Meet Omega Five’s new character, The Tempest

Fans of the shooter genre will be thrilled to know that there’s an update to Omega Five (by Hudson Entertainment for XBLA) in the form of a new character aptly named The Tempest. The Tempest is a mean thick-skinned, four-armed alien, wielding the nastiest elements as his weapons: Volcanic Fire, Corrosive Acid and even Molten Metal.

The above weapons are pretty self-explanatory. Volcanic Fire is a fire-type attack, which can lock onto hapless targets. Corrosive Acid shoots liquid rounds in wide angles with a limited range. Effective for enemies that get a little bit too close for comfort. The third weapon type, Molten Metal, is the most deadliest: The Tempest hurls Molten Metal in deadly, boiling bursts, and is capable of shooting four bursts in one attack as an Alternate Weapon.

The Tempest can also reflect enemy attacks using his Reflector Barrier, and dodge attacks by hiding in another dimension for a limited time, and even unleash a nuclear-level attack (after collecting 100 p-chips).

Sounds like a force to be reckoned with? You bet he is. Stay tuned for more Omega Five updates!
