gamingJul 25, 20261342,013

Splatoon Raiders launched on Nintendo Switch 2 and early reviews praised the campaign and final boss, with one review rating the game 9/10. Players are fixated on the finale and on a giant manta ray the community calls Big Man, with several posts calling the ending among Nintendo's coolest. Conversation has homed in on character progression and playstyles, from a fully upgraded speed tank build that keeps players airborne while charging squiffer shots to calls that Raiders provides a blueprint for Star Fox-style, loot-and-upgrade run design.

Splatoon Raiders is really good. I'm enjoying it a lot. Star Fox and Splatoon Raiders has been an excellent kickoff to Switch 2 - Year 2!

I'd hop on the Splatoon Raiders bandwagon but I just happened to acquire a second hand copy of Splatoon 3 recently so I figured I'd go through the story mode of that first instead lol

Splatoon Raiders is the blueprint for what they should do with Star Fox — make it run-based, get loot for your ship, craft upgrades and chat with Slippy at home base. It’s free real estate, people

Splatoon Raiders!!! 😭🦑💕 I don't know if it's just bc I've played thousands of hours of splatoon at this point, but their creative direction is just so good. The single player games and dlc always feels so clever.

somehow nothing ever beats the worldbuilding and freshness of splatoon 🥹

I actually don’t usually like the single player stuff because I’m bad at it haha! But the worldbuilding and style is just so good anyway!! I think I’m going to give Raiders a try.

For most media I like I feel the world building/creative direction doesn't meet it's potential *cough* Pokemon, but Splatoon is that girl. The style is unmatched and it gets even better with each entry 🐙💅✨

I've been so addicted to Splatoon Raiders the past couple of days that my brain decided to come up with another splatoon themed iterator, they go by the name Simmering Skillet, or just Skillet. #rainworld #iterator #splatoon #splatoonraiders
