Splatoon 2015

About this game

Inklings, who can turn between a humanoid and a squid form, fight with ink in this 2015 third person shooter for the Wii U. As a humanoid you shoot ink in your team's color, and as a squid you swim through it, faster than on foot and up walls, though you are almost defenseless. The main mode is Turf War, four against four, covering the ground with your team's ink, and the ranked modes are Splat Zones, Tower Control and Rainmaker, with Splatfests as timed events. Hero Mode is a single player campaign in Octo Valley, where you rescue the Great Zapfish from the Octarians, in levels built around ink that take three to five hours. The Inklings were first imagined as rabbits, until others said rabbits shooting ink made no sense. The Wii U's online services ended in April 2024.
