Splatoon Raiders started as a tower-defence prototype before moving to a loot-driven shooter format. Leads said the switch restored Splatoon’s core identity after the initial design drifted too far from its core foundations. A Switch 2 launch patch added bug fixes and play bits of fine-tuning. Online users now obtain exclusive social media icons and custom profile images. New domestic ads show the game’s broader roster and gacha hooks. Reviews call the game a blend of loot runs and shooter pacing, though some note it lacks the visual polish of past Splatoon titles.
