Omega Quintet

The combat and music are the highlights here, even if the game doesn't capitalize on the hardware.

No summary available

Omega Quintet is a competent role-playing game that builds on Compile Heart’s previous successes. The combat system works well and there’s an absolute glut of content for those willing to stray from the beaten path. That said, it’s not a particularly stunning game to watch, looking more like a remaster than a title genuinely meant exclusively for PlayStation 4. Then there’s the inevitable culture clash that comes from Omega Quintet’s story and setting, as well as its emphasis on popstars as opposed to armoured knights and space travellers that just won’t have the same appeal outside its origin...

Compile Heart's Galapagos RPG label returns with Omega Quintet, a game in which pop idols are the only hope of salvation from the Blare. Is chart-topping success on the cards?

Though there’s nothing explicitly wrong with it, Omega Quintet feels far too much like a “by-the-numbers” Compile Heart title to do justice to the studio’s first current-gen effort. Its narrative and aesthetic “fluff” ultimately fail to support its dense and otherwise engrossing mechanical heart. For a game about a bunch of girls finding their voices and path in the world, it has distressingly little “voice” of its own.
