Genuinely one of the most underrated competitive games in modern gaming.

Omega Strikers has an extremely unique gameplay, I can only describe it as MOBA Air Hockey and it is addicting. The OSTs and artstyle of this game are immaculate!

In terms of criticism, I can only really say there is this lack of depth in the fun gameplay, I wish there was a much deeper mechanic to it that'll promote player skill expression more, in fighting game terms it's what players call the "sauce".

I am looking forward to what Odyssey Interactive is cooking, they've already announced that they're working on a new game set in the same Omega Strikers universe, I will be there day 1!

Honestly a very solid game that you can easily hop on everyday and play a few matches and enjoy yourself.

Think Rocket league mixed with a top down hero based action game that is how I would very much describe and if that sounds fun to you I 100% recommend giving this game a shot because the best part is ITS FREE TO PLAY.

Hoping this game continues to succeed as they update it further down the line !

Omega Strikers is a F2P Sports game and can be described as a 3v3 air hockey game with abilities.

The main objective of the game is to outsmart your rivals and score a certain amount of points to win the match. The amount of points to score differs from gamemode. Before scoring a point, there are some parts of the arena where the ball must hit first, after doing that, the gate which defends the goal opens and makes the opponents more vulnerable. At the beginning of each match, you choose your character with certain abilities. Each character's ability adds variety to each game. Before the match, after choosing your character, you also choose a buff, adding an additional bonus to the role you play. There are two roles, two forward players and one goalie. Choosing the right character for each role can be crucial to the outcome of the match.
Apart from abilities, you have different arenas, which differs by only the parts which must be hit before the goal become defenceless. Apart from that, you only have three gamemodes.
There are not many obligatory microtransactions for a F2P game to be honest, which is good, mostly fashion items, but the important thing are the characters, who can be bought with currency earned by simply playing the game.

Haxball trifft League of Legends. Die Formel geht auf und macht Spaß. Allerdings ist es auch ganz schön chaotisch und mir fällt es schwer einzuschätzen ob ich, wenn ich gewinne, besonders gut oder die Gegner besonders schlecht sind.

Diese "Standortbestimmung" ist für mich in kompetitiven Spielen sehr wichtig und wenn sie fehlt, dann motivieren mich solche Spiele deutlich weniger. Außerdem werde ich leicht frustriert, wenn ich verliere und kein Gefühl dafür habe woran das liegt. Das kommunizieren andere Spiele deutlich besser.
Insgesamt für ein paar Runden mit Freunden sehr spaßig, aber langfristig packt es mich nicht genug um mehr Zeit zu investieren.
