Othercrown is an upcoming slot machine autobattler from Katanaut dev Voidmaw

Mike Holmes

I was a big fan of Katanaut when it came out, and so when I heard that Voidmaw, the game’s developer, had just announced something new, I clicked over to see what sort of abomination awaited me.

Othercrown is very much not the abomination that I expected, but I’m intrigued nonetheless! After having taken a closer look at the new slot machine autobattler, which was announced via a new Steam page today, I’m absolutely up for playing a villain and raising an army of ‘orrible monsters!

The premise sounds like a fusion of addictive ingredients, with slot machine engine building feeding into automated battles where your armies are sent to battle those belonging to the pesky humans.

While it bears little resemblance to Katanaut in terms of aesthetics and mechanics, Othercrown retains the developer’s stylish approach to visual design. I think it looks really cool, with the army you build using your slot reels then appearing on the battlefield below, as you can see in the screenshot below.

If you’re also keen to see how this one develops, hit the link and wishlist Othercrown over on Steam. There, it states that the roguelike autobattler is coming to PC (Win) in Q1 2027.
