The Splat Roller may seem overpowered due to its ability to paint large areas in a short amount of time, but that is easily nullified by a long range weapon like the Aerospray MG or the Jet Squelcher. there’s an extensive arsenal to fulfil your splatting needs. Once you’ve graduated from the Splattershot Jr. Nintendo have certainly spent a while on making sure that they’ve got their weapon balancing right. As such, this ensures that anyone can jump right in and start painting the town red (or blue, purple, or green). Splatting an enemy makes them explode in a shower of your team’s ink, coating a rather large area, but taking out your enemies is still secondary to the main objective. Instead your goal is to cover as much of the arena in your team’s ink colour as possible. You see, splatting (never killing) members of the opposing team isn’t the goal here. At level one, your access to items is non-existent, but you’ll be able to put up enough of a fight to start earning your way.
Freshness grants you the right to buy items, while coins give you the means. So, yeah, competing in online matches nets you ‘freshness’ and coins. If you haven’t already guessed, this is your standard shooter leveling up system hidden behind a friendly veneer. This extends to gear being locked behind higher levels. The inhabitants of Inkopolis are obsessed with being ‘fresh’, to the point where you can’t get served in a shop without meeting their freshness requirement. Nintendo have put their spin on the competitive multiplayer shooter, but unfortunately, it just doesn’t quite live up to the hype. It’s also a lot of fun, as anyone who has played it will attest to. Splatoon’s world is bright, colourful and full of charm pretty much the norm for a Nintendo game.
