Pikmin 4

Pikmin 4 is a real-time strategy and puzzle-adventure game developed by Nintendo. Players explore a mysterious planet while commanding groups of small plant-like creatures known as Pikmin, each with abilities suited to different hazards and tasks. Different Pikmin types can resist fire, carry heavy objects, cross water or freeze enemies and parts of the environment. Players use them to collect resources, solve environmental puzzles and fight creatures while gradually expanding the areas they can explore. The game also introduces Oatchi, a rescue dog who can carry Pikmin, break obstacles and help during combat. Exploration takes place both above and below ground, with caves offering self-contained challenges, treasures and enemies. Progression revolves around rescuing stranded crew members and improving the expedition team’s capabilities.
