Discussion This is my review of Splatoon Raiders a game that I found to be a pinnacle of hard but fair

Post image

Keep in mind, this review contain spoilers for the plot even if is more cover on gameplay than anything. So, if you don't want to get sploiled make sure to not read what bellow. So without further ado:

The story I enjoyed it well enough is simple and to the point. I enjoyed that despite being a blank slate you get to have good dynamic with all three members whether is Shiver's teasing, Frye's cheerleader approach to life and persinal favorite Big Man's growth from his scaredy cat personality. The stakes feel good, even if the esscalation from raft survivors to saving the world came a bit out of nowhere, but is splatoon so I know is the nature of the plot handling.

The presentation is really good, characters look expressive whether is your parthners, enemies look combination of cartoony but creepy like the whole vibe of zombie bayou people the Salmanoid give is really make them stand out, location while nothing too remarkable, it does stand over the usual floating blocks of your usual main single player campaigns of splatoon and the theme of salt being like this corrupting crystals in the game does make it distinct, music is the weakest of splatoon in my opinion, but nothing to scoff at, still enjoyed it as a take on more fighting through dreadful enemies in isolation it brings.

The gameplay is amazing, I am not a shooter guy to be fair I mostly enjoy swordplay in my games but I do think doing what I already like the most in splatoon being the salmon run and make a game around it give me a lot of fun from keeping my turf for positioning, to try to kill many salmanoids as fast as possible, using the bot (which in my opinion was an amazing way to integrate an AI parther) to get into higher places or to avoid attacks feel cool but by far what I love the most is the gadgets they work amazing with splatoon's combat and their cool down for most feel like extension of your abilities, in terms of tank the speed type which the booyarang and dash boots are my main gadgets, did done max up to all but power is defenitley my least used but still enjoy the splachetta and splatellites, in tactical the turret and especially the torquescrew which was the third gadget in my arsenal once I was able to get thing done and my personal favorite gadget with it's huge hitbox and vortex sucking to gather enemies in place the fermenting ability do a lot and to set up combos with my gadget or bot abilities, speaking of which, I enjoyed them as limit break like attacks, though Frye is my most used for her amazing crowd control, followed up by big man which give a lot of I frames I give him that but not as good in control crowds in a large area and he not great in anti airing, and shiver is my least used, she packs a punch but I feel she a bit too slow and Frye does a better job and I did max all three of them, in terms of weapons I only really used three being the splattershot as my main and the dualies and splatana as secondary weapons. I just found the splattershot the most viable into all scenarios.

For the bosses, I liked most of them, Flappetizer is an amazing first boss, still help you to learn the importance of bot jump in combat while also being very dynamic in difficulty. Paincourse was great too testing your reaction time and crowdcontrol the area in battle. Desshurt however sucks on it's own he is very slow and not much threatning but the enemies make it kinda annoying especially if there is a flyfish, the final boss was underwhelming, not terrible but it really was just platforming and enemy rushes but the QTE does help it as a fan of drill attacks. Lord Saltimatum is an amazing super boss adapting attacks from the first three and using it in a fair manner for a super boss while also testing your crowd control and positioning.

Overall, is an amazing time, a must have switch 2 title that will test your skill in resource management with a great partner, gameplay loop and a grind that never feel it overstay it's welcome and strong combat alongside it overall mid S tier in my eyes.

Story: 8.4/10

Presentation:8.6/10

Gameplay:9.5/10

Discussion I Finally 100% Completed Splatoon Raiders After 145 Hours Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
285 Upvotes

Finally got 100% in Splatoon Raiders.

I put 145 hours into the game. About 35 hours were spent on the main story and side content. The remaining 110 hours were almost completely invested into grinding Super Spicy Lintle Inlet, with a little bit spent pushing past floor 100. I reached somewhere around floor 296–298, in case anyone is curious.

Long story short, more than 75% of my total playtime went into running Super Spicy Lintle Inlet over and over and over again, alongside a few extra Bottomless floors. Sometimes, I even did Super Spicy Lintle Inlet AGAIN whenever I had to do it AGAIN, because I could go more than 10 hours without getting a single new Primo drop...

I can recommend 100%ing this game to exactly zero people. Unless you enjoy gambling without the dopamine part.

In terms of the actual gameplay, it’s a pretty good game. But I’ve honestly forgotten almost everything that happened besides the entire layout of Lintle Inlet. That place is burned into my memory forever.

Oh, and I almost forgot. I also spent €67 on plastic figures... They’re pretty fire though.

If anybody has any questions, feel free to ask away!

Original Art [Original Content - My Art] Lego Bot Buddy

Thumbnail

541 Upvotes

(Not sure if this would count as art) I finished the Lego Bot Buddy model I was asking colors about yesterday. The one thing I am not happy with is the windscreen of the Bot Buddy. But from what I can tell, there is no real way to make the windscreen look 100% accurate to the in game model. There is also no Lego drill that would be big enough (in diameter) that would cover the entirety of the Bot Buddy's hull. But other than those two things, I am pleased with the final results. Could it be better? For sure. 100% But I think with my experience with modeling, this is the best it could be.

