Gameplay

The player controls a slime named Slarin. Unlike the first two games, which were 2D tank battles, this title features naval battles in a 3D environment. The goal is to retrieve the Rainbow Orbs, not rescue kidnapped slimes. Combat involves flinging the slime at enemies or loading ammunition into ship guns during naval battles. Multiplayer supports up to four participants via Street Pass. The Netshop, also used in Dragon Quest IX, lets players upgrade ship parts and buy rare items with in-game currency.

Development

The title was first announced on March 16, 2011, as the first Nintendo 3DS title of the series. It was released in Japan on November 2, 2011, and re-released as an Ultimate Hits title on December 6, 2012. In February 2012, McDonald's released downloadable content with four exclusive items. The chain also offered a free minigame download called McDonald’s Slime Ship Battle DX, which could earn a one-day food coupon.
