Square Enix’s Foamstars was one of the biggest surprises of Summer Game Fest.
As a fun take on the 4v4 shooter genre with a unique foam mechanic at its center, it’s not hyperbole to say Foamstars was one of the biggest surprises of this week’s show.On the surface, as the PS Showcase reactions prove, Foamstars does very closely resemble the paint-splattered exploits of Nintendo’s squid kids.
However, each of them also had their own style and presence in the arena, a particular highlight being the purple-haired statesmen complete with monocle and moustache. Giving these characters more of a personality makes them stand out more among the crowd, and in turn makes us more interested in them.
It’s unique, it’s fun, and it’s tense – under the best circumstances, winning a close match has the potential to elicit a jumping-out-of-your-chair reaction. The arena where our demo matches took place was essentially flat – a circular stage with black floors, a fountain in the middle, and a few spires that could be climbed.
