Astro Boy: Omega Factor: Difference between revisions

** Some of the Omega Factor characters are hidden frustratingly well. While Max Sensors helps (Astro will point out when a character is in a given segment), you'll still be spending a lot of time looking around.

** An entire ''subplot'' necessary to complete the game is initiated in a rather unintuitive manner: {{spoiler|by ''repeating the tutorial level'', since that's the only place barring cutscenes where Astro interacts directly with Dr. O'Shay (Astro will confront him about Dr. Tenma). Made worse by the fact that the game discourages you to do so to begin with by having O'Shay ask if you've forgotten the basic controls when you start}}.

* [[Hit Points]]: But by the three-quarters point of Rebirth, they stop mattering.

* [[Hollywood Atheist]]: One important quest has Astro proving wrong an archeologist, Boon, who doesn't believe in anything that cannot be proved by science. {{spoiler|By calling up Magma who is very advanced and is somehow neither animal nor machine, according to Boon himself.}}

* [[Multi Mook Melee]]: So much the game lags A LOT because of it.

* [[Musical Gameplay]]: A minor example. While hitting enemies into each other does produce increasingly high-pitched xylophone sounds, they're not particularly synched to the music or anything else.

* [[Nintendo Hard]]: It's a [[Treasure]] game, folks! On Easy you begin each life with with, ridiculously, 30 Super attacks and can stock up to 99 of them and enemies deal very low damage. On Hard? Nightmare. Enemies will tear about half of your HP with the lightest of attacks, you can have only 3 Supers now and there are MANY things that can kill you in a single hit. Let's state that we are not talking about bottomless pits or death spikes. Rebirth Mode is a living hell on ''any'' difficulty.

* [[No Final Boss for You]]: The first time through the game you cannot access the final stage. Finishing the game again lets you access [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]].

* [[RPG Elements]]

* [[Scoring Points]]

** In addition to Tezuka works, the game is jam-packed with references to previous Treasure game ''[[Alien Soldier]]''. For examble, the Artificial Sun has been redesigned to resemble one of AS's minibosses and Mazin Garon fights almost exactly like Leo-Z.

** References to ''[[Gunstar Heroes]]'' are also present: the background in one level features buildings that have signs reading "'''Gunstar'''", Pook refers to his different forms as "Forces" (similar to the ''[[Gunstar Heroes]]''-boss, Seven Force), and two songs from ''[[Gunstar Heroes]]'' were remixed for ''Astro Boy: Omega Factor".
