Lightbulb Crew is following up Othercide with Ex Sanguis, a brutal tactics RPG launching in early access on September 10 with a playable demo available now on Steam.
Lightbulb Crew, the studio behind the striking tactics RPG Othercide, is returning with a brand new bloodbath. Ex Sanguis launches in early access on September 10, and a playable demo is live right now on Steam for players looking to dive into the grim action early. Just like its predecessor, the game trades traditional cover systems for a heavy focus on positioning, initiative, and brutal environmental hazards.
Combat revolves around battlefield manipulation, letting you shove enemies across the grid, trigger explosive blood blisters, and yank distant targets straight into area-of-effect attacks. Mastering the character order bar and manipulating turn speeds will be essential to surviving the overwhelming forces of Stasis. Alongside the tactical depth, the game features a modern roguelite campaign structure where you choose three abilities upon leveling up and map out high-risk missions across a dying world of stone and flesh.
Reporting via Rock Paper Shotgun, Edwin Evans-Thirlwell highlights how this new entry builds on the clock-massaging mechanics that made Othercide stand out. If you want a strategy game that rewards aggressive plays and chessboard-flipping tactics over a slow overwatch crawl, you should definitely queue up the demo before the full release next month.
