The_Otherside Hack 12.0 + Redeem Codes

I agree with the sentiments of other reviewers. I like to play this game. I find the two levels challenging to an extent but after that it becomes repetitive. Add more player types... add more monsters to be more random... add a few legendary items that can appear sporadically on the hard level... stuff like that would help. Maybe even offer quests that unlock such legendary items to keep the play challenging.

Also, there is a very annoying glitch that needs to be resolved ASAP. Randomly throughout a match, there comes a point when the item cards get flipped and the card disappears. So no card and no new item to put in their inventory. It’s so AGGRAVATING!!! At first I thought it was due to the boss being on the board but then it happened when the boss wasn’t in play. There might be some important items that get missed that could change up the game play but the glitch makes it impossible to know that for sure.

Other Side is easily my favorite Apple Arcade game to date - though, admittedly, there isn’t much competition for that distinction, either. Regardless, this is legitimately one of the most enjoyable mobile/iOS games I’ve yet encountered, and almost singularly (w/ just a bit of support from Ballistic Baseball and King’s League) justifies the monthly cost of Apple Arcade.

Having said that, below are the barriers between the game as-is and a 5-star rating:

* The “Free Trade” ability of the Kid does not function properly. When used, 1 Action Point is still consumed. Using this ability AFTER exhausting all 3 Action Points is the only semi-functional workaround (though it also causes Kid’s available AP balance to display as -1).

* The added difficulty setting has been much appreciated, however even playing on “Hard” with my non-preferred character abilities begins to feel somewhat repetitive (not to mention easy - my record on Large Maps is 27-0, Medium is 9-0, and Small is 6-1 with the lone defeat coming in what was my 2nd ever game).

* To summarize, all this game needs is 1-or-2 minor bug fixes, perhaps an additional difficulty option that really floods the map with enemies,, and - most importantly - at least a little bit more variety (map size + layout, character options + abilities, monster types + spawn rates).

I think this game is really fun; I’ve always enjoyed games with randomly-generated levels and power-ups because of their “endless” playability potential. The graphics are nice, as well.

But to echo some other reviewers, there needs to be more of a point to playing this than simply acquiring larger boards or more characters. You can easily do this simply by playing a lot, rather than playing with specific tasks in mind. I’m also worried that once I do get the largest board and the 4th character, there won’t really be any purpose anymore. Does it just stop there? I’ve never lost a game, so maybe things should get more *difficult* instead of simply larger? Maybe there should be quests, or something to additionally complete in order to win?
Right now, it’s both too easy and too limited in scope. I wish I could give it 5 stars, though!

I don't have much to add to what others have been saying in regards to content. Hopefully we'll get an update with more characters, modes, etc. As it is, though, the game is a lot of fun with a charming presentation.
I wish the tutorial was bit more robust and there are multiple grammatical errors in the in-game manual. Additionally, this is one of those games that won't allow its audio and another app's audio to mix, meaning if you want to listen to a podcast or some music while playing, the game will be completely muted, which is a shame.
Play this game for sure, but keep those things in mind. I'll happily update this review if any of those issues are addressed.

This game has a good design premise, minis, and mechanics if you were to play it as a board game at home. On iOS….it only works for about 3 maps. Then the game’s engine seems to make it impossible to play. It will roll more natural 1’s than Will Wheaton, if you do too well the game will crash (had it crash 3 times in a row while I was making good progress, in game 4 there wasn’t any crashes yet I rolled 6 nat ones leading to a TPK), despite making the roll needed weapons sometimes won’t work, if you dual wield weapons sometimes only one damage counts despite both dice hitting, making noise with one character while being silent with others somehow causes the AI to target the silent members, and the barricade door option sometimes won’t populate at all while at other times it won’t let you break them either (usually whichever helps the AI).

Over the past couple of days I have been playing this game non stop and because of it, I have seriously considered keeping Apple Arcade being there aren’t many games I would play on there yet. On another note to the developers I would just like to let you know this is a glitch when you have the kid selected as one of your players, that his trade ability still will use up on of your AP (Actions) unless used as last move. I would also like to suggest if there is a way you could make it so we could bring up all the characters items at once, not to trade just to compare that would be amazing. Altogether though the game is very fun and entertaining I will continue to play!

The gameplay itself is great, and I love how you unlock new characters and items as you progress, but the gameplay is weighed down by quite a few glitches, mostly abilities that either don’t work (such as the kid’s free trade ability, which still used action points), or, that only partially work (such as the mechanic’s tough ability which can’t be healed back to full health when in use). I also had one of my games ended when I couldn’t search any more rooms, I’d use the search ability and instead of giving me an item the game would just use an action point and remove the card from the room. Also, the game interrupts music and other audio if you want to play it over the game, even if you turn off all sounds.

I don’t review often, but when a game like this comes along, I am stoked. It’s engaging, challenging at times, and otherwise rewarding in the sense that you accomplished a board. Unfortunately, there is not enough to warrant a 5 star, despite it being SO CLOSE.

1) more characters: I’d love to see more characters added, shoot I’d even pay for DLC characters on this one.

2) more variety: each map does not change the tasks, it’s always find the spires, what if there were challenges like “have 50% or more of your team exit the map,” or “kill so many monsters,” Or “Kill the boss to win the map.”

3) more monsters/skins: okay, I get it, it’s essentially Zombicide, and that’s awesome, but maybe we could have different skin-options for the monsters, or even a different skin pack for the whole game? Medieval skin-pack, perhaps?

There’s a lot of fun to be had in this game, don't get me wrong, but let’s get some more VARIETY. I want more STUFF. What do you say, Dev?

The game glitches one way or another for almost every local co op match I play :/ I don’t have any issues on other apps so I don’t think it’s my wifi. Out of 10 matches I’ve only finished about 3 because they make the game unplayable. Our health does not always match (my health displaying 1 for me but showing 3 on others’ screens), monsters won’t always show on both screens (will get attacked by monsters that don’t show up), sometimes it says one character is dead on one screen and not on another, the accuracy dice will take over and continue to roll past the end of the turn, preventing the other player from taking any more turns, and more. The game is actually really really fun so I would love to change to 5 stars if they get fixed !

Been really enjoying the game. It’s a great digital board game that I pass and play with my girlfriend. We ran into something that might be a bug? We were running a large map game. One of the characters died. Every turn after that, the game would just skip one of the character’s turns. No monsters were in that character’s space, and it would be different characters each time. Once 2 characters took their turn, the third character’s turn would be skipped. I couldn’t find anything in the rules that mentioned this being a rule. This has only happened once. Great game regardless!!!
