Omega Strikers is a free-to-play action sport video game, developed and published by Odyssey Interactive. The game features short, three-on-three online multiplayer matches, in which players compete to score more goals than the opposing team.[1] It was released on April 27, 2023, on Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android,[2][3] with a release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, at a later date.[4]

Gameplay

Matches in Omega Strikers consist of two teams of three players, who fight to score by sending the Core, a large hockey puck, into the opponent's goal. The game is presented from a top-down perspective, with the whole playfield visible at once.[5]

Players can choose from a cast of characters, known as Strikers. Each Striker has a unique set of abilities which can be used to attack enemy players, move the Core, buff your allies, debuff your enemies, and more.[6] When a character takes damage, their stagger bar increases, which makes it easier for their opponents to knock them back, or even off the field entirely for a short duration. Through interactions like scoring goals, knocking out enemies, making saves, etc., you would obtain experience points that can power up your strikers throughout the game.[1]

Development

Omega Strikers is developed and self-published by Odyssey Interactive, a studio composed of former staff of Riot Games.[7]

The game entered a closed beta testing phase on 16 September 2022, and transitioned to an open beta shortly after.[8]
