“You will fight, you will fail, you will rise again.” This is Othercide’s motto, and it deserves credit for sticking to the bit. It doesn’t just say it’s about a hopeless war against encouraging darkness, it commits to the theme. Othercide mixes turn-based tactical combat with the repetition and incremental progress of roguelikes. It takes the threat of losing your best soldier from XCOM and makes that threat a certainty. You will lose, and then you will try again.
