Metroid Dread

Information

What is Metroid Dread?

Metroid Dread is a game in the Metroid series, which has been a phenomenon on Nintendo consoles since the mid-1980s. The Metroid games tell the story of the legendary female bounty hunter Samus Aran, who takes on space threats and uncovers secrets, intrigues, and sinister (space) plots. Samus is aided by her unique space suit, which allows her to transform into a metallic ball, among other abilities. The Metroid games are primarily shoot ‘em up platformers with action-adventure elements.
On a planet called ZDR, Samus believes she has eradicated all X-parasites. These parasites can mimic any living organism, making them extremely dangerous. However, it turns out that these parasites are not entirely wiped out—they are still alive on this planet. Naturally, Samus is once again sent to the planet to eliminate all space parasites before it’s too late...
