The brilliant part is that the developers made four unique control schemes, and were able to accommodate right and left handedness. Getting into the gameplay, I found that the control scheme was equal parts genius and infuriating. As Samus chases down the Octoliths, she encounters other Bounty Hunters, who attempt to defeat her and steal her Octoliths. Like in Metroid Prime 3, Hunters features multiple planets to explore, each with their own unique theming. ![]() So off to other worlds to collect the Octoliths! In order to be able to access the ultimate power, Samus has to collect all the Octoliths to unlock the Alimbic Cannon. And then- I did not expect to get jump scared in the first 5 minutes of Hunters!Īfter a tense fight with Kanden, the real meat and potatoes of the story comes into play. Ignoring the hand cramp slowly creeping into my left hand, I help Samus make her way deeper into the Archives. Samus arrives at the Celestial Archives, and I’m finally able to progress in the game past the first room. “ The secret to ultimate power resides in the Alimbic Cluster…” Instead of the usual distress signal, Samus receives a contract from the Galactic Federation about a mysterious message they’ve received. I actually bought the official Nintendo Power guide so I could learn more (and to help me when I got stuck on the boss fights). While the story is packed between the first two Prime games, Hunters introduces a lot of new, interesting characters and set pieces. Features like scanning and strafing are neatly compacted onto the hardware, along with the classic morph ball and missile. Hunters is essentially a Metroid Prime game, but on a handheld system. The developers pushed the DS hardware to its absolute limit, and it shows. Spire is the character that actually got me into wanting to try to play this game! Most Metroid title screens are dark and ominous, but Hunters takes a very different tone, with a very chill soundtrack and cutscenes that show off our main characters’ personalities. One thing that becomes very apparent from the moment the game is turned on is how good it looks and sounds. Now that I’m (slightly) more confident in first person shooters, it’s time to go on the hunt! I decided that Hunters shouldn’t be my first FPS game and decided to try Doom Eternal instead. I quickly found that I was unable to get out of the first room, due to my incompetence at first person shooters. So when I saw the game at a garage sale, I picked it up and decided to try it out. That is to say, I didn’t know it existed until 2021! Surprising, since the game sold quite well and has a passionate fanbase. Metroid Prime Hunters has always been relatively under my radar when it comes to Metroid games. ![]()
