Metroid Fusion

Metroid Fusion is a side-scrolling action-adventure game that combines exploration, combat and progression within a structured environment. Players navigate distinct sectors, acquire new abilities and unlock access to previously restricted areas as they advance. The game emphasizes guided objectives alongside ability-based traversal, with a focus on atmospheric tension, evolving threats and progression through upgrades. Samus Aran is infected by a parasite called the X and survives only after a vaccine made from Metroid cells is injected. Her suit is rebuilt as the Fusion Suit, and she has lost most of her abilities. The story takes place on a research station, the BSL Station, where Samus receives objectives from the station's computer. The player absorbs X parasites from defeated enemies to restore health and ammunition. Samus is also hunted by the SA-X, a hostile copy of herself that she cannot fight early in the game. Each sector has its own theme and bosses, and the new abilities Samus gets open up the parts of the station that were closed before.
