Omega Factor features elements from Astro Boy's different incarnations. The game features two difficulty levels in the Japanese version, and three in the North American and European versions.

This is generally not necessary to beat the game, but the incremental stat increases can make the game easier, as well as allowing the player to find hidden areas in levels. Every non-player character the player meets scores a point that can be used to improve one of Astro's stats, such as strength or flight speed. Astro is also able to fly using rocket power, which is also sometimes necessary.Īstro's physical performance improves throughout the game. Once the gauge is filled, Astro is able to perform a special attack rather than simply helping the player, these are required in some situations.

Using attack moves slowly fills a gauge at the top of the screen. Astro attacks enemies using high-powered punches and kicks, which can also knock enemies into other ones and destroy them as well. Omega Factor is a beat 'em up game starring Astro Boy, the main character of the Astro Boy media franchise.
