Splatoon 4 (Cobensword22)

Splatoon 4 is a third-person shooter video game made by Nintendo. It is the 4th installment in the Splatoon franchise, and the first installment on the successor to the Nintendo Switch.
It retains many of the aspects of the previous titles, while also introducing new mechanics for balanced and fair gameplay in multiplayer. It also brings back Salmon Run in a new form: Salmon Run: Vengeance. It also, like it's predecessors, has a single-player, story-driven campaign mode.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay of Splatoon 1-3 is brought back for 4. Players take on the role of Inklings or Octolings (as well as a new, third species), in 4-on-4 ink battles, the most common type being Turf Battles. Players start on two opposite sides of the map, and must use their colored ink to cover the walls and floors, as well as to splat opponents in order to defeat them. Upon being splatted, a player can respawn a few moments afterwards, thus being able to rejoin the fight.
In squid/octo form, the player can swim through their team's color of ink to move quickly, jump across large distances, and blend in for stealth and sneak attacks. In humanoid form, the player will move slower and have worse jumping, but they can utilize their weapons to attack enemies, cover turf, and utilize environmental gimmicks, like sponges and Ink Rails.
Weapons come in various varieties, from short-range, fast-firing weapons like shooters and dualies, to long-range, charging weapons like chargers and splatlings, to powerful yet slow melee weapons such as the rollers and brushes. In addition to these main weapons, each one comes with a kit featuring a sub-weapon and a special weapon. Sub weapons utilize a large portion of ink, but can be used to great affect. Special weapons are only usable after inking enough turf to fill the special gauge, after which, it can be used for a short time, or for a one-time use, depending on the special.
Many weapons from across the series make a return, outfitted with new kits. In addition, brand new weapons of several classes appear, alongside two brand-new classes:
-Scrubbers act similarly to Splatlings, but their range of fire is smaller and their rate of fire is sluggish. Rather, using this weapon in close-quarters can quickly decimate foes in your path!
-Strikers enable quick hand-to-hand combat that can deal damage quickly to close-up targets. Charging a punch can send a fist-shaped ink projectile forwards, dealing heavy damage the closer the target is while spreading ink behind it.
In addition, multiple new Special and Sub weapons make their debut as well.
Multiple gamemodes exist for the game. alongside Turf Battles, where 2 teams of 4 battle to cover as much of the stage in their own color ink, there is also multiple versions of Ranked Battles, with the three returning modes being Splat Zones, Tower Control, and Rainmaker (with Clam Blitz being omitted due to unpopularity). Additionally, a new type of battle appears, called Turf Battle Royale. In this mode, 8 individual players fight to cover a larger stage in their color of ink within 5 minutes.
== Salmon Run: Vengeance ==
Salmon Run: Vengeance is the newest version of Salmon Run to appear. Taking most of its gameplay from Next Wave, it also adds in a new feature: should a downed worker be far enough away from the group, if they stay in a large enough area of their own ink for about 30 seconds, they can revive themselves, but at the cost of a slight speed decrease and halving the damage dealt to Salmonids.
Alongside all the previous Salmonids, two new Boss Salmonids appear: the Sprayspout moves around the arena, spreading salmonid slime around it like a sprinkler. It is covered in a powerful armored exoskeleton, which needs to be weakened in order to attack the vulnerable Salmonid underneath, while the Hosedown uses a type of Splatling-like weapon that fires a weak but continuous stream of salmonid slime forwards.
