The highly anticipated 5v5 paperlike anime-style tactical shooter, Strinova, is gearing up for its limited-time test phase. Players from regions including Europe, Southeast Asia, South America, and South Korea will soon have the chance to experience this uniquely captivating game ahead of its official release.
While Strinova has yet to launch globally, it has already garnered significant attention within the international esports community. In August, it even made an appearance at the prestigious E-Sports World Cup, standing alongside popular titles such as Apex Legends, Overwatch, PUBG, and MLBB. Competing as one of more than 20 participating games, Strinova has quickly gained recognition for its innovative gameplay and aesthetic.
But what exactly makes Strinova so appealing? Developed by iDreamSky, this free-to-play shooter introduces a unique mechanic called “Stringify,” allowing players to switch seamlessly between 3D and 2D gameplay. This dual-dimensional approach not only adds visual flair but also enhances gameplay by allowing characters to move through tight spaces, dodge bullets, and tackle strategic challenges with ease. Some people online affectionately call it “Paperman” shooting.
Each character in Strinova comes equipped with a primary weapon and a variety of secondary weapons, including grenades, long swords, and flamethrowers. On top of that, every character boasts an active skill, a passive skill, and an ultimate ability. Players can accumulate resources during battles, unlock attribute enhancements, and even modify their ultimate abilities, adding a layer of strategy to the gameplay.
The “Stringify” feature further enriches the strategic complexity, allowing characters to alter their attack modes and movement patterns. This creates numerous possibilities for close-quarters combat, adding depth beyond traditional shooter mechanics. With a longer time-to-kill (TTK) mechanic, players have more opportunities to engage in team-based tactics, secure positional advantages, and assist teammates, making for a more dynamic and strategic experience.
For those eager to get a taste of Strinova, now is the perfect time to join the limited-time test. The closed beta will run from August 21 at 20:00 (UTC+8) to August 25 at 20:00 (UTC+8). Players interested in participating can sign up for access on the official Strinova website at https://www.strinova.com/.
