Splatoon Raiders is a spin-off action-shooter from Nintendo that expands the Splatoon universe with a single-player-focused adventure. Players take control of a customizable Mechanic who teams up with Deep Cut — Shiver, Frye and Big Man from Splatoon 3 — to explore the mysterious Spirhalite Islands. The game combines ink-based combat, treasure hunting, character customization, gadget upgrades and battles against waves of aggressive Salmonids. While designed primarily as a solo experience, it also supports online and local multiplayer for up to four players.
