Foamstars hides surprising fun and strategic depth under its unfortunately grating presentation.
Foamstars Score Details “Foamstars' core gameplay offers plenty of strategic fun, but you'll have to grit your teeth through some of its worst instincts to enjoy them.” Pros Cons In the risky world of live-service multiplayer games, first impressions are everything. With the landscape as crowded as it is, any newcomer needs to dazzle players immediately to wrangle up a wide audience and build some much-needed momentum.
I’d start to see the greater potential of Foamstars when partying up with friends and diving deep into its signature mode, Smash the Star. It’s a two-part mode that starts starts with teams trying to “chill” one another by foaming up players, turning them into a big soap ball, and surfing into them to finish them off. Once a team gets seven chills, someone on the opposing team becomes an “star player” with extra health that regenerates over time. The team must take them out to win the round.
Nothing here is as ingenious as Splatoon‘s elegant Turf War, but Toylogic deserves some praise for creating its own original modes here. They’re a good start that give me hope that the best could be yet to come — if Foamstars has much future ahead of it. Foamstars tries to deliver that with a story-centric single-player mode, but that does more harm than good. Each primary character gets three simple wave defense missions that has players protecting “Bath Vegas” from the same few enemies in a handful of patterns as dialogue builds out the hero’s backstory. It’s little more than a repetitive, shockingly easy tutorial for each hero; I achieved S+ rank on each mission without much effort.
