Quick Look: Othercide

Absolutely love the quick look, as usual you two rock!

Thanks so much for bringing a little bit of the magic of big quick look energy to my day!!

nice to see more Quick Looks

there's a lot indie games that came out recently. I hope they do those

Vinny and ben is a vastly under rated combination

This is my current GOTY

They're the new Ben and Dan.

Could watch (especially listen!) to this all day. Vinny’s Quick Looks are amazing, this one’s great in combination with Ben.

Not really the same type of game but any chance we’re seeing Flight Simulator soon? That would be awesome especially when Vinny breaks it!

@blitzrules240: i was gonna comment "blitz's goty" and hope you'd see it but you already did lmao

@karspankey: And only a few number of people would understand

@blitzrules240: more people should care about #blitzpressions

This game has style

they lost me in the first 3 minutes...

@masterswanny: but that Vinny and Jeff know what I’m saiyen..

Styyylleeee right across the board. The look is phenomenal. And the music. Liking it a lot. The gameplay though... Went a little over my head. Don't think I'd enjoy it like I would an XCOM.

@mistercoke: Vinny posted in forums that it should go up tomorrow. Drew came back for this one :)

@c_toc: that’s veryyyy good news and I was hoping for exactly that, thanks! :)

I don't know what line game text has to cross to be considered "comically small", but this game is sure dancing on it.

But how long, how looooong WILL i slide?

The vibe coming off of this game....yuck.

i already bought this game but i really wanted to see what Vinny thought of it, definitely will watch it

Great quicklook guys and was super interested until you said its run based :(

This is such a small thing, but I can't believe we are in 2020 and a primary game mechanic just called "Burst." Possibly the most non descript word possible to describe anything.

You don't like black and white?

Given the strong anime flavor of the game, including the power rock, it seems to be drawing on the concept of "going all out". The terms "full burst" is or "burst mode" are common in heavy combat animes of the world.

Also, you are right, it is basically meaningless if you lack the context I am burdened with.

Having a lot of fun with this game. It could definitely use more variety in the maps and stuff. But for a small team it's a great first showing.

I love the style and music(it is VERY particular though, so a love it or hate it sort of thing).

I also saw early complaints about enemy varieth and ai and stuff. I didn't realize until I looked closer that all the enemies attack and move to achieve a specific goal(for example one always attacks the closest target with the lowest health). Initially I didn't like this concept, but then it sort of gave me into the breach vibes.

You can definitely game the system to line up combos and such which I appreciate.

@blitzrules240: Same here, I finished it but I want to 100% it. It's too good.

one brightside of the work from home stuff is we're getting more crosscountry quicklooks with unconventional duos like vinny & ben (i know they worked together 27 years ago in that one office) which is a pairing i didnt know i needed, but i enjoy it alot :)

@plan6:

The Black/White/Red aesthetic and the moodiness I didn't even consider the anime implications! But its because everything else seems so deliberately designed I'm surprised its not called something more flavorful. If instead of "Beyond Plus Ultra!" the MHA catchphrase was "burst."

Again I recognize it as a small thing, but that's what I'm getting caught up on

I'm really digging this what seems to be an angle towards a "regular" pre-covid daily schedule with the new cross-coast pairings. This game isn't really one for me but Vinny and Ben kept me interested and entertained. Great work.

I love the visual style and the sound of this game. Thanks for the quick look, I never would have seen it otherwise! I'm definitely the audience for this.

For the timeline maneuvers, it reminds me of XCOM Chimera Squad. I sorta trailed off that one; I wasn't into the style/humor of the game very much, although I thought the timeline was a good idea. Now there's this one, and Vinny highlighted even cooler calculations you do with the timeline mechanics. I'm in.
