Othercide the child5/3/2023 Rogue-like means that players will fail, and fail often, but each time they will carry something over with them into the next playthrough. Othercide goes the extra mile in flipping the strategy genre on its head by eschewing any RPG elements often found in other games of this nature-there are no interchangeable weapons, armor, or cosmetics of any kind-in favor of Rogue-like elements that have become very popular in modern games. Since then I have tried to get my hands on every strategy game I can, as I love the level of customization and pre-planning that goes into not only the troops you take with you into battle but every single move made during a fight. My first foray into the strategy genre was with the JRPG/Strategy hybrid Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together on PS1. It is possible to defeat the Maid without unlocking the Scythedancer if the player deals enough damage to skip her third and final phase.This main menu graphic really showcases the overwhelming odds your team of daughters will often face off against in Othercide.Part of the lyrics to the Child's Song come from the lullaby sung by the Maid.Do not fear, i'll be here, pain is falling away.~The Maid, to her friend The Child - 1895 We shall go wherever you wish, for no one will ever control us again. Actual HP percentage to trigger Transfiguration reaction skills do not correspond to in-game description, see the skill description for details.Vow of Chastity gives Maid +20 armor for each incoming attack, that reduce next incoming attack damage by 40 (see more details in Armor section of Stats).Targets an area around each Daughter's location and, after a delay, damages Daughters still in the area by up to 900 per area. Interrupts the next boost launched by a daughter and deals up to 1225 damage to her. Resets initiative to 0.Ĭomment: actually the 2nd Transfiguration is triggered at about 15500 HP, which corresponds to lose of about 55% of total health.īoosts the Maid by 4 initiative units each time a Daughter does something. Resolve each 25 initiative units once activated.Ĭhanges phase after losing more than 50% of her HP for the first time. Enemies pushed into each other or an object take up to 200 damage. Interrupts the next ranged attack launched by a daughter and deals up to 1225 damage to her.Īfter a delay, the Maid pushes back Daughters surrounding her by 5 tiles and deals up to 200 damage, then teleports elsewhere. Heals the Maid by up to 100 HP each time a Daughter moves. Resets initiative to 0.Ĭomment: actually the 2nd Transfiguration is triggered at about 25000 HP, which corresponds to lose of about 30% of total health. After a delay, steals 1000 HP from all Daughters in the path of her scythe.Ĭomment: the stealing actually restores Maid HP for 1/2 of the inflicted damage.Ĭhanges phase after losing more than 20% of her HP for the first time. Interrupts the next melee attack launched by a daughter and deals up to 1225 damage to her.īoost the Maid's resistance to delays by 15% for 65 initiative units when activated. Increases the Maid's armor by 20 each time she is attacked. Slashes the 3 tiles in front of her, dealing up to 650 damage to Daughters in the area. To win, the Daughters will have to adjust to the Maid's interruptions and reactions. As she loses health, she unlocks new actions, increasing the number of combos she can execute. Finally, she ends her turn by launching a delayed action depending on her selected reaction. The Maid activates different reactions and interruptions depending on what the Daughters do, and she then targets the closest Daughter with her scythe. The young Maid, broken, beaten, and defiled by her horrible master, died in the arms of this unloved Child, sealing the fate of Reality. A fragile flame in an ocean of darkness, especially for the miserable and contagious Child, trapped in the cellar of the Deacon. Humming the rusty notes from a music box, the young Maid pulled out a lullaby. This orphan lost her parents, swept away by the plague, and became a servant to the Deacon.
