Omegaland

Omegaland is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. This is such an obvious ripoff of Super Mario Bros that I am astounded Nintendo haven't sued yet. I'm surprised the developer went through enough effort to make the character anything other than a plumber. This kind of creative bankruptcy obviously doesn't offer anything to gamers, especially not when coupled with awful platformer mechanics and even worse graphics. Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this loo…

Free old school platformer the game is pretty amazing, after about halfway through, the level design really really kicks it up a notch.

It was so much fun, until the glitch levels... they kill the entire experience!

Игра Omegaland зацепила меня своим мрачным, но притягательным миром. Ощущение постоянной тревоги и опасности, смешанное с любопытством, заставляло исследовать каждый уголок этого заброшенного города. Сюжет, хоть и подается довольно скупо, оставляет после себя больше вопросов, чем ответов, что подогревает интерес. Графически игра выполнена в минималистичном стиле, но это скорее идет ей на пользу, создавая неповторимую атмосферу. Звуковое сопровождение отлично дополняет визуальную часть, усиливая впечатление от каждой локации. Однако, стоит отметить, что геймплей может показаться несколько однообразным. В основном приходится бродить по локациям, собирать предметы и решать простые головоломки. Отсутствие активных действий, вроде сражений, может оттолкнуть некоторых игроков. Тем не менее, Omegaland - это игра, которая цепляет своей атмосферой и ощущением одиночества в забытом месте. Если вы любите игры с сильным упором на атмосферу и готовы мириться с не самым динамичным геймплеем, то Omegaland definitely стоит вашего внимания.

Alright, editing my initial review. Omegaland is an interesting game, it has a dreamers ending, but is still story-wise manageable to follow, and good for thinking on. It has fun quips. However, Omegaland shines in it's mechanics. It is like mario on steroids, after a certain hurdle you return to mario lite difficulty however. There is a fun system of upgrades that is opened up later on. Was Omegaland worth 100%ing? Yea, was it a good game...only an ok game. If you're a fan of mechanics hell, play it.
