Strinova's 2D Stringify mechanic breathes some new life into hero shooters
Strinova introduces 'Stringify' mechanic, enhancing hero shooter gameplay with 2D transformations for tactical advantages.
Strinova, created by iDreamSky, is a third-person hero shooter that incorporates an innovative 'Stringify' mechanic. This mechanic allows characters to shift into 2D models, offering tactical benefits such as evading bullets and traversing walls, though they cannot attack or use abilities in this state.
The game balances familiar elements with fresh innovations, hosting familiar roles like snipers and mid-range assault units. Each character has unique abilities, with Meredith and Audrey standing out for their special skills in combat. The game supports modes like team deathmatch and demolition, providing various strategic challenges.
Despite encountering a bug where the A key registered as always pressed, Strinova performed well, maintaining high frame rates on a gaming laptop. Players are encouraged to use the Stringify mechanic strategically, promoting a more thoughtful approach over aggressive tactics. The full release on November 21 hopes to address any lingering issues and highlight its novel gameplay elements.
