    In all, Kromaia Ω is a diamond in the current outpouring of PSN titles that shouldn’t be overlooked based on its price tag. There are a couple of other game modes included in this new package, but the main campaign will take around eight enjoyable hours to complete. I didn’t even mention the unlockable grapple hook, a feature that opens up new levels of piloting expertise.

    Kromaia Omega’s technical shortcomings are kinks that can be ironed out. That I’m lavishing a game that physically ails me with so much praise is a testament to its glorious, grand vision. If other companies are bold enough to follow in Kraken Empire’s footsteps with similarly intricate shooters, this game could be the launch pad for a whole new subgenre and that’s exciting stuff indeed.

    Spectacular, fun and challenging, Koramaia Omega is a nice addition to PS4's catalogue. It's not very long, but it easy to enjoy it while it lasts.

    One fun shoot'em up that doesn't lasts long enough to become something significant in its genre.

    While Kromaia Omega can't quite live up to the classic space shooters of old, nor the crazy visual splendor of offerings like Child of Eden and Rez, it's certainly not a bad experience. There's just a lot you have to get used to here, like the navigation system and the somewhat lacking audio. Once you do, though, you'll find yourself happily taking flight for a few hours, alone or with a friend. I just wish it had a little more content to complete the room, man (and, yes, Big Lebowski reference, felt like it).

    This is a rather shortlived experience that dives head first into a pit of tedium after some early promise.

    Arcade fans might be willing to muddle through the comms breakdown, but while enjoyable, this is nothing to phone home about. [Jan 2016, p.94]

    Shoot'em up of spaceships with a minimalist retropunk aspect, whose spatial environment draws attention for its geometric shapes, spacesShoot'em up of spaceships with a minimalist retropunk aspect, whose spatial environment draws attention for its geometric shapes, spaces between objects and some discordance that you like or do not like; I personally liked it a lot because I am a lover of everything retro, minimal, geometry, shapes and what has to do with space.
    The game is very short, about 3-4 hours, so it is very easy to get all your trophies.
    Regarding control, it's good. There are spaceships game with controls much more complex and difficult than those of Kromaia, anyway this game is easy to move with the gamepad.
    The music is good, very consistent with the graphics and environment of the game.
    Kromaia is suitable for all audiences.
