Description

​

The Omins is a real-time strategy game inspired by classic god games such as Populous and Black & White.

​

Who are the omins?

The protagonists are tiny people called omins and belonging to different factions such as humans and orcs. The player will build their villages, train their skills, explore the map, collect resources and send them to war. On the other hand, the omins have desires that need to be satisfied to keep them happy. When sad, they may refuse to reproduce and may even decide to leave the faction. They also have three sets of skills that can be improved by training, fighting and working.

Omins can be either simple villagers, or laborers or soldiers. According to the equipped weapon, there are different types of soldiers divided in melee, ranged and mage soldiers. When reaching a certain level of ability, soldiers can be promoted to higher ranks that allow them to use more advanced gears and attacks. However, soldiers belonging to higher ranks will demand gold and other privileges in return.

​

Deities and Gardians

Titanic beasts called Gardians represent the connections between the omins and their deities. Such creatures can fight and cast divine powers on behalf of the deities. Some of these powers are beneficial and can be used to heal omins or teleport them from one point to another in the map. Others are destructive and can unleash firestorms and other calamities. The killing of the Gardian breaks the connection between the omins and the deity that, consequently, will be banned from the world of the omins.

​

Story mode

In the story mode, the omins of the player will travel from world to world in search of the powers permitting them to defeat the destruction deity Nefasto and its army of Gormuns, disgusting creatures that appear using magical portals. The player must complete all the objectives and then transfer his omins to the following world before the attacks of the Gormuns become overwhelming. In the final scenario, the player will face the final battle against Nefasto to decide the fate of all omins.
