Omega Phenex, a high-speed mecha shooter from Japanese circle Surume Game Koubou, has secured a global publisher in Astrolabe Games after its crowdfunding campaign hit its 3 million yen goal in one day. An open beta runs until July 25, with a 2027 release planned.
Omega Phenex Commenced Project Six is a high-speed mecha shooter developed over eight years by a CG designer at the Japanese circle Surume Game Koubou. The game's crowdfunding campaign launched on June 25 and reached its first target of 3 million yen within 24 hours. By that point, the game had already accumulated over 130,000 wishlist registrations and 70,000 beta test participants on Steam.
On July 8, Astrolabe Games announced it would publish the game worldwide. The open beta, which began before the publisher announcement, is scheduled to run until July 25. The developer plans a 2027 release. The campaign's rapid success and the publisher deal indicate strong grassroots demand for niche mecha action, with further stretch goals planned beyond the initial funding milestone.
