ShooterPlatformScience fiction

Splatoon is primarily a team-based third-person shooter which is playable by up to eight players in 4-vs-4 matches, although the game also features a single-player campaign. Players control characters called Inklings, wich can change between human form and squid form. Transforming into a squid allows players to swim through ink of their own color, even up walls and through grates, hiding from the enemy and replenishing their ink supply in the process.

What is Splatoon about?

After the Great Zapfish, Inkopolis' primary power supply, is stolen, Cap'n Cuttlefish employs a Splatoon of Inklings to travel to the Octarians' secret underground base and retrieve it. Players assume the role of Agent 3 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon and traverse the treacherous landscape of Octo Valley in order to reclaim various lost Zapfish, Sunken Scrolls, and Power Eggs.

Should I stream Splatoon on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 7 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The two English streams here hold all 14 English viewers — once you take them out there is nothing left to reach.

The two English streams here hold all 14 English viewers between them. Take them out and nothing is left to reach.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

2 right now, to 14 viewers between them. Counted live from Twitch and refreshed every 15 minutes.

Is Splatoon too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 2 people are streaming Splatoon, and the two English streams hold all 14 English viewers between them — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
