Omega Strike, released on PC, PS4 and XONE, is a two-dimensional action game, belonging to the metroidvania sub-genre. The game has a vast, open world and allows you to control one of several different heroes. The game was developed by Woblyware (known from League of Evil).
Dr. Omega and his mutant legions seek to gain power over the world. Only a few brave heroes stand up against them.
The action in Omega Strike is observed from a side perspective. During the game, we control one of the three characters (each of them has access to different skills and weapons), but we can freely switch between them. The gameplay focuses on exploring vast, open and varied levels, finding hidden treasures and fighting enemies there are dozens of their variants - including several powerful bosses). As the game progresses, we develop skills and weapons.
Omega Strike has a single player mode only.
Omega Strike has a two-dimensional, old-school graphic design in pixelart style. The graphics are very colorful and make a rather positive impression. Noteworthy are the beautiful and highly diversified projects of individual locations.

Nindie Spotlight: 6.5 / 10 by Nindie Spotlight
If you’re looking for a decent run and gun experience with a hint of puzzling thrown in Omega Strike isn’t a bad option, just don’t expect many surprises along the way. It has no major flaws to speak of, is designed reasonably well, and puts up a bit of a challenge in spots, especially when save points get a bit spread out. There are definitely more ambitious titles already on the eShop but in a pinch this makes for some decent variety, especially if you are looking for something a bit old school.

It might sound like I'm being overly hard on Omega Strike but I did have a decent time with it.
Nintendo Life: 6 / 10 by Dom Reseigh-Lincoln
Omega Strike is a fun and enjoyable little 2D Metroidvania with some side-scrolling shooter sensibilities. It doesn't do anything particularly new or interesting – and its ‘unique' character-swapping concept was done a lot better by Broforce – but if you're looking for a modern tribute to Metal Slug that's fun and challenging in a very familiar way, then Omega Strike is likely to scratch that common itch. Just keep those expectations in check as this isn't the most original or exciting example the genre has to offer.
