Othercide works so well with all these intricate details because it holds a classic blueprint at its core. As I played, I couldn't help but notice how chess-like the title is. This is perhaps why its gameplay is so strong because it forces players to make similar moves and sacrifices. Othercide is a masterfully-created strategy title because of how it encourages players to think several steps ahead. It pushes players into difficult spots as a way to confront difficult decision making -- there may be times when you have to make the choice to wipe and start all over again.
