Mask Splitters: one arrow, one teleport, and your opponent's mask cut in half

It all comes down to a bow and four moves. You charge and fire an arrow, and the longer you charge, the faster it flies. You teleport to wherever it landed. You recall it, and it flies back to you through walls, killing anyone who did not see it coming. And if someone gets too close, you cut their mask in half in melee.

First to ten points wins.

Mask Splitters is an action party game between ninjas of four clans: fox, tengu, oni and samurai. What makes it interesting is the arrow recall: teleporting and pulling arrows back through walls create moments where you die from your own bad positioning, or from an arrow fired three seconds earlier by someone who had it all planned.

The twenty-four arenas, split between the Starlit Village and the Sky Temple, are full of elements that complicate everything: bushes for ambushes, explosive barrels, a gong that reflects arrows, players, barrels and chickens, voids to fall into, doors that rotate when hit. And chickens that chase players to confuse them.

It is fast, readable and very funny with friends. But it is also a small game, made by a small team, with limited content and a player base that barely exists yet. There are not enough reviews to generate a Steam score so far. This is clearly not a game to buy to play alone or with strangers.

At 2.89 euros, it is a good buy for an evening with friends. No more, but that is something.
