I'll say this, it looks to be the most creative shooter in a while.

My interest is piqued.

Looked fun to me! Is it supposed to be a download title or is it a retail release? Doesnt look like it would have enough content for a full retail release...

Concept has merit but it just needed something more. I can't tell you what it needs but it just looked limited, like an indie game not a fully fledged one. Hopefully they show more later that gives me a reason to get excited.

This was essentially my thought.  It looks cute, I guess, but it kind of looks like a glorified mini-game that you could find in nintendoland or mario party. 

Nintendo Threehouse is currently streaming the game; I don't know how you could possibly compared this to a Mario Party minigame.

Mario party was more of an overstatement to prove a point, nintendoland was the more apt comparison.

it looked really cool, but then i just realized its gonna be a camper fest. i mean you can literally hide in the ground and wait and wait...... i fear its gonna kill what seems to be a really interesting game.

A game doesn't have to be a "dark, edgy, gritty" game to be fun. I'm eager to play this thing.

The goal of the game is to have your team ink cover more territory than the opposite team ink; a camping strategy pretty much assure you to lose the game :P

after playing many many games online i can assure you that a lot of gamers online do not care about winning or losing, just their "K/D" ratio. dont get me wrong its good that camping isnt a great way to win the game, but still, im afraid it will be a camp fest.

yes and no.

there are a lot of cool ideas for sure. but as far as the cosmetics go. i'm not bashing it for being kiddy in any way but something about these squid people just didn't feel as interesting as i would hope. i don't know how to phrase this right, i don't want to come off like an ass. i just don't care about the characters i guess. i'm not drawn into wanting to know more about them. i didn't take away any sense of personality.


Isn't it supposed to be mainly a 4v4 multiplayer fest?  Perhaps there might be a single player story but to me it looks like the characters are vague because it is mainly a 4v4 mulitplayer game.  It seems like you asking for a backstory for a multiplayer focused game.  Perhaps if they allowed the use of Miis then you would feel more attached?

well, i think that is in part a by-product of me trying really hard not to come off like an ass.  i'm not saying i want to have a deep backstory so much as characters with personality.  i think the best way i can describe my thought is to just put some screen side by side of games i think are the very similar but doing better with personable characters.
