About Otherwar
OTHERWAR is a surprising mash-up of Tower Defense and Bullet Hell with the charm and classy aesthetic of the timeless pixel art.
Embody the role of the defender angel who has been called forth to stem the tide of an encroaching hell horde. It falls upon your halo to plan out the defenses, however your adversaries shall not stand idly as they will blot out the sun with fire just to clip your wings. Yet, you are not defenseless as the angel can smite enemies on his own if need be.
Unlike other Tower Defense games, Otherwar's cast of enemies will keep you on your toes as almost every enemy fires a different kind of projectile. From the ever-following eyeballs to slowly approaching wide spider webs and patterns of swirling leaves cast by undead treants. Amidst the chaos of battle, you will also have to be on the look-out for certain enemies such as necromancers, who, if allowed to linger for too long, will raise skeletons from the dead that may overwhelm your defenses.
Before each mission you will have a chance to select towers and skills that will aid you in battle. From straight-forward offensive towers to more situational constructs such as slowing fields that will bog down approaching enemies or emplacements that shoot down incoming projectiles. Besides structures, the angel can also upgrade his own skills during the battle and acquire new abilities between missions. Making each of the 9 levels a puzzle for you to solve.Go, Defender! Carry your light into the dark!

The quality just isn't there. The game is unbalanced, and there seems to be a lot of grinding required even before your first upgrade. At the rate I was getting XP I would needed to have died 5+ times on the first level to get the cheapest upgrade to be able to progress further.
You never get the "i thought through this build well, look at how thoughtful tower placement wins" You frantically run around shooting, feels like a bullet hell with ineffective buildings you can slap down. Balance is way off
Slow, boring, unbalanced. Doesn't do either tower defense or bullet hell well. Neat concept. Just stumbles on itself everywhere.
The game is way too slow. It just doesn't feel fun. Your turrets deal little enough damage you're basically expected to spam them, and too low damage to try not attacking as the player's character, which also has an embarassingly weak weapon. I'm not sure what's the point of that player attack. Sure, I can just hold m1 forever and deal lots of damage accumulated over time, but it bores me to death. The enemies then have to move so extremely slowly to let the low-dmg attacks actually deal with them. The game has the double speed button, but it's not enough, and at even higher speeds it would be pretty annoying to do the manual attacking/dodging thing you're supposed to do all the time. There seems to be some kind of meta-progression turret leveling, but they only seem to have 0 upgrades each. About the only thing that changes is their stats. At some waves you will get some roguelike-style but stat-only (which is the worst kind) blessings, that don't even give you that much. There is some character metaprogression, but it almost doesn't add any more damage, meaning the whole game is going to be this tedious. There is one damage upgrade at the very end of the left side of the tree, a…
Good game, gets a bit repetitive and takes alot of brain control, but really fun. 9/10
