Top-down Shooter Omen Blasting Out On Steam Now

Omen is a new retro-inspired top-down shooter from developer Codex Interactive LLC. It’s out now on Steam priced at $15 with a 10% discount running for the game’s launch. Players take the role of an immortal starship pilot sent to investigate the ruins of a fallen empire. The Omen is a top-down sci-fi extraction shooter; players will explore and loot the war-torn remains of a fallen galactic empire while shoring up a defensive front to combat waves of lurking pirates, opportunistic traitors, and savage cultists. 

 

Key features in Omen:

 

Base Defense Gameplay: Hordes of pirates, a legion of traitors, and an armada of cultists want you dead. Craft a variety of defensive structures and expand your base to withstand retaliatory enemy raids.

 

Extraction Shooter: Select a mission to complete allies’ objectives and extract valuable resources; if the enemy response fleet arrives, quickly stage your exit or be prepared to face powerful capital ships.

 

Four Act Saga: Uncover the truth behind The Veil across four distinct story arcs against a cosmic backdrop of Lovecraftian-styled myth. Each Act features a unique enemy faction and culminates in an epic boss battle.

 

Over 80 Items and Upgrades: Collect loot from enemy bases, select from a variety of ship hulls, and build a combination of over 80 weapons, defensive structures, abilities, and utility items. There are hundreds of different possible loadouts, each with unique strengths and drawbacks.
