From the XX, XX Division. When the developers of famous game companies become independent, they follow them as a tag. At one time, this alone was pretty marketing. As a new game made independently by developers of well-known game companies, it feels like a certain level of fun is guaranteed. But, as most players know, the reality was a little different. Conversely, there were more games that didn’t have a reputation. That’s why it has become a rare expression lately.
Meanwhile, a game that was released on the 19th caught my eye. I found out that it was a game developed by the developers of Riot Games. League of Legends, Strategic Team Combat (TFT) and Valorant home run in a row, plus the hit anime Arcane, I coldly think it’s a game from the developers of Riot Games, who love world fame. Can not wait for.
Founded by 4 developers, Odyssey Interactive’s new game is “Omega Strikers”, a combination of fighting and soccer. It could be said that it is a MOBA style combat kick. Once you start, it’s not bad. According to Steam user reviews, 89% of the more than 2,000 reviews are positive, with a “very positive” rating. Rumor has it that it’s a free game, but it’s a rating that wouldn’t have been received if it wasn’t fun in the first place. Let’s take a moment to find out what kind of charm has received such a rating.
I mentioned soccer before, but strictly speaking, “Omega Strikers” is a bit different from soccer. It is a fundamental difference, not a difference in the use of similar skills or concepts. In general, a ball is used in football, but here, instead of the ball, you have to hit a puck called a core and put it in the opponent’s goal. It’s not just the difference between a ball and a core. It is possible to pass the ball high in a soccer match, but not in Omega Strikers. In any case, the movement of the core is limited to the floor.
Therefore, at first glance, the game of “Omega Strikers” may seem easier than ordinary football. You don’t have to worry about whether to take a pass to the ground or a lob. Not even the pass itself. However, that doesn’t mean “Omega Strikers” is a game where you shoot blindly. If it had been such a simple game, it probably wouldn’t have received such a good rating.
Basically, in a football match, the moment you step on the ball, the player and the ball move together, but “Omega Strikers” doesn’t. The core is always in smooth motion, so you have to keep moving and blow it towards the opponent’s door. And this is the moment when the fight, the flower of ‘Omega Strikers’, sees the light.
How to blow up a core in “Omega Strikers” is simple. All you have to do is hit the core with basic attacks and skills. Then the core will bounce depending on the angle. It may seem simple at first glance, but it’s actually not that simple again. This is because there are many things to consider, not just the direction of hitting the core, but the timing as well. Another one here. It is also important to know that your opponent will not let him go. First of all, it is beneficial to hit the core in one way or another so everyone is running towards the core. That’s why, when the game starts, it’s like when we used to play football as a child, everyone jumps on the ball with a ball.
Managing these comparisons is simple. It’s just a direct attack and you subdue the opponent. As you can see from the fact that he is fighting football, it is not foul to attack an opponent in “Omega Strikers”. No, rather, this is the rule. The only thing that doesn’t work is that it’s only used to blow cores with basic attacks. You have to use skills to attack your opponent. Of course, you can also use the ability to blow up the core or stop it from flying.
However, hitting the opponent at random doesn’t solve everything. When attacking your opponent, you need to aim for two main things. The first is the groggy state. Characters have stamina above their heads and when they use abilities to attack opponents and reduce their stamina, from then on they fall into a kind of dazed state and are stunned for a short time and bounce further away.
This alone will prevent you from using your strength in a center-focused physical fight, but the truth is there. It is a knockout that can be the focus of “Omega Strikers” fights. As a sort of over-the-counter decision, if you bounce off the stadium’s yellow line or your team’s goal, you’ll be removed from the game for a while. In other words, “Omega Strikers” combat should consider how to eliminate the blow by reducing the opponent’s health.
Since there are two players other than the goalkeeper role, they intensely attack a person and then eliminate effortlessly. If you are confident in your abilities, you can knock yourself out as you move around the stadium on your own. You can even knock out an opponent who is defending the goal while hitting the center in a match on the most important goal. As the game is played 3 to 3, the loss of one person means that the flow of the game has changed dramatically.
Of course, these abilities aren’t just for attacking enemies. I said it was the highlight of the game, but scoring a goal shouldn’t be overlooked. No matter how well you beat your opponent, it won’t mean anything if you fail to score at the end. Sometimes it is necessary to use it to block flying nuclei.
Tofu is typical. If you look at Tofu’s abilities, it consists of summoning obstacles in front of you or throwing obstacles in front of you.It can be used to attack the opponent, but the real essence is to protect the target. It can also be used to summon obstacles to the goal post at close times to deflect the core or blow up the flying core.
However, this doesn’t mean that a defensive-type character like Tofu should be included in the team. In “Omega Strikers”, anyone can be a goalkeeper. In addition to the balanced Juliet type able to respond to any situation, characters specializing in attack rather than defense, such as Dragkar or Estelle, can also take on the role of goalkeepers.
As mentioned above, there are characters with rather intuitive abilities and even Juno installing irregular obstacles. Since each character has a unique personality, like any other MOBA, each combination offers a different kind of fun.
Combinations aren’t just about characters. In addition to character combinations, you can also customize the same character to your liking by strengthening his abilities with a trait system called training. For example, you can set up a specialized workout to subdue your opponent by strengthening your attack power, or equip a workout that reduces cooldown so you can use skills faster than others. It is also possible to run on the field at high speed by training a speed-oriented workout to score and keep goals. Depending on the combination, the character’s weaknesses can be integrated or the strengths can be strengthened.
As such, “Omega Strikers” appears to be an easy game at first glance. hit the heart can subdue the enemy. By staying true to these two proposals, in less than 5 minutes of gameplay, you will learn the controls almost perfectly and you will know how to have fun.
It’s not an easy game though. When it comes to team games and longtime favorites, it’s easy to master, but it’s not just an easy game. To become the best, we needed a strategy game.
“Omega Strikers” is similar. You can play it haphazardly, but to really have fun, you need to know each character’s abilities and characteristics and combine the best training accordingly. It means you need to know a lot more to get to a higher position, while at the same time you need to be more vigilant than anyone else. It actually was. There have been many cases where I have come across a team with good people and I was helpless.
Currently, “Omega Strikers” is available for free via Steam and mobile devices. As it also supports mobile devices, you may be concerned that the charging element is strong, but luckily all characters can only be obtained by playing and there is no element that gets stronger by charging. If collecting money in the game is cumbersome, it is to the extent of paying a commission to unlock a character or purchase formation. The only thing that can be purchased for a fee is a costume that doesn’t affect gameplay at all, so it offers fair play for everyone.
It is ‘Omega Strikers’ which appeared recently while there is no news of a new MOBA. Unlike the general MOBA, I brought a unique topic called Fighting Football, but in this case it seems that this has become an advantage of “Omega Strikers”. Because other MOBAs are armed with differentiated fun. So, if you are a gamer looking for a new game, this time we recommend “Omega Strikers”. Since it is a game armed with the familiarity of MOBA and the uniqueness of combat football, I think it will be a fun game to play for tens of hours if it suits your taste.
