Product Description

Metroid dread.

From the manufacturer

Header
The Hunter

THE HUNTER BECOMES THE HUNTED...

On a remote alien planet, a mechanical menace awaits that will push even the galaxy’s greatest bounty hunter to her limit. Join Samus Aran on her deadliest 2D adventure yet in Metroid Dread on Nintendo Switch.

Long Road

THE LONG ROAD AHEAD

To complete Samus’ mission, navigate your way through the depths of a sprawling planet full of unique environments, perilous danger and mysterious secrets. Use new and familiar abilities to traverse these labyrinths, consult the map to find your way and dispatch hostile enemies in your path using powerful weapons.

Armed

ARMED AND DANGEROUS

Samus always has her trusty Arm Cannon to hand but as she explores planet ZDR, she’ll discover additional weapons and abilities that’ll help her uncover the truth about her mission. As you freely explore the planet, you’ll encounter locked doors, ledges out of reach and areas too hazardous for Samus to safely venture into. By acquiring power-ups and upgrades, you’ll not only overcome these obstacles, but also discover new paths and shortcuts through the environment.

A feeling

A FEELING OF IMMINENT DREAD

Between revisiting regions to explore previously-inaccessible areas and fighting the many larger monsters ZDR is home to, getting off the planet won’t be easy. Especially since the missing E.M.M.I. are far more dangerous than anyone could have ever imagined…

    This metroid game was amazing. The 2d game play feels just like super metroid but with better functionality and graphics. They did a great job tieing up the original storyline line. Even on easy this game can be hard to navigate but isn't to difficult to get used to.

    I am so glad that they decided to make an updated 2d version of our beloved Metroid. It is everything that you would expect from Nintendo and so much more. As a retro gamer, I approve this message. 10/10

    I was going back and forth based on reviews whether this was the right gift for my Metroid loving partner.

    I finally allowed the reviews that said for the nostalgia factor alive it was worth the purchase. I’m so glad i did.

    He has enjoyed it immensely and our kids have loved watching him play and shouting when EMMIs are nearby. If you like Metroid, you will love this game.

    We played as a family- myself, my husband, and our son, he’s 5. It was a lot of fun, extremely challenging at times. Very anxiety inducing with the emmi’s chasing you. But very well done game. I think it’s my personal favorite in the Metroid collection. My son absolutely loved it, he has played most of the other Metroid games as well.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Return to Form
    Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2023
    Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
    This is the first fully brand new 2D Metroid game in quite a while (not counting the Metroid Samus Returns 3DS remake), and it was everything I could've wanted and more. Perfect precise gameplay, a high level of difficulty but not impossible or unfair, fun upgrades, and a good story. My only complaint with the entire game is that the music isn't as iconic and memorable as previous Metroid games, it is much more subtle and atmospheric similar to the musical style in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Other than that though, excellent.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute Must-Play for Metroid Fans and Newcomers!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 30, 2025
    Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
    As a longtime fan of the Metroid series, I was excited to pick up this game, and it absolutely delivers! The gameplay is smooth, the atmosphere is immersive, and the level design keeps you engaged from start to finish.

    What I Loved:
    🎮 Tight, Responsive Controls – The movement and combat feel incredibly fluid, making every encounter satisfying.
    🕵️ Classic Exploration with Modern Upgrades – The game strikes a perfect balance between classic Metroidvania-style exploration and new mechanics that keep things fresh.
    🎨 Stunning Visuals & Atmosphere – The environments are beautifully designed, and the eerie sci-fi feel really pulls you into the world.
    🎶 Great Soundtrack & Audio Design – The music and ambient sounds enhance the tension and excitement throughout the game.

    Minor Consideration:
    🔹 If you're new to the series, the difficulty might feel a bit challenging at first—but that’s part of what makes Metroid games so rewarding!

    Final Verdict:
    This is a must-have for Nintendo Switch owners, whether you’re a longtime Metroid fan or just discovering the series. It’s a masterfully crafted game that keeps you hooked with exploration, upgrades, and thrilling boss fights. Highly recommend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Superbly constructed. Both in terms of the visuals and the game mechanics.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 11, 2022
    Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
    Metroid Dread was my first Metroid game and I really enjoyed it. I've played metroidvanias before I always sort of ran out of steam after a while because the exploration aspect got a bit frustrating to me after a while. Somehow, the regular upgrades to abilities and the beautiful areas in the game always kept me excited about what would come next. The set of skills you earn gradually make Samus a formidable and nimble character that makes traversing the world a breeze. Moreover, by the end of the game I was regularly fighting fairly challenging enemies, but I found I could learn their moveset and react to them fluidly because of both the new abilities I had acquired and the way the game had made me learn how to use them. It's the sign of a very carefully constructed player progression arc that is very hard to get right.

    If I had to point out a flaw, it'd be that some of the moves are a little complicated to execute at speed. I would often find myself unable to execute a particular sequence of actions as I intended. Somehow my intuition about how the move should work and the dynamics of them in the game didn't always line up. I did manage to master this more or less over the game though and considering the breadth of skills I imagine it was difficult to map them all onto sensible controls. Besides these particular difficulties, Samus moves around very fluidly and is a joy to constrol.

    Finally, when you unlock enough abilities, the game becomes a sort of puzzle game based on the abilities you have. I would really recommend getting 100% of items to experience this element of the gameplay, because you could easily miss it. You will likely need a guide though as some of the capabilities of Samus aren't obvious, especially regarding the nuances of the speed boost.

    Getting all the items and completing the game took me about 15 hours. That might not sound a lot for the cost of the game, but it felt like the perfect amount of time for me when the credits rolled.

    Not as good as many of the main stream reviews had me believe. I saw this getting lots of 10/10s on YouTube etc. I think they may have been exaggerated, pretty good game I imagine more so if you are fan of the series. For me the graphics were dark and grainy, game play didn’t have the flow I expected and the sound track was a mish mash of noises. Not the best switch game but not the worse either.
