Idol JRPG, Omega Quintet, will be released later today on Steam priced at $29.99, with a pretty nice 40% launch discount reducing the price to just $17.99.
But just what the heck is Omega Quintet? Five girls with powerful musical abilities, are the only ones who can save the world! These idols must use their powers of song and dance to wipe out the evil infesting the land forever. So, you know, a typical day in Japan.
On a technical level Omega Quintet is a hybrid JRPG and Idol Simulation. Players use five super-cute idols’ sound weapons against the Blare’s evil forces. Build an arsenal of deadly attacks and skills and hype up your fans to unlock powerful combo attacks.
- In Concert Mode gain a boost from your music, fill your Voltage Gauge faster and unlock your most powerful special skills
- Change outfits, accessories, hair and mics. Be careful enemies don’t hit you with an outfit-busting “Costume Break”, leaving you vulnerable to attack and red-faced in front of your fans
- Sing your foes into oblivion using the “Harmonics” system: weave different idols’ skills into incredibly deadly chain combos. Add each skill in the correct order to multiply the pain
- Use the powerful PVS system to choreograph and produce unique music videos of your idols greatest hits. Then use your mouse to throw in extra effects during the concert
It’s an interesting mash-up of two different style of games, and early reviews have been pretty positive, so this might be a title to check out over the weekend.
