The Otterman Empire

About

The Otterman Empire is a chaotic team shooter where you strap on a jetpack and blast through space to thwart a rogue otter’s destructive plans. Play solo or with up to three others as you switch between weapons, rocket around levels, and work together to disable Tiko’s experiments. The action is fast and forgiving, with simple controls and unpredictable hazards that keep every round lively. Available on PC, Xbox, and Switch, it leans into goofy fun without slowing down for long speeches or story beats. What pops here is the split-screen co-op, which feels tight despite the silly premise. The jetpack mechanics add a zippy layer of movement, letting you dodge and weave in ways that feel weightless. While reviews are mixed, the game’s charm and accessibility earn it a steady following among casual players. The 2020 release date means it’s had time to settle into its groove, and updates have kept the core loop polished. It’s not deep, but it’s consistently entertaining for short bursts of mayhem.
