I kinda enjoyed the game, definitely not as polished as splatoon but a very decent game with great ideas I hope they don't close it down soon :(

[@kligoo]

The monetization in the game is horrible, but i don't think foam stars is that bad of a game. It is really fun an it feels like it took inspiration from many other games, but still came out unique enough to be considered its own thing. I find comparing it to splatoon to be unfair as it is not the same thing.

[@firestriker3580]

It is a mediocre game and it IS the same as Splatoon. It isn’t its own thing

[@kligoo]

I will admit that "rubber duck party" and "tower control" are very simular game modes, but many shooter games have a mode like this present in their games that all have slight differences (overwatch 2 has push, team fortress 2 has a push mode, and even paladins has a push mode). Otherwise "smash the star" and "happy bath survival" from foamstars are diffrent from "turf war", "splat zones", "rainmaker" and "clam blitz" from splatoon.

[@averagejoe8639]

Heres my two cents for the game. Yeah, when you look at the bundles, it's a bit much. However, you can just buy things separately if you want to buy skins. Theres only like two things from the bundle you can't buy separately (a board and a rainbow pet recolor). When i think of the monetization, I like to compare it with other games. CoD and Halo have monetization with paid experiences. 20$ for a character skin you can't see all the time vs. this game character skins is 10$, that you can see it all the time. This game is worth it more than these games, honestly. Gameplay wise, it's fun. It has some inspirations from Splatoon, but it's not entirely the same. Having an alternative Splatoon game that you don't need a Switch to play is great. There are some connection issues, but it isn't too bad. There is something to grind for, which are silver and gold skins (for character and boards), so not all skins are locked behind a pay wall. Also, there are some other cosmetics you can earn without buying anything, too. Battle pass, there is one. It's 6$ with 40 tiers of stuff. It has an overwatch 2 situation where you can buy a character instantly or wait till tier 31 to get it for free. However, unlike overwatch 2, it doesn't take 3 weeks of straight grinding to get the character (i know cause it took be only 3 days of casual play). Score 8/10. Couldn't care less of the monetization cause it's a fun game. Musics is good, and you can customize your base a bit (which all customization is free). The game might stay alive if it either goes free or if xbox and pc players could play the game, too.

[@OYAHlGH]

The game is stuck between a rock and a hard place, essentially. It's exclusive to an ecosystem that has been conditioned to abhor cartoony, stylized games and it's getting hit with a smear campaign on social media by Nintendo/Splatoon fans throwing mass amounts of misinformation because it wears its inspiration on its sleeve. Personally, I think the game is very fun and manages to blend hero shooter elements with Splatoon's gimmick well. Does the game have problems? Absolutely Is the usage of AI art bad? Hell yes, though they were extremely transparent about this pre-release and it's only for album covers that make up 0.01% of the overall artwork Are the microtransactions overpriced? Yes, though the prices people are glaring at are bundles containing multiple items and not the prices of the individual items which are considerably cheaper. Games taking blatant inspiration from other games is how this industry has always operated. Tekken is a clone of Virtua Fighter that surpassed it, almost every third-person OtS game post RE4 (Dead Space, Gears of War for example) took HEAVY inspiration from that game but nobody bats an eye there. I know there's no obligation to do this, but the gaming community has a major problem with denouncing games from the offset without seeing the potential lying underneath. Tell the developers what you want and don't want in the game, their twitter ain't far

[@OYAHlGH]

Also correct me if I'm wrong though, it's hilarious to see the Playstation community gush over Helldivers 2 despite that being an player versus environment styled game like L4D and WWZ but I guess it's okay when it's a gritty shooter that doesn't take from Nintendo. 🤷‍♂

[@taxenofhearts]

A few companies over the years have tried to do a Splatoon clone and failed.

[@cbgg1585]

Pokemon, too. Sure, Palworld is selling like hotcakes, but primarily, it is down to the sheep follow sheep mentality and not because the game is good. So many games like Palworld and TemTem try to implement a breeding system, but when it comes to the complexities and intracacies of breeding and team building for competitive play within the Pokemon sphere, other corporations have tried and failed to capture the same appeal. Tell me, asides from collection purposes, is there any real need for breeding in Palworld? Nintendo IP's like Pokemon and Splatoon are NOT merely a dime a dozen. Say what you want about Pokemon technically and graphically, but truth of the matter is, NOTHING will ever top it in terms of the complexities, learning curve and legitimate strategizing when it comes to competitive Pokemon and VGC. Nintendo really did nail the competitive scene of both Pokemon and Splatoon.

