No Rogue
Nintendo Switch knows Roguelite games. Omega Strike for Nintendo Switch is not one.
The Nintendo eShop, however, is full of them.The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+, Dead Cells, or Enter the Gungeon offer variable play.
In each game you have no major save points and an assortment upgrades each time you play the games.
Omega Strike gets to be basic. Wolbyware’s title is a metroidvania, action, and adventure game.
A Metroidvania game is a two-dimensional title that has “exploratory” elements. You play through and save your game.
You do some back tracking, but conclude the game with a little less frustration. Omega Strike has a basic setup, but is it worthy of your attention?
Omega Tale
You play as Sarge, Bear, or Dex to take on lethal enemies.
They explore the world, find goodies, and defeat Doctor Omega and his hordes. The game allows you to switch between the three super soldiers.
Each soldier has a rifle type, which includes a shotgun, assault rifle or launcher, and a special ability.
Use their guns, and abilities, over seven areas of the game and defeat Doctor Omega.
The game offers up to 45 different enemies to defeat. Omega Strike works in the Nintendo Switch’s portable, television, or Joy-con modes.
Use the control pad, or analog stick to move Sarge, Bear, or Dex. Use the Minus button to bring up maps to explore the world of Omega Strike. The L and A buttons activate each character’s special action.
The R and Y buttons fire each character’s weapons. Use The B button to make Sarge, Bear, and Dex jump. The X button allows you to switch between Sarge, Bear, and Dex.
The Terrain
At first glance, Omega Strike should have a connection to Metal Slug.
The games are only similar because they have guns in them. Omega Strike really exists between Mega Man and Metal Slug. Metal Slug is a multiplayer, arcade, action title. Omega Strike is a one-player platform title, first.

Metal Slug is a multiplayer, arcade, action title. Omega Strike is a one-player platform title, first. Players explore and back track levels to find bosses, get items, and special power-ups.
The game presents battles with a variety of enemies over open levels and deadly boss fights that mimic Mega Man’s boss battles.
Players do not have to search for ammunition, and have infinite firepower, but can upgrade the range and strength of their standard weapons.
Like River City Ransom, characters can visit a shop to upgrade their character, increase their health, and purchase critical food items. The artificial intelligence’s challenge in this game works from bottom to top. Early levels of this game offer semi-difficult enemies.
The deeper portion of this title increases the challenge in both boss and enemies’ attacks. Enemies, along with the level design, offer newer, more stringent, strategies to defeat the player in the later levels.
Conclusion
Omega Strike is not a blockbuster game with multiple programmers and designers. This is a game by Lauri Paakinaho. The visuals, audio, code, and design come from one individual.
The game is nostalgia and passion. Omega Strike does not glitch. It does not have phantom errors or issues. It works, well.
The exploratory elements of this game can linger, but the maps for this game get you through it all. You could require more weapon types for this game, but the base weapons, with upgrades, work for thisexperience. Omega Strike is decent.

However, this game could use the online treatment. Nintendo has the service Nintendo Switch Online. The service offers online play, with the help of the Nintendo Switch smart phone application, for some Nintendo Switch titles.
The service also designates online play elements to classic Nintendo games. The Nintendo Eshop offers a number of new games with classic game play.
Omega Strike can offer players competitive modes, special outfits, weapons, and new mission downloads, to extend Omega Strike’s experience.
The game as it is now is fine, but get it on Nintendo Switch Online and open up the possibilities.
Purchase Omega Strike, but if Nintendo hears this, give this game, and others, an online life. What can Nintendo and WoblyWare do together?
