Othercide Is a Turn-Based RPG From Publishing Heavyweight Focus Home Interactive

Focus Home Interactive has become a major publisher in the AA space over the past couple of years, helping the likes of Call of Cthulhu, The Surge, and the fantastic A Plague Tale: Innocence reach the PlayStation 4 market. And it is set to continue that initiative in 2020 with Othercide, a tactical turn-based RPG from developer Lightbulb Crew. The game will launch on PS4 in the summer, and you can get a taste of what's to come in the announcement trailer above.

Othercide was revealed for PC a while back, so we actually already have a decent idea of what the title is all about. The official website describes it as "a horror-themed turn-based strategy game where the lore and game mechanics are tightly intertwined to deliver a twisted, dark and challenging experience." Roguelite mechanics and permadeath will test your abilities to the maximum while levelling up will unlock new skills -- you can even sacrifice units to heal others.

This certainly sounds like a neat experience for the quiet summer months, but does it take your fancy? Leave your favourite poster to the slaughter in the comments below.
