Splatoon Raiders started as a tower-defence prototype before shifting to a looter-shooter form. Developers said the switch returned Splatoon’s core spirit after the opening design strayed too far from its core foundations. A Nintendo Switch 2 launch patch brought bug patches and play bits of fine-tuning. Online members now get exclusive social media icons and custom profile avatars. New domestic spots show the game’s bigger roster and gacha bits. Reviews call the game a blend of hunting for loot and shooter tempo, though some note it is short on the visual polish of earlier Splatoon games.
