Square Enix's Splatoon-a-like 4v4 multiplayer shooter is transitioning from a premium title to a free-to-play game on 4th October, just eight months after its initial release. Players that purchased Foamstars prior to its price change will receive a Legacy Gift set providing "exclusive" in-game items, including 12 colour-variant Bubble Beastie skins, one Slide Board design, and the "Legacy" title. Eurogamer contributor Kaan Serin called Foamstars a "serviceable paintballer... lathered with some wild lore and underwhelming hero shooter elements" in his three star review, asking, "What does it say about this shooter if the... character details are more entertaining than the 10-minute shooting galleries that precede them?"
