Splatoon 3 is the latest in the series of shooting games where you fire ink rather than bullets in highly skilled battles. As well as taking out opponents, teams work together to cover the arena with their coloured ink. It stands out for the less violent approach to combat and the visualisation of who is winning the most territory.
Item 1 of 3
You play in Splatsville, located in the sun-scorched Splatlands, where you take on rivals in online battles. Play is like other shooting games, only here you aim to claim territory by covering it in ink in four-on-four fights. When areas are covered with your colour you can switch to your squid form to move much quicker. The battle continues until the time runs out whereupon the team that claims the most turf wins.
As you progress you can customise your outfits to show off your signature splatting style. Some of these are won, purchased or unlocked by owning the Splatoon series amiibo figurines. The result is a highly skilled and tactical combat game. Learning the different arenas and wide range of paint-based weapons is all part of the fun.
