Splattack! The Tactical Splatoon Roleplaying Game!

You're a kid now! You're a squid now!

Welcome to Splattack, a tabeltop RPG game themed around the universe and gameplay of Splatoon!

In Splattack, you'll make your own team of muck slinging mollusks and take on another team in a war to control grounds! You'll choose from a small variety of unique weapons to accomplish this task.

Work as a team with three other people against the MC (Master of Cephalopods) controlled opposing team. Or perhaps take up a whole team by yourself and battle against a friend! If you're REALLY insane, why not just get seven people together and all make your own splatoon OC to battle against eachother?

This game is currently in its Alpha state, with a variety of not-present features (such as fleshed out rules for proper adventuring, gear, and so on), but it does feature a mechanic for getting clout online, so, like. uh. pretty good tradeoff there! Plus, it even comes with a map to play on! Try to take over the Kelp Dome with 9 rounds of splatoon fun.

If you end up playing it with your group, I would LOVE to hear about your experiences and feedback, the more playtest information I get, the more I can fine tune the core experience and start on additional expansions.

But Modstin, why should I play this instead of just loading up Splatoon 3?

That's a good question! Splatoon is a fantastic game, and I've tried my best to adapt its mechanics in a fun way to the tabletop format. With the freedom of an RPG comes the allowance for more than the games can offer, like freedom of being any odd species, and of course, roleplaying as your squidkids!

Are you sure this game is Balanced?

Somewhat! It's still a work in progress, this is the alpha version! If Splatoon can make overhaul patches all the time, so can I. And by playing the game and trying to break it, you're doing me a favor! I want all the feedback I can get!

What mechanics ARE covered in this game then?

Turf Wars are fully playable, with three main weapons, three sub weapons, and three specials to choose from! Inking turf, splatting enemies, superjumping, it's all there! There are splatblocks for a few different characters at the end of the doc, which you can use as premades or run as the MC.

Wow! I'll go play it right now!

You sure will! Here's the link to the Google Drive with everything you need to get started!

Remember! I'm always welcoming of feedback, criticism, ideas, and so on! My messages are always open!

Hey real quick for the splatoon fans. Acht is german for 8

This is gonna be a separate thread for finished art and animation, just to keep things organized.

More people voted for pixel art style, so here you go, a mock-up of a dynamic menu system. The umbrella turning is a little janky, thanks to how Photoshop processes pixel transformation. I might animate another idea I have with Agent 3.

Thank you everyone who’s been leaving ideas and suggestions, they’re all extremely helpful!

Actually, I’m not gonna make a thread for finished stuff. There’s no purpose for one and if it were a thread, only followers would be able to see the new art and animations.

Here’s a second menu idea, and this time it’s the stats list. From here you’d scroll through the characters to select them and view their stats. Once again, the text is very rough and messy due to how Photoshop processes pixel transformations. Overall, this was the hardest to animate so far, thanks to all the individual moving parts.

This is probably gonna be the start of a thread for dumping ideas for that Splatoon RPG fangame I came up with, just to get them out there. (This game isn’t gonna happen, it’s really just wishful thinking and fun.)

So far, it’d be a Earthbound/Pokemon-like game (top-down view) with a turn based battle system. You could pick up party members to follow you around and fight with you. There’d be normal attacks and mini game attacks, which are Warioware-style minigames such as a rhythm minigame for the idols or a turf war minigame for the agents. Certain party members could also give the whole team perks (i.e. Cap’n Cuttlefish could boost the team’s health as a hypeman, Agent 3 could boost the team’s strength). There’d also be specific supers for every character (Agent 3 turns into the Kraken, Pearl busts out her Killer Wail) but each has its limitations (Pearl has to give up 4 turns to warm up her vocal cords). I might scrap this battle system for a beat’em up though.

The game would have a main story and be very story-focused, but like Earthbound, it’d also be open world. Players would be able to explore different locations (Inkopolis, Octo Valley, etc.) and take side quests from background characters.

The main character would probably be 3, though that may change. There’d be two hubs: the New Squidbeak Splatoon base in Octo Valley and 3’s apartment in Inkopolis. There you would be able to save and heal up. In 3’s apartment you’d be able to upgrade weapons by customizing them. You’d be able to do the same with the help of Marina in the base. Food and perks could be bought from Crusty Sean or from vending machines littered everywhere. New weapons could be bought from Sheldon. Collectible and lootable chests and items would be littered everywhere.

I considered making the art style pixel art, but I think a pastel, Splatoon 2 art style would be more unique and aesthetically pleasing. Here’s what I have so far on it.

It’s pretty bare bones, only supposed to try out an concept for walk sprites (they’re supposed to resemble mem cakes, though they might be too cartoony and cutesy) with some quick context. I’m probably gonna make the sprites smaller and the viewable area larger.

Ive seen other people say that Splatoon might get a spin off soon and I think its going to be an RPG

I think that we already have elements of an RPG, but i think the spinoff that would make the most sense would be a game that is ENTIRELY story based and instead of being the single player that just has a goal, you have quests and you have to constantly work, there are character arcs. I don't know what the plot would be exactly but you could have different companions and they can have special moves or whatever. I don't know how well the game would do, as many people get the games for their multiplayer aspect, but I think more people that were hoping to get something deeper from side order would probably enjoy the game. Im thinking something like paper Mario.
