Omen of Sorrow Nintendo Switch Review 7/10 "The Horror! The Horror!" 👊 @eastasiasoft #IndieGame #GameDev

When one thinks of horror icons pugilistically going at it hammer and tongs in a video game environment, the Darkstalkers series springs to mind.

Bright, cartoonish and 2D, Capcom’s ‘90s one-on-one fighter stood apart from others in the genre by having instantly recognisable archetypes from the pantheon of horror for players to choose from and rain down violent misery upon their opponents.

The gothic horror lover in me always enjoyed the games and especially the characters within.

Eastasiasoft’s Omen of Sorrow takes the same idea in a different direction and the 3D visuals and gloomier, darker, more gothic take on things result in a solid fighting game, but one that perhaps doesn’t quite bring the personality that makes a game a classic.

King of the Arcade casts the player as a once-adored arcade master that has now fallen to the lows of living in his mum’s basement, with zero cash and mounting debt. In a last-ditch attempt to get a job, he applies at the local arcade, where the owner recognises him from his glorious gaming past.

Sworn to a life out of the limelight, our protagonist is dragged into a situation where he must once again waggle his joystick better than anyone else, as he strives to best the thugs from a competing arcade at their chosen games…or not, as the case may be.
