Omega Five is an all-new, original IP for Xbox Live Arcade, with production values that rival those of a retail product. It is the continuation Hudson’s three-part commitment to bringing premier content to download services for consoles: classic IP, original IP, and licensed IP.
The gameplay follows the tradition of past side-scrolling shooters: as the screen scrolls from right to left, you move your character in two dimensions, either shooting or dodging enemies and their attacks. As you proceed, you can collect both weapon upgrades for your normal attacks and “chips” to power-up your special attacks.
