The game uses a first-person perspective for combat and exploration, with touchscreen controls handling aiming and camera movement while buttons manage movement, jumping, morph ball transformation, and weapon switching. Levels mix combat encounters, scanning, environmental puzzles, and ability-locked routes that encourage backtracking after upgrades are obtained. Progress is tied to collecting key items and unlocking new areas, while multiplayer offers fast competitive matches featuring different hunters and weapon styles.
Samus Aran
The main protagonist, a legendary bounty hunter equipped with a versatile arm cannon and upgradeable armor.
Sylux
A hostile and mysterious bounty hunter with a rivalry against Samus.
Trace
A sniper-oriented hunter from the Kriken Empire, specializing in long-range attacks.
Kanden
A bio-engineered hunter with aggressive combat traits and a mutated physique.
Spire
A rock-like hunter built for heavy strikes and close-range pressure.
Noxus
A frost-themed hunter who relies on control abilities and freezing attacks.
Weavel
A cybernetic hunter with a split-body design and an aggressive combat style.
Take time to tune the touch sensitivity, since accurate aiming is crucial on DS hardware. Use scanning often, because important clues and progression hints are frequently hidden in scan data. When you find blocked paths, revisit them after gaining new abilities instead of forcing progress. In multiplayer, keep moving, use cover and elevation, and avoid staying exposed for too long in one position.
Tips and tricks
Morph Ball sections are great for quickly revisiting side paths and shortcuts.
Tips and tricks
Against agile enemies, lock on first and keep moving to reduce missed shots.
Tips and tricks
Save supplies before boss fights and learn arena layouts for safer phase transitions.
