The Otterman Empire

Too many bugs to recommend right now. Can't skip the tutorial Tutorial steps don't track correctly Numerous Steps and text appeared at once. I'd like a refund

I've been following this game for a couple of years now and had the pleasure of playing it at different stages throughout it's development at events organised by the creators, so it's great to see it released! It's great to be playing it at home! Now I just need to make some friends and for C19 to disappear so I can enjoy the local multiplayer to it's fullest! I've not played any split-screen multiplayer since buying it, but that's mainly because of what I just said, and because I already know that part of the game is awesome! No doubt I'll be playing some split-screen soon though! I just needed to get some practice in before playing against the girlfriend. I'd never hear the end of it if she beat me :P Instead, I decided to try out the campaign as that part is completely new to me. I wasn't disappointed either! I've just finished it, although I wasn't good enough to get 3 stars on every level just yet, but I'm getting close! Loving some of the item customisations I've unlocked so fa...

The game does a poor job of telling you where damage is coming from and why you died, which makes reacting to taking damage difficult. More unfortunately though is the lack of online play. It might be fun with friends, but I was completely unable to get Steam Remote Play to work properly for the local multiplayer so I couldn't tell. This game shows a lot of promise with some fun gamemodes and a unique style, but I'm going to wait until they add online multiplayer and a bit more polish.

10/10

I found this game lots of fun to play, especially with a few friends. The game is simple enough to learn which makes it great for a quick party game. The visuals are pleasing to look at with several cool locations and a selection of quirky and unique characters (including a few non-otters) to pick from, my favourite being the otter "Lyra". Each character has their own abilities and attacks to keep gameplay feeling fresh, some abilities are really cool like "Noah" who bombards a target are with fish. Its all very fun. The sound is good too, the sfx are subtle and appropriate and the soundtrack fits in nicely too. The game was somewhat easy to grasp with its simple control scheme, I struggle with a games controller in shooters yet I quickly got used to the controller and was able to progress in the campaign, I even got a few kills in the versus! While the campaign levels got harder, I got better at the game and never struggled too much. The keyboard support could be a bit better howe...

Good game but keyboard support could be better.

I was really looking forward to this game, but it's at best a beta version. I can overlook the fact that the cinematic sequences are a joke and do not really lead the player into an atmospheric environment. The real issue started for me with the gameplay and controls itself. To really play this with several people you need proper controller support. But the unfortunate truth is, that the controlls are choppy and most frustrating. You can hardly hit anything and looking around is quite disorienting because of the choppyness. There is as well no proper auto aim and just as important an auto aim setting that can be tuned so that players that are not so familiar with shooters have at least somewhat of a chance against more seasoned ones. Then the game modes, where there is no proper explaination delivered how they work. So you end up with frustrating trial and error to figure out what the heck you are supposed to do. The controls are not helping with that either. Looking past that, non of ...

This game is "otterly" brilliant, my favourite part is playing with friends in the pvp modes.

Own both this version and Switch version and it's a good laugh. Great art, great audio, great team behind it
