If regular run-of-the-mill shooter games just don't do it for you anymore and you're craving some new and unique mechanics to spice up the familiar gameplay, then we've got a game just for you. Meet Strinova, an upcoming Valorant-style third-person tactical competitive shooter developed by iDreamSky, where you can turn your character into a PNG to dodge your enemies' fire and enter parts of the playable map that are inaccessible in the 3D form.

Described as a multi-dimensional shooter, Strinova allows players to shift freely between 2D and 3D forms, with each form opening up completely different routes and gameplay approaches, resulting in a truly unique and incredibly fun experience. To accompany the mechanic, the game features multilayered maps, tactical skill operations, and a variety of useable devices, forming a unique team combat system that best suits the 2D+3D gameplay.

"Various maps bring forth numerous game modes, including Demolition and Scrimmage; more and more maps and game modes will be added in the future," reads the game's description. "Unique skills and firearms make every Superstring irreplaceable. Whether you are an attacker breaking through enemy lines or a guardian protecting your teammates, you will find your place to shine."

Until the end of this week, Strinova is available in closed beta only, with the game's official release day remaining undisclosed. You can participate in the beta by visiting the game's official Steam page.

The debate between 2D or 3D waifus finally turns to violence.

Paper Mario shooter?

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

No. My brain cannot accept it. Be 3D or 2D... not both. Like pineapple on pizza.

The mechanic looks cool though.

 

[StueyDuck]

Interesting mechanic, glad to see they have more to it like slipping through the wall.

Hopefully there's alot to it.

 

[Guilty_AI]

w... what?

 

[Deft Beck]

That's a fun, almost Nintendo-level idea.

 

[rodrigolfp]

What is Valorant-style?

What is Valorant-style?

It's basically Counter Strike-style

 

[FeralEcho]

I'm not into these types of shooters but this looks like a creative,fun idea. Props to the devs!

 

[Hypereides]

Lol, that's pretty clever. Call me silly, but this is the kind of "outside of the box" thinking innovation I want to see more of in gameplay.

 

[GymWolf]

Lmao this is both hilarious and ingenious.

 

[jshackles]

What if I want to be a JPG or GIF?

That's a pretty weird looking mechanic yet it's a neat idea, and I would love some anime flavors in the hero-shooter genre.

The side-step walking animation when in paper mode is creeping me out though, triggering some slenderman-ish fears.

 

[Dorfdad]

Here is a better video showcasing gameplay looks unique and fun I’ll give it a go and the fact that they have a faction called PUS is crazy! lol

I dont have words for this ... But why you wants to "flat out" your avatar... Why ...

You're a developer are you not? Perhaps, you could ask yourself... why not?

 

[Hudo]

Just to spite Riot Games and Valve, I hope that this game steals the playerbase from both Valorant and the upcoming Deadlock.

 

[Pantz]

Betting this will be a big hit

 

[IAmRei]

You're a developer are you not? Perhaps, you could ask yourself... why not?

yes, but it's so absurd...
i know japan is absurd, but this beyond absurd : ))
i dont know it's worked or not

 

[NanaMiku]

yes, but it's so absurd...
i know japan is absurd, but this beyond absurd : ))
i dont know it's worked or not

It's a Chinese game... That's why it's beyond absurd

 

[Dorfdad]

Got accepted into the beta going to give this a go and see what I think will report back

 

[nikos]

Game looks fun but I uninstalled it before even playing a match because it doesn't support ultrawide. Same with Valorant.
