Splatoon Raiders Reviews Praise Single-Player Campaign and Reimagined Salmon Run as Looter-Shooter

Splatoon Raiders, a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive launching July 23, 2024, eliminates competitive multiplayer in favor of a single-player campaign that transforms the series' Salmon Run mode into a looter-shooter experience. Critics describe the game as compelling, with creative objectives and flexible combat mechanics that let players tackle inkfish nests in their own way. The shift represents a significant departure from traditional Splatoon's PvP focus.