[@Raytheman581]

@@cbgg1585 Palword isn't really a competitive game tho? Its nothing like pokemon aside from using monster designs, so you didn't actually do any research on the game. There's also always been copies of games, always. There's successful monster capture games that have been digimon, shin megami tensei. There's been popular GTA clones, there's been popular Resident evil clones etc. There's even popular Kart racing games that are like mariokart. Pokemon also still sells because of its brand name, not because the games have been good, its basically like call of duty that still sells because its just the popular thing to buy. Foam stars problem isn't that its a copy, its that its a clone with scummy practices.

I tried this game for a couple of days, so far I'm having a good time: music is great, characters are cheesy and "cringe" but in a funny, harmless way, the shooting is a bit chaotic but I got used to it, and overall I think there is a TON of potential to this game...but it's a square enix game, they're notorious to be ultra greedy, and if this game doesn't make the octillions they want, it won't last very long. A shame when that will happen, because I can see it having its own niche of players. I definitely did not like Splatoon, but I surprisingly liked this one.

[@rikjosah4641]

Foamstars isn't a bad game. It's a game that's just playing it too safe imo. There's a sort of genuine optimism in the game with an expectation of it being a social experience(club like lobbies, an incredible party OST, etc) along with a casual fun shooter. The characters are cheesy but there's something there that shows the team had fun with it all. It's as non offensive as it can be while encouraging a competitive mindset. I don't think it's fully polished yet but it's a fun game that could potentially be the foundation for something more, if they're willing to be brave and explore more with missions/matches/maps.

[@augosyx]

Game might look like a Splatoon clone but it’s nowhere near the game. Splatoon’s gameplay felt like an actual gun game, Foamstars’ gun game is just playing with, for a lack of a better term, a Grenade Launcher. Battle Pass is fine, never have I ever see BP below $10, but still meh to buy. Ranked are the worst. The system are so atrocious that it’s very difficult to rank up unless you have a friends to play. Matchmaking are bad as well. I’ve been seeing a lot of 3-4 party against solos in Ranked more than the normal playlist that I just avoid Rank altogether once I got my Trophy.

[@xaviersejour9183]

I was just in a discord call and I was just surfing in the Foam and trying to grind rails. One of the problems of the game is it takes a long time to reload and unlike Splatoon we cannot dive into the foam to reload. Why can’t we truckload ? Somebody call up the developers tell them we need trick loading and tracking speed boost. What I mean is doing kick flips to reload gun and doing backflips and turns in the air probably ramped off the foam and getting speed boost

My only real gripe is the networking seems quite bad I've been DCed quite a lot from games for no reason, EVERYTHING is behind a paywall this game gives you jack for free not even basic stuff like different outfit colors and yeah its a bit too visually busy at times making it hard to really see whats going on but I'm starting to get used to it. Overall I think it's got a great foundation don't agree with the very low scores at all but they definitely need more maps and characters to keep it interesting.

[@airebornstyle1149]

I'll give you guys the Micro transactions but the great thing is that it's LITERALLY cosmetic, you don't have to buy them and if you choose to, let's be honest you'll do it regardless of the price, whales pay for however much in EVERY gatcha. Is that right for them to charge that much? Well when it's free they have to get some money out of it so that's why they charge that much, I personally ONLY have the season pass and that's 6 USD, but I think the real issue with the game is the same with all games nowadays. People want EVERYTHING to be so different and unique and if it's not they say "it's just X game" or "Y game is better " a reason why I prefer this game over splatoon is the theme of the game isn't just covering area and taking out opponents to get more time to do so, there's actual setups with characters and builds to be able to make your team work better, of course with Splatoon you have the different weapons but with it in a hero shooter idea, being locked to skills and characters it's easier to balance because you can have X character with Y character they'll be unbeatable in Z setting in comparison to this weapon is strong, well what is so strong about it, is the coverage too fast? Does it do damage too fast? Does it refill to quickly? If you have another weapon is that the reason why it's that strong? Is it actually because that weapon is that strong and because of it, this is now looking strong? It makes for a game with longevity if they choose to keep this game up imo, but if everyone just wants it to be splatoon it's just gonna get review bombed and those that take whatever someone else says for granted won't play a game they already weren't going to. That being said people do think that this is just splatoon and have played it like that and then gotten upset that it's actually a different game... There's a difference between the two games and it just has ink on one side and foam on the other. Also Also the Square Enix game that got cancelled that you're thinking of was NOT a battle Royale but it was a fighting game it was Dissidia NTD and that's because they changed the entire formula that they had in the first two games and imo ruined it with that game so myself and a LOT of people who played it just left it alone, just because a game has an open map doesn't a Battle Royale make, it was 3v3, not 100 nor was there a timeline that makes the area get smaller or random pick ups that you can use to fight with or even a any areas that give you real abilities to hide seeing as you can fly and run up walls easily and lock onto people without an issue at all. an arena battler would have been a better definition

