Omega Quintet is a hybrid between an idol simulation game and a Japanese role-playing game for the PlayStation 4. The player plays as Takuto, the manager of the Verse Maidens, an idol group that use the power of song and dance to fight off a phenomenon called the "Beep" and save the world.

Digitally DownloadedApr 20154.5/5 starsBut to let the technical issues affect your opinion of Omega Quintet is to miss the point. This isn't a blockbuster. This is, effectively, an independent game from a small, creative team. And it's a massive success at being that. It's a deep JRPG mixed with both satire and humour, it's something you haven't seen before, and most importantly: it's fun. Real, genuine fun. Buy it.

Niche GamerChris GollmerApr 20158.5/10I was surprised by Omega Quintet, and extremely happy to say that this game has fixed a lot of those particular issues in my experience. Omega Quintet still has its flaws – mainly involving story and battle balancing – but it's one of the better titles that I've played from them and enjoyed. This game is a very welcoming addition to the Playstation 4's library and I really hope any avid JRPG player will enjoy this title.

Chalgyr's Game RoomMarc HurstJan 20188.5/10Omega Quintet is a jRPG that your wife/girlfriend/mother is going to look at you strangely for playing. Moreso than the usual looks you get from jRPGs. Crafted by the crew at Compile Heart, this entry in your library is super Japanese, even though it's been translated over. That is not meant in any sort of disparaging sense of the term, but instead, if you tend to embrace the concept of Japan's pop idols, and always wanted to turn those into battling jRPG characters, well this is your chance.

GameGrinAndrew DuncanMay 20154/10A great battle system and the ultimate in the sheer amount of customisation features, hampered by a metric-butt-ton of boring dialogue, dragging cutscenes which are boring to watch and boring characters.
