Splatoon Alternatives Colorful Multiplayer Madness

You shoot at enemies, but not to kill them. In Splatoon, the idea of shooting has been used unusually.

It’s a multiplayer game in which you fight for control of an area. There are two teams of four on the map, and you are tasked with covering as much area as possible with paint in a certain amount of time.

You’ll be in the middle of ink battles here, literally shooting colours across the surface of the map, and in your territory, you’ll be able to turn into a cephalopod form that moves twice as fast and becomes invisible to your opponents. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?

If you’re into Splatoon like games, you might also enjoy the titles we’ve selected for you.

To jump, you have to defeat your enemy. It will make your legs grow and thus his will shrink. This ability provides new skills, for example with your big foot you will be able to kick the opponents.

Rest assured, you won’t become a huge ever-growing Mexican hulk, because the creators have taken limits into account, however, you’ll also have to shed some volume in some situations to, for example, squeeze through a pipe.

The unique idea of the creators of Splatoon has inspired the developers of many games. It’s the colours that unite these disparate productions, and each is original in its way. Playing dodgeball, riding a scooter, or creating stars are just a fraction of what they offer.
