No accounting for taste, I suppose. I think it looks pretty sweet with the stages and the characters! But I'm into the Gothic Horror scene, and 'Omen of Sorrow' is pretty much 'Darkstalkers' without all the campy goofiness. So maybe I'm just biased.

Just a couple additional thoughts after watching the video again. I got to know Omen of Sorrow for the first time through an article on Shoryuken in ~2016-2017 and got to play an early build at Gamescom in 2018 (or 2017, I unfortunately can't remember the exact year). My inner child squeed at the sight of Kaleb shooting a laser from his mouth. Unfortunately at that time it was PS4 only, so I didn't manage to get to play its final version. Some people I know in the South American scene later linked me some articles about the issues with the game development, the misguided focus on a cinematic story mode and the fact that apparently the cutscenes were made before the story was finalized (which might explain why the ending feels so darn unsatisfactory, but this is a personal opinion). Omen of Sorrow had great potential, I really liked how Arctorius felt like Nightmare from Soulcalibur with all those stances. Both Imhotep and he are among the most interesting fighting game characters I have ever seen, despite all the game's flaws. Omen of Sorrow truly deserved better :/

Right off the bat, it's ugly. It looks cheap and the characters have a weird action figure visual style. Those stages being that big also make me question if anyone on that team actually plays fighting games. Corner pressure is a big tension builder and helps make games exciting. If you're going to have stages that big, you need to give characters very fast movement or attacks with massive knockback.

I know some of the team that worked on the game! I think the summary for its issues is: 1) it was their first project, 2) it was very mismanaged, 3) there is/was very little game dev in Chile, so there was very few people with experience in the industry they could learn from (or much less hire). I also heard that their marketing man decided to get into fights online because "all publicity is good publicity", so that probably explains the twitter. I think he got kicked out after that. The game made basically zero money, and that led to the studio disbanding some time after launch (that's why no DLC). AOne is back in bussiness now, subsisting mostly off of contracting jobs. They also got the game ported to some japanese arcade machines, so they've got some income from that as well.

I swear I've put more money and time into this game than any reasonable person should. So back on release I got it for the PS4 physical and that was a clusterfuck since the release date and shipping dates got pushed around a bit (more on that later), played it, streamed it, tried to get people to look at it because Darkstalkers fans are thirsty for anything. Didn't quite work but got some eyes open to it. THEN the PS5 and Switch copies were ran by a play asia release. Which got backed up by over a year. From what I gathered, they had certification issues which is wild considering the game already released but might have to do with the fearures you spoke of. On top of that, they did do an Epic Games Store free game of the week thing with it a couple of years back.

Honestly it looks like the lack of polish is really what killed the game. If they improved the impact of hits and cleaned up the animations, they could have had something decent.
