NEW GAME ARRIVAL: Omen of Sorrow: Arising Chaos (exA-Arcadia)
We have a hot new game available for you to enjoy, a new 1-on-1 fighting game by the name of OMEN OF SORROW: ARISING CHAOS. Twelve legendary monsters across horror history clash! Determine who is the strongest! Is it the Vampire or the Werewolf? Frankenstein or the Headless Horseman? The Hunchback or The Mummy? Each battle carries with it the stuff of legends, and each character’s unique play style comes with a lot of depth that rewards seasoned players. Don’t worry though, if you’re a button masher, you can still have fun with this one too.
This game is currently situated inside of our EXA ARC-1 game cabinet. We changed the screen orientation back to horizontal, and have also put Jitsu Squad Feat. The Samurai Pizza Cats into the same machine. We still have DoDonPachi True Death EXA Label, we’ve just moved it over to the 4K EXA cab with the giant screen. This game is 3 tokens to play, as it is a modern game with high-end graphics (likely the best graphics out of all the games we currently have).
For those who are curious about what is different or better about this particular version of the game, here’s a quick list:
- 3 Frame input lag response – The fastest, most responsive version of the game in existence!
- Improved graphics with full AA, 60 FPS, and faster load times
- Real arcade controls
- New voices and artwork, the latter produced by TEKKEN artist Junny
- Another Arcade Galactic exclusive, as no one else in Utah has this game!
Besides all that, playing these types of games is always better in the arcade, with your opponent right at your side, instead of against some anon online where network lag reduces the enjoyment of such games.
Omen of Sorrow: For the hardcore players
If you are a part of the “Fighting Game Community” (FGC), then Omen of Sorrow has been designed to reward you. The game comes with a resource game mechanic that rewards offensive and defensive play, or punishes poor players. There is also the unusual inclusion of a Training mode – our only fighter in the arcade with such a mode – that allows you to really test the characters out and get a feel for their movesets and mechanics.
Per the exA website: “Besides the usual special, EX and super moves, players are rewarded for aggressive play by gaining resources to be able to cancel any move into a special move to create devastating combos or activate Blessed mode to have access to this cancel ability for a limited amount of time. While players can escape from the opponent’s oppressive offense by using guard canceling counters, tech recoveries and escapes, they are punished for overly defensive play causing them to fall into a Doomed state which limits their available move set and prevents them from guarding consecutive attacks. Utilize the in-depth Training mode to find the ultimate combo & practice how to escape situations!“
If we find interest, then we will be happy to host some tournaments for this game in the near future. Come in to give this game a play, and bring a friend or two!
