Game description
Metroid Dread NSP series was inspired by the Alien franchise and the works of writer H.R. Giger, so it has always been very close to the horror genre. Now, the latest entry developed by MercurySteam called Metroid Dread has come even closer to that threshold as the developer has incorporated survival segments amidst the chases of entities hunting down the protagonist in every nook and cranny.
Metroid Dread was released exclusively on the Nintendo Switch system. The game has sold over 3 million copies worldwide, becoming the most successful game in the series. Metroid Dread is honored as the only Switch game to win the Best Action-Adventure Game award at the 2021 Game of the Year.
Story
Metroid Dread NSP take place right after the end of Metroid Fusion. For those who haven’t played the previous parts, the intro of the game will have a recap of what happened in Metroid Fusion. At the beginning of the game, our protagonist, Samus Aran, the hot lady wearing heavy armor, was sent to the planet ZDR to investigate a mysterious X parasite. This remote planet has become chaotic with evil alien creatures and robots (called E.M.M.I). They are programmed to hunt her down and destroy her.
Unfortunately, during the investigation, Samus herself was also infected with this parasite. She was treated with Metroid cells. Although it eliminated the parasites from her body, her suit still bears the remnants of them. These creatures learned all of Samus’s abilities to create a perfect clone called “SA-X”. This is one of the most dangerous enemies Samus has to face in the game.
