Today’s Spotlight is Othercide, a turn-based tactics game with roguelite elements by Lightbulb Crew and Focus Home Interactive.
Humanity’s continued existence is threatened by a horrific, otherworldly power called the Suffering. The only thing standing in its way are the Daughters, echoes of the greatest warrior to have ever lived.
Raise an army of Daughters, and level them up with new skills and abilities as they survive brutal encounters against the Suffering. Chain together combos with your Daughters in battle to inflict severe damage on your enemies. While many of your Daughters will fall in battle, others will need to be sacrificed to improve the odds of your other Daughters in the fight against evil.
You can find the launch trailer below.
Othercide is available on Windows PC (via Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One for $34.99, and coming soon to Nintendo Switch.
