Nintendo's Innovation in Video Games
Nintendo is known for its innovation in video game genres, taking familiar mechanics and reworking them into something magical. Games like ARMS and Splatoon have captivated players with their unique gameplay.
Introducing Foamstars
Now, Square Enix has entered the competitive space with its own take on Splatoon called Foamstars. This PS4 and PS5 exclusive adds more verticality, new game modes, and a futuristic aesthetic to the genre.
Visuals and Soundtrack
Foamstars impresses with its pulsing neon lights and bright, colourful cyberpunk clothing. The visuals create an immersive experience akin to a big, expensive party in Las Vegas. However, the soundtrack falls short with very few memorable tracks.
Chaotic Gameplay
Foamstars introduces a new competitive game mode called Smash the Star. Each team has a certain amount of lives, and the ultimate goal is to knock out the opposing team's MVP. However, the gameplay can feel messy and chaotic, lacking the strategic depth of Splatoon.
Diverse Playable Characters
One of Foamstars' strengths is its diverse and unique playable characters. Players must experiment to find a character that suits their play style.
Concerns about Microtransactions
One major concern with Foamstars is the cost of cosmetics, which can be quite expensive through microtransactions. However, these purchases are purely cosmetic and do not provide any gameplay advantages.
The Future of Foamstars
Foamstars has the potential to grow and establish itself in the competitive shooter genre, but it still has a long way to go. It remains to be seen if players will stick with the PlayStation exclusive in the long run. However, if the game continues to evolve, Foamstars could have an interesting future ahead.
