Background and overview
Splatoon Raiders casts players as a mechanic teaming up with members of the musical trio Deep Cut to raid the Spirhalite Islands.
Players work through island incursions to gather spoils, all while repelling waves of Salmonid enemies.
The game supports cooperative play for up to four players online or via local wireless, and it lets solo players call for online assistance or offer help to others in exchange for rewards.
Rewritten notable statements
Nintendo’s promotional overview explains that Splatoon Raiders puts the player in the role of a mechanic alongside Deep Cut, with each raid centered on scavenging treasure across the Spirhalite Islands while combating aggressive Salmonids.
One Deep Cut member can accompany the player in a powerful piloted bot and provide a distinctive Showstopper attack.
