Gameplay

[edit]

Eco Shooter: Plant 530 is a light-gun shooter where players utilize the Wii Zapper to shoot down robots made of metal cans. Each shot requires a set amount of Gun Energy, which can be obtained by vacuuming up energy spheres, defeating enemies or destroying oil drums; the vacuum can overheat if the button is held for too long. Shooting targets in succession is counted as combos. Each level ends with the player facing a special boss character. A challenge mode is available after clearing the game's three chapters, in which the Gun Energy does not refill automatically in-between chapters.[1]

Reception

[edit]

The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2] Sean Aaron of Nintendo Life praised the graphics, novel concept and the game's utilization of the Wii Zapper, but criticized its extremely short length.[1] Keza MacDonald of Eurogamer was less positive, noting its lack of variety and short length to be detrimental to the game's experience.[3]
