Valorant in anime style with unique arts, mechanics and gameplay.



It's a bit like Valorant. However, it decides to take the third-person and anime-like visual approach. Mixing some classic competitive mechanics with an anime-inspired aesthetic has never done quite like this before, it manages to stay true to genre roots. What distinguishes this game, is a truly fluid system for toggling 3D and 2D. Offering players dynamic and tactical gameplay possibilities, innovative feature opening up creative strategies and allowing maps to feel more expansive and diverse.

The playable characters, so-called "Superstrings," bring in specific abilities and weapons into battles. Each of the heroes feels indispensable, be it an attacker to break lines of enemies or a defender to shield their teammates. This game is very team-oriented, featuring complex maps, versatile gadgets, and a well-structured system of team combat.


The gamemodes

Ranked and casual demolition (Search and Destroy):
In this mode, attackers aim to plant a bomb at designated sites, while defenders work to prevent this or defuse the bomb. Absolute gold.

Team Deathmatch:
A classic mode where two teams compete to achieve the highest number of eliminations within a set time limit. It’s fast-paced and action-heavy, ideal for players looking to train their combat skills.

Team Arena:
A casual game mode where players compete in 7v7 matches.

Escort
In Escort, the attacking team works to move a payload toward its destination before time runs out, while the defending team strives to prevent the payload from reaching its goal.

My favorite mode was demolition.

• F2p: It's free and not pay to win! (You can buy cosmetics) and the reward system is appealing.
  
• Events: Great seasonal events with special rewards and coins, grind your way to get new characters, game modes, and cosmetics.
  
• Sufficient game modes: Demolition (Ranked and casual), Team Death Match, Team Arena,
  
• Unique Gameplay Mechanics: The 2D/3D switching feature adds depth to tactical planning.
  
• Appealing Anime Aesthetic: Perfect for fans of anime-inspired visuals and character design.
  
• Diverse Roles: Each Superstring offers unique abilities and play-styles.
  
• A good Soundtrack: Engaging background music and a well-received main theme.
  
• Good Localization: Well-translated text and professional English voice acting.
  
• A small detail, the story: It has a somewhat dystopian sci-fi background.

• The controls take some getting used to, but that's due to the complexity of the characters and game mechanics. Climbing walls, in particular, was something to get used to at first but in my eyes It's actually well-designed as it is. Strinova offers more than the average PvP shooter.
  
• The developers are doing a great job keeping the game updated, and there are more characters than in other PvP shooters, but there could always be more.

• Nothing serious, since it's a pvp shooter, but it has no PvE Mode
  
• Minor Balancing Issues: Some heroes and abilities feel slightly unbalanced.

Technical info:
The game runs absolutely smoothly on an AMD Ryzen 5800X with a 4080 Super and 32 GB of RAM, with no FPS drops, bugs, or similar issues.




Strinova is a promising competitive shooter that stands out with its anime-inspired style and innovative mechanics. The multidimensional gameplay is a breath of fresh air in the genre, and the emphasis on team-based tactics makes it highly engaging. It promises a growing selection of maps and modes, with future updates aiming to keep the gameplay fresh and exciting.

While it could benefit from further balancing, Strinova is an excellent choice for fans of anime aesthetics and competitive team shooters. If you’re into PvP, Strinova is a really well-made choice, and who knows what the future holds—the developers are very active!


Rating: 8/10

Overall:
If I had to compare it to a game, it would most likely be compared to Valorant or Fortnite, but with anime characters and new tactical elements like special weapons, a class system, various active and passive skills, and a unique ultimate skill for each character.

The classes counter each other, together with fun game modes, makes for a nice package.
For example, in Team Arena Mode (7v7), you are only allowed to use passive skills, and you must set up your team and character to be most effective.

Additionally, the various classes can counter each other like rock-paper-scissors.
Gameplay-wise, your Superstring (character) can stick to walls, wall-run, and switch between 3D and 2D at will, making for a fun game session and fast-paced gameplay. It’s hard to win this game alone, as the focus is on the team element of play. You can only win if you have the right classes in your team. The maps are medium-sized and can be crossed quickly, and there is little chance for players to camp in hidden spots.

Pro:
Various game modes: Ranked and casual demolition, escort, team arena and team deathmatch. (with various requirements)

Character can be customized with in-game currency

Higher levels progress is a bit slow

Music is fitting but has limited variation


Final Rating 8.5 of 10
I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a change and perhaps a new favorite PvP game, especially if you like the anime graphics and enjoy using keyboard controls.

Anime waifu shooting game, better than concord already.
