Metroid Dread is a critically acclaimed action-adventure game developed by MercurySteam and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. Set on the alien planet ZDR, players take on the role of Samus Aran, who is trapped in a deadly world filled with vicious alien lifeforms and advanced robots called E.M.M.I.

In Metroid Dread, players navigate a labyrinth of enemies in one of Samus's most intense side-scrolling adventures yet. The game emphasizes classic Metroid gameplay, combining exploration, combat, and ability upgrades. Samus showcases remarkable agility, enabling her to perform parkour over obstacles, slide through tight spaces, and engage in ferocious combat.

Key Features:

• Exploration: A vast map with secrets and upgrades awaits, allowing players to return to previous areas for new discoveries.
• Combat: A diverse arsenal including a primary attack beam, grapple beam, melee counter, missiles, morph ball, and spider magnet enhances gameplay. The Phantom Cloak ability lets Samus remain hidden, albeit at the cost of Aeion energy during movement.
• E.M.M.I. Robots: These relentless robots create additional challenge. They can be temporarily disabled with the powerful Omega Cannon.
• Difficulty Modes: Choose from Normal, Hard, and Dread Mode, with Rookie Mode available for beginners, featuring reduced damage from bosses.
