Splatoon 2 (for Nintendo Switch)

Most surfaces in the game can be painted with your ink, which turns that surface either your team's color or the enemy team's color.

Turf War is Splatoon 2's core Regular Battle multiplayer game mode, just like in the first Splatoon. Two teams of four try to ink as much of the map as they can with their color, painting over the enemy ink while skirmishing.

Shooting enemies with your ink weapons will splat them and knock them out of the fight for a short time, letting you spread your team's color without interference.

There are several different types of weapons, including machine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, and even paintbrushes and paint buckets.

Splatoon 2 is primarily a multiplayer game, but you can also kill a few hours fighting through the single-player campaign. It's a retread of the first Splatoon's single-player mode, tasking you with the job of recovering the electricity-providing Zapfish from the corrupted Octolings who stole them.

As you fight online, you earn experience points and in-game cash. Experience points increase your level and unlock additional weapons, along with different shirts, hats, and shoes you can buy (all of which offer different gameplay bonuses, such as more ink capacity or faster ink swimming).

You can adjust or disable the motion-control sensitivity easily, and set up individual control profiles for both docked and handheld modes.