Yeah the game tries a bit too hard to be like Splatoon. It should've just been its own thing with its unique style.

God never thought I’d see the day Nintendo fans being the most toxic gaming community. 😂

Micro transactions killing the game

[@SoraFan23]

Its 2024 and Microtransactions are STILL a big problem.

[@Jeemihawk]

It feels like it was made by AI. I tried a match, it disconnected. I tried the story, that was boring. Will delete.

[@thepolacek]

I played about 2 hours of it. Pros: The bright colors, the music, the character design. Cons: I have a hard time figuring out who I need to attack and who is on my team, because every other match, you are a different color. It needs an option to always show the enemy as one color. On top of that, there is just a lot going on. Very chaotic. I know this is a "games as a service," but there is not much to do. I don't know how to improve it. Something is off, and I don't know what it is. My score is a 6/10. I can't see myself playing this a month from now.

[@jakilla23]

Played about 10 hours and I can say ur very right here. Very beautiful game, the aesthetic and characters pop, and the music is very catchy. But The colors is a big issue for me as well. So much visual noise on screen. I had to stop a few times to realize what team color I was. And some of the map designs drive me up a wall. The BP itself is very easy to progress so I’m just enjoying the game for what it is right now (trying to unlock Mel T) but with the lack of marketing I don’t see this game lasting longer than Rumbleverse or knockout city which is unfortunate cause it’s basically splatoon on a different platform entirely

[@thepolacek]

I'm glad to hear I am not alone with not knowing who I was supposed to be attacking. @@jakilla23

[@tylertruthseeker4034]

Thats not really a con, its more of a you problem. You just need to get better at knowing your team colors. Get good.

[@NuiYabuko]

​@@tylertruthseeker4034 It is a con. People potentially not being able to tell colours apart is why Splatoon has the option for a specific colour match up. Nothing about "get gud", but I guess you had to be a toxic Gamer.

[@jakilla23]

@@NuiYabuko exactly. Splatoon Is super clear with it colors.

Splatoon was never on the original Nintendo Wii, only Wii U & Nintendo Switch. The intro is wrong

[@Playeressence]

I said Nintendo Wii U, not Wii.

[@NuiYabuko]

​@@Playeressence You didn't. Even the subtitles say "original Nintendo Wii". But nice try, I guess.

[@Sir_Psych]

The major issue with this game it has no identity. It just looks like a miss-mash of other games crammed together.

[@motchness]

It has a higher user score and had to deal with all these accounts with one review on their metacritic account. To be fair though its not the best

[@capercrusader7129]

When Crash Team Rumble is better😢

Playstation fanboys don't like unique games they want third person adventure games and shooting games.

[@hgfghf2399]

Fr it’s so annoying all of these cinamatic games trying so hard to become “art” and don’t really make games for fun anymore

[@Lucci_Nippon]

I’m the only PlayStation fanboy that understands this. PlayStation is for single player. Xbox is for multiplayer. Switch is its own thing

[@hottacos2975]

The game is hella fun once you get the movement down. Soa is the peak of mobility in this game. Love splatoon but the it always ends with people running the same builds. Foam stars at least has preset abilities and weapons for each character, so matches aren't always samey I'll stay with both games

[@devilangel4655]

Foamstars lacks, slow, I delete’t the game. Was trying’t but splatoon is the way to go!👌

Player essence sounds different in this xD.

Not a bad game, but man matchmaking hot issues it super long to get match like if no one ia playing

[@shinigamiphantom9774]

1- this isn't a game developed by Square. 2- This isn't a Sony game either 3- this a toy logic game. 4- skins costs $11 not $45. 5- the only similarity to splatoon is the painting thingy and nintendo doesn't own this mechanic, that's like saying PUBG was in the right when they sued fortnite. Just trying to clarify some things I keep seeing
