New specials include the Tacticooler, a deployable support item that gives your entire team stat-boosting drinks, among others. The Tri-Stringer is particularly fun to use: You can charge up a shot that launches three arrows that trigger a delayed explosion following impact. All of the weapons and specials from Splatoon 2 return, but there are some meaningful additions that make things feel more robust.Ī new bow called the Tri-Stinger and a melee weapon called the Splatana feel different from anything else on offer, making them worthwhile additions here. The main game mode is Turf War which sees two teams fight to ink the most turf in a 3-minute battle. Familiar But Freshįranchise devotees will feel immediately at home in Splatoon 3, and they’ll delight in the enhancements made to multiplayer gameplay - which have always been at the core of the Splatoon experience. It smartly combines the core gameplay of Splatoon with a card game, ultimately providing a fun albeit slight distraction with room to grow.

This mode pits you against one opponent, and it’s a kind of fusion of a card game and Tetris, with the goal being to cover more turf than your opponent through a series of turns. The other main single-player addition is Tableturf Battle, a card game that lets you face off against NPCs of increasing difficulty. Splatoon’s newest idol group, Deep Cut, also plays a role in the story. While I can’t describe any more, this phenomenal climax amps Splatoon 3’s absurdity up to an 11 and stands out as one of my favorite gaming experiences this year.

Splatoon 3’s final act has one of the most jaw-dropping gameplay segments to ever appear in a Nintendo game. Most plot beats (particular early in the game) are pretty understated, but the overall narrative takes a deep dive into Splatoon’s lore, up until the last couple of hours blows things wide open. In this way, campaign levels artfully introduce you to new weapons or gameplay elements that serve as a great bridge to multiplayer, but once you’re fully acclimated, the latter half of the story takes the opportunity to go completely off the rails in a lovably bonkers way. Most tend to hyper-focus on some specific aspect of gameplay, like sliding on rails or using a particular weapon. There are seven zones you’ll visit throughout the course of Splatoon 3’s campaign, each with a handful of levels to play through. Smallfry even gets his own little skill tree so you can make upgrades! Each level integrates your little buddy into gameplay in novel ways, and his ability to distract enemies can be absolutely vital. While he’s certainly cute, Smallfry functions more as a new mechanic and something that helps differentiate the story mode from multiplayer in look and feel. Smallfry can be thrown like a grenade to distract or attack enemies or even activate switches. You’re introduced to your tiny salmonid companion Smallfry almost right away who becomes an integral part of the overall experience. Splatoon 3’s story levels are tighter and more focused than past games, creating a more dynamic challenge. Your mission is to find the Great Zapfish that’s been stolen from Splatsville and investigate the origins of a mysterious ooze-like substance that sports fur, called Fuzzy Ooze. The story opens with your character arriving in The Splatlands, and after following a mysterious figure, you’re recruited into the “Splatoon” by Captain Cuddlefish. Splatoon 3’s story mode wisely focuses on shorter, more digestible levels.

It helps that the game’s final act will leave your jaw on the ground (probably covered in paint). Through a host of new features, an utterly bonkers story mode, and some great quality-of-life improvements, Splatoon 3 is the best the series has ever been. Splatoon 3 doesn’t deliver any earth-shattering changes compared to the previous entry, but it does provide some vital improvements to the overall experience. Even after five years, there’s no shooter that can compete with Splatoon, and the latest entry in the series hones its unique style and frenetic gunplay to a ridiculous sheen.
