About Splatoon Raiders

Splat scores of enemies and hunt for treasure in this single-player focused action shooter. Play as a mechanic working with Deep Cut – a trio of swashbuckling musicians – and venture out into the mysterious Spirhalite Islands! Customize your character, kit yourself out with mechanical gadgets and ink-splattering weapons, and take on waves of foes called Salmonids as you raid the islands for salvage. This is mainly a single-player adventure, but you won’t be alone: one member of Deep Cut will raid alongside you in a powerful bot. You can also join with up to three other players online or via local wireless.
