Astro Boy: Omega Factor
Game Boy AdvanceAction
Astro Boy: Omega Factor is a side-scrolling action game developed by Treasure and Hitmaker and published by Sega for the Game Boy Advance. It combines close-range beat ’em up combat with shooting, platforming, and short flight sequences. Players control Astro as he investigates threats to humanity and robots across a story inspired by the Astro Boy manga and anime. The game is structured around selectable missions, character conversations, and boss encounters rather than a single continuous stage run. Critics and players have historically praised its fast combat, inventive presentation, and generous use of Astro Boy lore, although its difficulty and limited health can make later missions demanding.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
