Omen of Sorrow

Omen of Sorrow

Monsters of classic horror and mythology clash to take back the night!

In a hidden underworld ruled by creatures of the night, a new terror has awakened! Omen of Sorrow brings monsters of horror, literature and mythology together for a fighting game experience unlike any other. Inspired by numerous arcade classics but offering its own unique innovations and mature aesthetics, Omen of Sorrow positively bleeds style!

Featuring a roster inspired by such icons as Frankenstein’s monster and Egyptian high priest Imhotep, this traditional 4-button fighting game rewards or punishes players based on how aggressive their playstyle is, putting a skill-centric spin on combat while keeping the experience accessible to newcomers. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, Omen of Sorrow’s 2.5D brawling spans a multitude of detailed locations with handcrafted animations and cinematic finishers, all set to a masterful soundtrack by composer Francisco Cerda.

The previously downloadable bloody countess Erzsébet now joins the main roster, alongside a massive blood dragon at her command. With a dozen vicious combatants at your command, who will you lead to victory, and who will fall to your bloodlust?

Features:

  • Select from a varied roster of characters inspired by horror classics.

  • Use cinematic finishers to take down opponents in style!

  • Explore single-player modes against the CPU or challenge friends online.

  • Strategize on the fly and turn the tide of battle through aggressive play!

One Try Tower is a reaction-based roguelike horror sidescroller.

You’ll find yourself in a tower consisting of three different locations each of which will have two parts. Locations could be described as library prison and warehouse.

Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues

Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues

It sure is nice to have a new beat em up to play. They don’t make too many of these anymore. I particularly like the tie in to the excellent Cobra Kai netflix series. Unlike the show, don’t expect this to have any good writing (save for the genuinely funny one liners that the characters have after winning a fight). This is purely a fighting game, one that is clearly a loving homage specifically to the Streets of Rage series. It’s both better and worse than Streets of Rage 4, which I’ll get in to later. Everyone you run across in the street from hippies to mothers to emo kids are all inexplicably out for your blood, which is funny in its own regard. Sometimes characters will provide humorous meta commentary on this. Every character of note in the netflix series is either playable or is a boss in some level. Cobra Kai has fire powers while Miyagi Do has ice powers. Tone wise, it’s far more light and irreverent than the show; it does not take itself seriously in the slightest. Some might find this off-putting, but subjectively this works quite well.

Loved the Karate Kid movies when I was young, I did not really follow the Cobra Kai series but I’m guessing it’s as cheesy as the movies, if not more. There is no lack of cheesiness in this game, that’s for sure.

Beat ‘em Up games also give me those nostalgic feelings of back in the day when I used to play games like; Golden Axe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV, Fighting Force, Double Dragon and Streets Of Rage to name a few.

Graphically, I can’t say the game is gorgeous but it also didn’t really bother me that much. It actually made me think of another Beat ‘Em up “Double Dragon Neon” , a game which I couldn’t get into.

A commendable effort from this solo dev…

First off, huge kudos to the solo dev for putting together this game alone. It’s impressive, and the fact that it’s only a solo dev behind the game should be taken into consideration when reading my review of the game. And ontop of that, the 2 BIGGEST issues that I have with this game, are completely fixable, so if the dev wants to, then they can certainly get a positive review from me once those are fixed.

Pros: #1. It looks very pretty

#2. The combat sounds and also music are on-point

An amazing and gorgeous product from a single-man production. Just take it for what it is and you’ll get a couple of enjoyable hours out of it.

  • You can pick up different weapons (sword, axe, spear…) which apparently cause the same amount of damage. I just choose the one I liked the most and stayed with it until the end. Shields lose their usefulness in the second half of the game, or once you realize that offense is the best defense. They also break easily.

Bow, which is part of your initial equipment, is a welcome addition to the arsenal. It can be a powerful tool when aiming for those headshots! It’s always fun to pull on the string and drop the ones foolish enough to charge at you without a shield.

Once upon a time…

There was a prince on a mission to save a princess from the hands of a terrifying dragon. This prince, however, wasn’t very brave, so his father ordered a witch to enchant a sword. This magical sword had a will of its own and was, unlike the prince, brave and wise.

Together they embarked on an adventure of a lifetime.

A fairy tale with a twist!

You play as the sword of the prince. Everyone in the land thinks the prince is brave and adventurous, but in reality his magical sword is all that.

Use your mouse to help the knight go through dangerous environments.

  • Defeat enemies

  • Avoid spikes

  • Slay the dragon

  • Save the princess!

#### Don’t like reading?

No worries. You write the story by playing it.

Ooh, and if you do let the prince die, we’ll just tear out that page!

#### Controls

You only need your mouse!

You control the sword with your mouse by moving it around. The prince will follow the sword, unless he is scared. Which happens more often than not. Because the prince is afraid of a lot of things. His fears include spikes, birds, green blobs, moles, heights, first dates, germs, fire and of course dragons!

By holding the right mouse button near the prince you can drag him to safety while he shivvers in his armor. You can also spin and swing the sword with the left mouse button to hit enemies or deflect projectiles.

#### What can you expect from this game?

• 2 hours of gameplay!

• 25 levels

• Experience what it’s like to be a sword
