Japanese indie developer Surume Koubou has announced that Astrolabe Games will publish OMEGA PHENEX COMMENCED PROJECT SIX. The open playtest is still available now on Steam.
According to a press release, Astrolabe will publish the game “worldwide across major platforms.” While PC is the only confirmed platform for now, it is possible that it will also release for PlayStation, Xbox, and/or Nintendo Switch. Further, the beta supports English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. The game will launch in 2027.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the game via Steam:
You will become a pilot of the mech ‘Icarus’, which has tremendous maneuverability. You will enjoy a fight and face large powerful armies and rivals by moving from skimming the surface of the sea to the cloud with Icarus. This game is a high-speed mech shooting game capable of firing massive amounts of missiles.
Immerse yourself in tactile mech action at overwhelming speeds.
This work is characterised by an overwhelming sense of speed. There are no restrictions on turning speed, and the consumption of the boost gauge required for high-speed movement and flight is set to a moderate level. Enemy bullets are easy to avoid, making it easy to enjoy high-speed combat.
Aim controls follow those of general shooting games such as FPS and TPS, so that even those unfamiliar with robot games will find the game easy to play.
Mechanical customization system for both appearance and performance.
It also features the mech’s customization functions, such as changing parts and painting capabilities. The performance of each part varies slightly, but the performance of the mechs is largely determined by the ‘Tune’ function. This ‘Tune’ can be used to enhance any parameter of your choice, such as durability value, mobility, or weapon performance by spending a limited predefined amount of the cost.
This allows you to customize your mechs’ to your preferred appearance while pursuing your preferred fighting style.
More than 30 missions, plus an ‘Arena Mode’ for one-on-one battles.
The game includes a wide variety of missions, such as extermination, exploration missions, boss battles and escort missions (we are considering a less stressful specification for the escort missions). In addition, there is an ‘Arena Mode’ for one-on-one combat with the enemy ‘Icarus’.
