PC Invasion: 8 / 10 by Andrew Farrell

Serene and pleasant, but short and uncomplicated, Omno has a lot of sights worth seeing.

TheGamer: 4 / 5 by Cian Maher

It would be easy for someone to say that Omno does nothing new, but the reason it’s easy to say that is because it’s completely incorrect. Omno has plenty of imaginative and ingenious ideas - they’re just unfortunately hampered by more established ones that didn’t need to be there.

TechRaptor: 9 / 10 by Catherine Dellosa

Omno provides a great escape from this suffocating world we live in today through its complete absence of any gloom and doom. Jonas Manke a.k.a. StudioInkyfox initially created this passion project as an escape on Kickstarter, and it really does deliver. Just be sure to play this game on a platform that doesn't just fulfill its minimum requirements-I had the misfortune of installing it first on a PC that was so choppy and laggy I couldn't even make the shortest jump across two platforms.

Full Review

Omno is an adventure game enriched with platformer elements. The production was developed and released by StudioInkyfox, a one-man company led by Jonas Manke, an independent German developer for whom this is a debut project.

Story

Omno takes us on a journey to a fantasy land once inhabited by a powerful civilization. We travel through this strange world as a man equipped with a magical staff.

Mechanics

In Omno the action is shown from the third person perspective (TPP). The main element of the game is the exploration of the world - our character travels through dense forests, sunburned desert and frosty tundra. The protagonist encounters a variety of animal-like creatures - from jellyfish that float in the air, to friendly rodents, to giant creatures similar to dinosaurs.

The game also revolves around several other important elements, such as puzzle solving, platformer sections, and avoiding various obstacles, in the case of which the above-mentioned staff proves indispensable. Thanks to the magical abilities that the staff provides, the protagonist can activate ancient mechanisms or move from place to place without any issues by floating just above the ground or by using a kind of teleportation. In addition, over time we also unlock new skills for our character.

Technical issues

Omno is based on the Unreal Engine 4 engine. The three-dimensional graphics of this production attract attention not only because of their rich colours but also because of the interesting design.
