Review: Play Othercide if you seek a seriously brutal strategy experience

Othercide is a striking tactics game that defies a few rough edges to stand tall in a crowded landscape.

Focus Home Interactive has built up a reputation for signing unique titles that take creative risks, or put a unique spin on existing paradigms. Even on the face of it, Othercide seems to continue the tradition, with a severe monochrome aesthetic that permeates the entire game.

It was the game's art style alone that drew me in, but I stuck around for its brutally rewarding gameplay, intriguing story delivery, and epic boss battles. This is Othercide, a game tactics fans mustn't miss.
