Description

Metroid Dread is an action-adventure game developed by MercurySteam and Nintendo EPD, released for the Nintendo Switch in 2021. It is the latest installment in the Metroid series and serves as the conclusion to the long-running storyline of Samus Aran’s battles against the Metroids and the X Parasite.

The game follows Samus as she explores the mysterious planet ZDR, responding to a distress signal sent by the Galactic Federation. Upon arrival, she encounters the powerful Chozo warrior Raven Beak, who strips her of her abilities and leaves her stranded deep within the planet’s complex, interconnected environments. As she journeys upward, Samus must regain her lost abilities, uncover hidden secrets, and battle hostile creatures while being relentlessly hunted by the nearly indestructible E.M.M.I. robots—high-tech machines programmed to eliminate her on sight.

With fast-paced platforming, intense combat, and fluid exploration, Metroid Dread builds upon the series’ classic 2D side-scrolling gameplay while introducing new mechanics such as the slide, counter, and free aim. The game’s tense atmosphere, combined with its challenging boss fights and immersive storytelling, creates a gripping experience that keeps players on edge from start to finish. The addition of the E.M.M.I. encounters, which force players into high-stakes stealth sequences, brings a unique sense of dread fitting of the game’s title.

Boasting sharp visuals, smooth animations, and a haunting sci-fi soundtrack, Metroid Dread modernizes the classic Metroid formula while staying true to its roots. It has been widely praised for its gameplay, level design, and overall execution, cementing itself as one of the best entries in the franchise and a must-play for fans of action-adventure games.
