Such a waste of time. I was kind of hyped seeing this in the PlayStation State of Play but it couldn't keep me hooked for over an hour.
While it's a bit inconsistent, I do like the art style, especially the 2D art style. The animation for everything is a bit stiff though and the story mode's cutscenes could probably be made in PowerPoint. The controls are fairly smooth and fun, though.
I would also like to talk about the near $70 AUD SKIN PACKS??? For like one character and weapon skin per pack. What? Thankfully it's a free game through PlayStation Plus but why does there have to be an item shop, let alone the PRICES, heck.
The story mode is boring, all you do is mindlessly fight easy waves in the same arena every mission while listening to characters talk.
I can't speak for the online modes because I could not get into a single match. I'm thinking this game might've died as soon as it came out.
The game is also reminding me why Splatoon doesn't have voice acting. If you're going to play Foamstars, at least switch to the Japanese voices. But speaking of Splatoon, it tries so hard to be that and fails in every regard, so maybe just go and play that.
