01Overview

Splatoon is primarily a team-based third-person shooter which is playable by up to eight players in 4 vs 4 matches, although the game also features a single-player campaign. Players control characters called Inklings, which can change between human form and squid form. Transforming into a squid allows players to swim through ink of their own color, even up walls and through grates, hiding from the enemy and replenishing their ink supply in the process. In the single-player campaign, the Great Zapfish, which is the primary power supply of Inkopolis, has been stolen. Cap'n Cuttlefish employs a Splatoon of Inklings to travel to the secret underground base of the Octarians and retrieve it. Players take the role of Agent 3 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon and cross the landscape of Octo Valley to reclaim various lost Zapfish, Sunken Scrolls and Power Eggs. Nintendo EAD Software Development Group No. 2 developed the game, and Nintendo published it in 2015 for the Wii U. It is a shooter with platform elements and action and science fiction themes.
