How it feels

A frantic blend of tower defense and bullet hell where you plan defenses while dodging enemy fire in pixel art style.

What players say

Players say Otherwar's blend of tower defense and bullet hell misses the mark on both fronts. The game is unbalanced, with early difficulty spikes and RNG-dependent progression, while the action feels slow and repetitive. Holding the mouse button to fire is uncomfortable, and meta progression can feel grindy before upgrades matter.
