3.0/5

In theory, online shooters are not very difficult to design, given the fact that they follow the same formula for decades now. However, they have gotten a lot more complex along the way, since modern players expect a lot more than just shooting their enemies. Ranking systems, customizable weapons and character abilities are all part of the equation now.

plaToon is a third-person online shooter in which the goal is to get as many frags as possible, or complete a few other objectives. There are no intriguing new mechanics to talk about, but then again there’s not always the need for them if you are just looking for something easy to waste some time. In fact, it can be the perfect solution to a boring afternoon if you are not very picky.

To begin with, the gameplay mechanics are a tad unpolished and annoying at this point, since it’s a bit difficult to aim and move properly. You can get used to it after a while, but it would be nice to see improvements in this regard as soon as possible. The game modes are fairly mundane too, such as deathmatch and capture the flag, but everyone is already familiar with them anyway.

As for the actual shooting mechanics, all you have to do is aim at an enemy and click, because there’s nothing more to it than that. The gameplay is smooth enough not to interfere with your ability to concentrate, but the level design could use a few touch-ups in some cases. The weapons are fairly standard too, ranging from machine-guns, to rifles and even snipers.

Lastly, the graphics are nothing to write home about, but then again they are designed to be as simple and as colorful as possible. The important thing is that there are no issues when it comes to spotting enemies or making your way around the maps, so at least you do not have to worry about that. Not much can be said about the sound at this point, but there’s plenty of time for this to be fixed as well.

Although it may be difficult to see what sets plaToon apart from all the other casual shooters out there, the truth is that your opinion is what truly counts. Hence, the game features decent gameplay mechanics and simple action for everyone to enjoy, so it’s up to you whether to give it a shot or not.
