Reception

Stewart Wieck reviewed Omnigon in White Wolf #21 (June/July 1990), rating it a 2 out of 5 and stated that "In all, this game includes everything you need to play a SF campaign, and while the rules are usable, the game falls short of establishing a mood or interesting background."^[2]

Lawrence Schick called the game system "simple and rather trite".^[1]
