Check Out Gameplay Footage From Upcoming Post-Apocalyptic MMO Shooter Omni

Taking out shambling zombies from afar is easy enough, it’s when their running and swarming you that things start to get interesting. That’s exactly the conditions you’ll be facing in Omni, the upcoming massively multiplayer online shooter slash loot game (MMOSSL) from three-man indie-developer North 3D. The studio says that the post-apocalyptic shooter is the first of its kind and promises a unique gameplay experience that deviates from traditional MMO combat.

“Omni escapes from the traditional MMOs combat system where players need to target enemies and fight them one by one. Instead we put players against hordes of enemies where not only being accurate is important but also having fast reflexes is crucial too. The way that players combine their weapons and equipment changes their play style. You can be a fast moving character focused on ranged weapons and traps or a slow tank like that smashes everything in its way with a huge hammer.”

The game also features a weight system that affects a character’s mobility, an equipment-based skill system, and world PvE events that have real-time effects. “Players can take control of swarm infested cities by killing all the swarm in the territory of the city,” explains the devs. “When this happens everyone on the server benefits from it by being able to get more quests, access to dungeons and more. When a city is under players control the swarm tries to invade it during random events and re-gain control of it once more. If players lose a city to the swarm all vendors, quest givers and special dungeons become unavailable.”

The game is still currently in development but will be available for pre-order soon. In the meantime, you can check out the gameplay videos below. You can also head over to the Omni official site to learn more.
