The Omega Strain

The Omega Strain is a retro-inspired 3D arcade shooter about piloting a spacecraft against an alien strain spreading across the galaxy. You travel between eight handcrafted planets, explore their environments and complete objectives while balancing thrust, gravity and momentum. Precision flying matters as much as firepower.

Eight worlds

The planets include frozen landscapes with drifting snow, rainforests under violent thunderstorms and scorching deserts. Each has its own environments, weather systems, enemies and objectives, and introduces new gameplay mechanics. You can fully explore all eight 3D worlds.

Skill-based combat

You face agile drone swarms, airborne bombers that can release devastating payloads, deadly battleships and gigantic Motherships that deploy attack waves. Navigate dangerous terrain and incoming fire as you maneuver your craft. Victory depends on precise flying rather than grinding for upgrades.

Simulation mode

After completing the campaign, you can unlock Simulation Mode. It generates endless combat scenarios from procedurally combined planets, objectives and enemy waves, with difficulty that increases over time. Compete for the highest score on global leaderboards and try to survive as long as possible.

RetroMesh Engine

The custom-built RetroMesh Engine recreates the clean, low-poly look of early 1990s polygon graphics, using modern hardware for smooth gameplay and large worlds. Designed from scratch in C#, it includes fast low-poly rendering, dynamic weather, large-scale boss encounters, custom AI and 3D positional audio. The game also features Steam Achievements and Steam Leaderboards.
