For instance, the first boss has worshippers that can basically make him completely invulnerable with their chanting. On the seventh day, you have to fight the week’s boss, who is generally ridiculously overpowered and has several different layers that make them even more ridiculous. Some days will trigger certain special effects, like increases to damage or decreases in enemy health and experience. I’d recommend completing as many missions as possible you’ll need the resources. You have to complete at least one before you can move to the next day, but after that you can choose to rest at any time. The game progresses through several weeks every day, several missions will be available for you to tackle. There are a set number of pre-rendered battlefields, so you don’t get a unique battlefield every time, but the mission types and difficulties are randomized, which keeps things varied enough to stay interesting. When you do, you have to restart pretty much from scratch, although you can unlock remembrances that will allow you to carry over some of the advantages you’d built up through your previous runs. The roguelike elements go hand-in-hand with the game’s brutal difficulty the first screen that pops up when you start a new game tells you to get ready to die. Progressing through the game unlocks the Red Mother’s memories and remembrances, which can be equipped to your Daughters, but more importantly, they’re accompanied by small bits of backstory that, while sparse, develop an intriguing and engrossing world. She generates clones of herself, called Daughters, to be your soldiers in this war. Players find themselves allied with the Red Mother, a shade of the greatest warrior of all time, who aids you in your never-ending battle against the Chosen One of Suffering. First, a bit of the good while the storyline isn’t super deep or involved, the game’s world and its lore are captivating and well-presented. The results are frequently stunning, but just as frequently frustrating. Othercide for the Nintendo Switch is an interesting experiment in mixing together turn-based strategy games, roguelike elements, and an absolutely brutal difficulty curve.