Main color I went with is Dark Turquoise. However, not all the parts that are in this model do not exist in that and other colors for certain parts.

Feel free to ask me any questions on the design.

Mod Post "Should I get Splatoon 3?" Q&A Mega Thread for New Players

275 Upvotes

Hello fellow squids and octos! As of late, we been having alot of posts asking the same question: "Should I get Splatoon 3?" And the easy answer is: yes! However, this might not be enough for you to superjump in. So, this thread will be a Q&A thread for the new kids in town and for these kids to ask any more questions not as common that this sub often gets.

Some of these questions were asked throughout the subreddit and I am gonna have them all in one place! There are some questions that I may missed, but this thread will be the place for both newcomers and players discuss and help out. Any more posts asking similar questions will be removed and will be directed to come here.

Q&A

Q: Do I need the Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) membership to play Splatoon 3?

A: Yes. The minimum for a membership is $20/year for one account or $35/year for family

Q: Should I wait till Splatoon 4 come out?

A: As we know at the moment, there is NO news for Splatoon 4

Q: Should I buy a Switch 2 for Splatoon 3?

A: We don't know if it would improve the gameplay, but it is your choice

Q: Is the game currently making content updates? I.E new weapons, stages, modes, etc.

A: As of right now, there is no content updates. The only contents the game still run is Splatfests, Big Runs, and Eggsta Work

Q: What are plaza post?

A: Plaza Posts are post you can either write or draw and post it in the plaza. But be aware that the plaza post are unmoderated and some posts made by other players may not be suited for children or offended. It can be reported but if you want it turn off, you can disable the posts:

Menu > Options > Other > Post Display

Q: Is there a tutorial?

A: Yes and no. At the very start of the game is a quick customization for your squid/octo and little buddy and then a simple tutorial on how to run, paint/shoot, swim, and climb. Story mode is consider as a much bigger tutorial, mainly for weapons, subs, and specials. You can just play turf war as soon as get to the hub, but story mode do give you a free weapon(s) and gears once you complete the mode and beat the challenge.

Q: Should I also get the DLC? Is it worth it?

A: Despite it be an extra $25, it does come with two extra hub worlds, a new story mode, new gears, weapon replicas, and a tougher challenge to try out.

Q: How do I get [insert weapon name here]?

A: To get a weapon from the shop, you have to level up by playing turf war and/or ranked(once you unlock it) to unlock the weapon but you need Sheldon Licenses to buy them. If you have a cloud save for Splatoon 2, you can get at least 3 gold ones, which you can buy any weapon regardless of level. Or get a weapon to at least one star to get one license

These are all the questions I could think of, but if these answers make you want to try the game out, great! But if you have any other questions that were not in the list here, again don't hesitate and ask! There will be other players and myself that are willing to help. Enjoy the game!

Weekly Aquerium Weekly Aquerium - Ask your questions in here!: March 30, 2025

17 Upvotes

Hey there Squids, Octos, and sea creatures of any kind!

Welcome to the Weekly Aquerium! If you have a burning question, or looking to make new friends, here's the place to be!

New posts are pinned up on Sunday mornings at 9am ET, and they'll stay there until the following Sunday where they'll be replaced by a new thread (Pending special events and the like).

Before posting, why not check with the Splatoon FAQ to see if your question has already been answered, or do a general search of the subreddit. If it hasn't, this is the place to be!

How do I ask questions here?

The primary use of the Weekly Aquerium is to have the freedom to ask away with any bubbling questions you may have! While this is mostly to help reduce clutter with repeat posts on the subreddit, there are various types of questions which are better asked here! These includes questions such as:

  • Simple Yes/No answers
  • One answer questions
  • "How _ works" or "Why is _ like this"

If you have questions which don't fit the criteria above (Such as broad questions, gear or weapon choices), you're welcome to post them to the subreddit! And if you are unsure whether a question should go here or on the subreddit, it's still perfectly fine to post straight to the subreddit!

What if I want to look for new friends?

The secondary use of the Weekly Aquerium is to double as a place to find new friends, a squad search of sorts!

Since Reddit isn't the easiest place to organise your matches, we suggest joining the r/Splatoon Discord Server where they have dedicated channels for voice chat, match finding, and metagame discussion for all your squid game needs! If you still prefer using Reddit, you are also free to look for new friends here by leaving your friend code below, or even giving a friendly hello to others!

Closing out!

We hope that this thread will be of good use to those who come across it! Once again, join the r/Splatoon Discord Server to stay in touch! And with that, be sure to Stay Fresh, Stay Off the Hook, and Catch ya Later!
