the course of history.
