Omen of Sorrow is a fighting game that takes characters from classic literature and pits them against a more horror-themed background to layout this story-driven fighter. It is the vision of developer AOne Games who are a small independent team formed in 2015 and looks to be their first major release. Hopefully, it can stand up to some of the other fighters currently on the market without being knocked out.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "The foundations for a good and ambitious fighter can be seen in Omen of Sorrow. It was a commendable effort by its developers, but sadly, the game falters in its minuscule roster size, pointless story mode and ridiculous trophy requirements. Still, I am actually glad this game exists. There’s something about it that made it extra charming. Omen of Sorrow reminded me a lot of those adorable mid-tier fighting games that were everywhere during the Nintendo 64/PS1 generation. Games like Fighters Destiny, Bio Freaks, War Gods, Mace: The Dark Age. Games that weren’t able to compete with the big ones, but sure as hell tried, and we all lauded the attempt. That’s Omen of Sorrow in a nutshell. Flawed, but I respect the hustle."
The horror-themed brawler from AOne Games, Omen of Sorrow attacks PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Steam on 23rd March 2023.
Have it for PS4 already, it’s actually not bad. I am a huge Darkstalkers fan, so to get anything like this is a real treat. Eyeballing the limited edition on playasia, pretty nice looking package. Not sure to grab it for switch or PS5. Will these versions be enhanced from the PS4 version is my question.
TGC: With a very limited physical edition for consoles
This game I have for ps4, it's not very good to politely put it. Don't bother seeking this one out. You ain't missing anything.
