Otakara can be found all over the Uzushio Islands, and the natural environments and terrain vary from stage to stage.
You’ll defeat ferocious salmon to obtain Otakara and ikura, which serves as energy for your survey mechs.

Weapons Essential for Defeating Salmon

This game features over 100 types of weapons.
You can occasionally obtain them by defeating the Shake.
Weapons have levels—the higher the level, the greater their power—and there also seem to be rare ones with special abilities.

You can equip up to two “Gadgets”—tools that make you even more powerful against the Salmon.
You can set your favorites in the tank on your back.
There are three types of tanks...

Speed Tank: A type that lets you fight while moving quickly
Power Tank: A type that overwhelms enemies with raw power
Technical Tank: A type that relies on strategic, technical gameplay

As you can see, there are various playstyles.

You can also enhance your gadgets by equipping “ Gadget Parts.”
You can equip up to 9 of these to expand attack range, add new actions, or increase attack power under certain conditions.

Supports multiplayer for up to 4 players

While this game is designed to be enjoyed at your own pace in single-player mode, it also supports multiplayer for up to 4 players.
You can also progress through the story while playing with friends.

Furthermore, even when playing solo, you can use the Help feature to get assistance from other players online.
However, once you clear a stage, the Help feature will be unavailable for a while, so be sure to use it when you really need it.
