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.[3]

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.[4] 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.[2]

The game entered a closed beta testing phase on 16 September 2022, and transitioned to an open beta shortly after.[5]
