Taking a leaf from other AAA games such as God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla, Splatoon 3: Side Order takes inspiration from roguelites, using the genre’s randomisation and permadeath structure to shake up existing mechanics. At the same time, there’s also a narrative element that will please fans who have been keeping up with Splatoon’s strange lore.
We’re not talking anything on the level of Hades or even Valhalla, but much like how Splatoon 2’s campaign based itself on the outcome of the final Splatfest in the first game, Side-Order also bases itself on the outcome of Splatoon 2’s final Splatfest, ‘Chaos vs Order’, where Chaos came out on top.
