Eric – I think there’s an interesting idea here. It doesn’t feel like Square Enix is directly lifting the territory-control shooter model but putting its own spin on it with a building-and-battling twist. The characters are colorful and interesting, and there’s a good variety of firing types and skills to make the combat feel varied in each encounter.
It’s the big picture I’m curious about. Foamstars could be something worth dipping into and adding to the slate of Weekend Games with a squad of friends, but I think a lot of that will depend on what more the team has in store beyond the one mode and map I played at Summer Game Fest 2023.”
