When you are placed on the map, you are shown the number of enemies you have to conquer, and then the turn-based combat begins. Then you have the Blademaster вЂ“ a quick and heavy hitter вЂ“ whilst the Soulslinger is a supporting character who is most at home firing shots from afar.

Shieldbearer is a more defensive being, with a shield and a lance for heavy attacks working much like a tank in an RPG. The daughters start at level one as you are given three classes to play with. Those who have dabbled in the world of XCOM will instantly find it familiar, pushed out into missions based on a small map, as you start with three of your daughters in play. It sounds very confusing when IвЂ™m explaining it here, but when itвЂ™s shown in-game everything about Othercide seems to make sense, allowing you to completely buy into the story and the way itвЂ™s being told. Standing in its way is the Red Mother, a sort of demi-god, who you play as, controlling all your pawns to defend this world вЂ“ the pawns being daughters that she spawns from the void to fight for her and defend the reality. You see, there is a huge war and conflict about to take place, where a supreme being and all of its army are trying to enter this reality. The game is set between the years 18, but the world comprises a different reality to what we are used to. ItвЂ™s told through codices and the drip-feeding of information there is absolutely no doubt that it will appeal to the most hardcore sci-fi/fantasy fans. The story is a complex one, but get your head around it and youвЂ™ll discover something that is a hugely original epic. Othercide is an RTS in its stylings, playing out like games such as XCOM, but really it is its own complete beast, making its own rules in regards to the genre.
