Fun but borderline unplayable

I can’t say much about the mechanics or how it plays other than it seems fun and interesting, but it constantly crashes and freezes and renders mechanics unusable. The local co-op, which is why I wanted to play it, is absolutely unplayable. The turns are timed at a ridiculously short 30 seconds, you can barely see what the other person is doing, and what the other player does usually doesn’t affect anything on your screen, so if they kill a monster it often makes it unkillable on your screen but it can still attack you, or if they unlock the exit it won’t appear on your screen. Or any one of a million problems that appear. Genuinely, I would really love this game if only I could play it, just fix at least the game-breaking bugs.

buggy but fun

that’s why i was frustrated enough to leave a review. sometimes you can’t do search or attack or move when you clearly should be able to

Zombiecide Rip off

For a zombiecide rip off it is half way there. I am finding it annoying that there is no information on the monsters. I cant attack hounds or shamblers with any of the weapons I have found so far. There is no indication that they are immune to low level damage. At least in Zombiecide the weapon damage of 2 let you kill Fattys - which are the same as the shamblers. Runners are hounds. Etc. the game has copied zombicide closely except for the part that makes it playable.

I love this game

I really enjoy this game. I love finding items. As you play you get to unlock different items and there are different level of difficulty to play. So quite a bit of content… my only complaint is that I have done all that, and even though replaying the boards is still entertaining, there are only so many times you can play the same games over. I’m hoping for an Otherside 2, pretty please?

Brilliant

Unsure if you individuals past reviews are visible anywhere or not, but I very rarely (if ever) leave reviews.

This game, however, needs it! The reviews so far don’t paint a fair picture, with most that I can see being 2+ years old?!

A few quick notes, there are not only four characters, there are harder monsters, there’s a full rulebook that has EVERYTHING and is simple to navigate and read.

It’s absolutely brilliant and I’ve already sunk many hours in. I want more of this type of app available tbh lol.

My ONE qualm is the camera controls are a little bit finicky, manageable but could be improved and it makes me put one less star because the camera angles can be a little annoying at times to see where characters are in relation to one another etc.

BUT don’t let that one qualm or previous (old) reviews put you off, this is a great game if you’re into board game style, dice, D&D, rpg, horror-ish, fantasy… the list just goes on tbf. Give it a try!

Do NOT Skip

If you’re like me, you are barely considering trying this game because the star rating doesn’t bode well. Trust me. DON’T MISS IT.

The reduced star rating is because there are bugs. It’s true—there are. They don’t break the game, and they don’t’ happen often, but they’re frustrating when they show up.

But I’m still rating this five stars because this is one of the most unique and interesting games on the App Store. Developers should make more games like this, and I’d love to see this one expanded. You really won’t find anything else quite like it, and it’s well worth a few minor frustrations to get to enjoy this one-of-a-kind, turn-based, edge-of-your-seat board game!

Too glitchy

Great game, good graphics and gameplay but it often glitches, the exit won’t appear or the game doesn’t end on getting everyone to the exit

Bugged but fun

Worth the arcade download. Some big bugs tho. If continuing a game, can often encounter search for cards that is broken, card disappears and action is used but no item is given, must abandon that game. Scientist bodyguard you cannot win. You get everyone to exit and scientist too, you get achievement for win without killing horror, but then game is frozen, no way to move or do anything, must quit and abandon game. Also its unclear how damage is applied and i think that is bugged sometimes too e.g. smg if hits twice shambler only does 4 damage no kill, same with hunting rifle two hits only deals 4 damage (but 1 hit is 3 damage?!).

Glitchy

I’m enjoying the game, but that’s gonna be repetitive. There is one issue that I’m experiencing consistently where my heroes are unable to attack within the same zone. I can’t select the zone I’m in to attack when I have a weapon that works with zero range. When this happens, I am also unable to click the end turn button to try and move the game along.

Great idea, but it needs to be updated or fixed or something.

Great game

Good board game but the consumable item ability on the vet is broken and it won’t let you use consumables twice otherwise it would be 5 stars
