Splatoon 3 Gameplay
In Splatoon 3, players get to be Inklings or Octolings and shoot colored ink at each other. The weapons they use are pretty cool and look like regular things you'd find at home. For instance, there are big paint rollers that cover lots of ground but are better for close-up fights. Then there are sniper-like weapons that shoot from far away but don't paint as much ground.
This game adds new weapons: the main ones you choose, secondary ones that go with the main weapons, and special ones that need a lot of ink to charge up. Inklings and Octolings can turn into squids or octopuses, which helps them climb ink-covered walls and swim faster in ink. When you shoot, your ink runs out, but if you dive into the ink as a squid or octopus, you refill faster. All the old weapons from the previous Splatoon games are back in Splatoon 3.
