The game

Splat scores of enemies and hunt for treasure in a single-player focused action shooter Play as a mechanic working with Deep Cut—a trio of swashbuckling musicians—and venture out into the mysterious Spirhalite Islands! Customize your character, kit yourself out with mechanical gadgets and ink-splattering weapons, and take on waves of foes called Salmonids as you raid the islands for salvage. This is mainly a single-player adventure, but you won’t be alone: one member of Deep Cut will raid alongside you in a powerful bot. You can also join with up to three other players online* or via local wireless**.

The Real Review

Splatoon Raiders is a solid single-player shooter that nails the core loop of splatting waves of enemies and hunting for treasure, with its slick gameplay being the star. The main gripe is its perceived value, with many feeling the price tag is steep for the amount of content you get. While the online co-op is fun, it's not the focus, and the story doesn't leave much of an impression. Performance on the Switch 2 is a point of contention, with some reports of technical issues, but the action is generally smooth and the art style looks fantastic.
