This title is the first spin-off in the Splatoon series, featuring a grand adventure involving the protagonist, a Mechanic, and Deep Cut as they hunt for treasure in a new setting, the Spirhalite Islands.
Treasure can be found all over the Spirhalite Islands, with diverse natural environments and terrain depending on the stage.
Players defeat ferocious Salmonids to obtain treasure and Power Eggs, which serve as fuel for your survey mech.
Weapons Essential for Taking Down Salmonids
This title features over 100 Weapon variations.
You can occasionally obtain them by defeating Salmonids.
Weapons have levels, with higher levels providing greater power, and there also appear to be rare versions with special abilities.
Equip Gadgets to Make Salmonid Extermination More Powerful
You can equip up to two Gadgets, which are tools that make exterminating Salmonids more powerful.
You can set your preferred items into the tank on your back.
There are three variations of tanks, each with different performance characteristics as follows:
- Speed Tank: A variation for fighting while moving at high speeds
- Power Tank: A variation for powerfully overwhelming enemies
- Tactical Tank: A technical variation designed for strategic movement
The performance varies accordingly.
Furthermore, you can upgrade Gadgets by attaching "Gadget Parts."
You can attach up to nine parts to increase attack range, add new actions, or boost attack power under specific conditions.
Supports Up to 4-Player Multiplayer
You can enjoy this title on your own, but it also supports up to 4-player multiplayer.
You can also progress through the story while playing with friends.
Additionally, even when playing solo, you can use the Help Feature to receive assistance from other players online.
