Chris Melnyk writes, "Foamstars tries to bring something new to the table but has almost immediately been drowned out thanks to its repetitive and boring gameplay."
Foamstars latest season, Future Funk, is now available for all players to enjoy. - IS
With uninspiring gameplay, hollow live service, platform restrictions, and being outclassed by Helldivers 2, Foamstars didn't stand a chance.
Played Foamstars for about 10 minutes, the presentation made it feel like game made for teenagers. All fluff and no substance.
The game was just flawed in concept. I don't know anyone that saw the initial trailer and thought they would really want to play it. No idea how they expected to build a large enough player base to sustain it.
I’m actually glad this game flopped hard even as a free game.. sony decided to go gun blazing with gaas since Ryan took over and turned out to be a terrible decision that made them cancel their gaas plans by canning a number of games, which explains the silence from sony at the moment
To be fair, it's not like anyone expected Helldivers 2 to be so successful. So that was not something Foamstars could have predicted. I had Helldivers 2 pre-ordered as soon as I was able. I just really loved the first game. But it felt like hardly anyone even knew the franchise existed before the second game actually released.
same, I played the 1st helldiver to death with my mates but ultimately it was a niche product and I certainly wasn’t expecting the sequel to be this popular.
This game was doomed from the start. Square's gaas track record is atrocious. They often times call it quits on these titles within the first year. Hard to get excited knowing that fact. Anyone half way paying attention to this avoided the game like the plague for that very reason.

Earlier today Foamstars entered its third season, Mysterious Swing, which adds Foamstar Chloe Noir, and 20 new skins. - IS
It blows my mind that this wasn't released on PC too for a wider player base. This is going to be dead extremely soon sadly.
