Omicron Protocol, a short review.
Omicron Protocol, crafted by Dead Alive, emerges as a standout entry-level miniature wargame, expertly balancing accessibility and depth. Bernie Lin's pitch rings true – it's a complete and near-perfect beginner's package. The hex map innovation simplifies gameplay without sacrificing strategic nuances, offering a refreshing experience for both veterans and newcomers. Streamlined mechanics, from movement to line of sight, redefine the genre standards. For solo and cooperative play, Omicron Protocol delivers engaging alternatives, though the cooperative mode's resource division may not resonate with everyone. The inclusion of beefed-up CyMS and adjusted movement rules in solo play adds a layer of excitement. However, the cooperative mode's resource split feels less favorable, echoing a trend found in other games like War of the Ring and Rebellion. A strong recommendation accompanies these observations, emphasizing Omicron Protocol's place at the forefront of miniature wargaming suggestions. Yet, caveats exist. The art, deemed substandard, and the average quality of miniatures present opportunities for improvement. In an era where competitors produce visually stunning pieces, Omicron Protocol falls slightly short. The suggestion of a faction-colored base coat for better readability is a practical enhancement that could elevate the overall visual appeal. In conclusion, despite minor visual drawbacks, Omicron Protocol remains an excellent choice for those stepping into miniature wargaming, offering an accessible yet strategic gaming experience.
