PAX East was supposed to be a huge event for Sony. Unfortunately, threats of the Coronavirus have left them no choice but to forgo the event this year. That doesn’t mean they’re going to withhold their trailer reveals. Some have — in fact — start trickling in these last couple of days. One of the more memorable so far was for the game Othercide.

As she suffers, she calls out to her daughters. They’re her last hope at salvation. The monsters shown in the trailer are very unique. Some have multiple limbs while others are thin with horns.

These monsters are referred to as the Others. They’ve come from some other dimensions and judging by their actions, they mean business. The trailer shows a lot of the thematic elements featured in the Othercide. They look extremely unique with dark tones and moody aesthetics. You don’t often see these types of visuals in RPGs, so right away, Othercide stands out from the pack.

Looking at the description of the trailer reveal for the PS4, there will be a Dynamic Timeline System. It basically lets you plan out your attacks using all sorts of abilities. Thus, a lot of strategy seems to be involved. As you progress in the game, you’ll get to enhance the abilities of the Daughters and shape their personalities.

It’s also mentioned that there are epic bosses. They’re dread creatures of the Suffering and based on early impressions in this trailer, they seem like forces to be reckoned with. You’ll have to fine-tune each of the Daughters carefully in order to prevail, it seems.
