I skipped the Wii u so didn't get to play the first one, but I did hear a lot of good things about it. I'm just on the fence about it because I'm not sure if it's another fps or something else. |
Dude, you should have tried the free demo on Saturday.
As for the game, it's technically a third person shooter, but it doesn't play like any other game in the genre. Basically, it's a 4v4 where you shoot ink to cover the ground and walls, and you can turn into a squid to swim through your team's ink. If you're not moving, you're invisible while you're a squid, and swimming through the ink is much faster than walking. Since covering ground is so important, you can be helpful to your team even if you're not great at aiming. In fact, no mode specifically revolves around getting kills; the main mode is purely about covering more territory. Of course, kills are still important since it prevents your opponents from inking territory for a little while.
In short: It's a very refreshing shooter that has the traditional Nintendo quality of being easy to learn and hard to master. The original Splatoon was my favorite game on Wii U, so I'd recommend it.
