This game was "ok" but god it's such a massive letdown and downgrade from Pirate's Curse It's so... barebones and simplistic. This is like playing Risky's Revenge all over again. A downgrade from the previous game but with nicer visuals, I guess.
As a Shantae fan, I will admit that the game feels rushed out to meet expectations from fans (as most games do). If it wasn't a kickstarter project, we could've gotten more content (aside the DLC).
Alexander Jenkins
DLC is junk too, it's basically all "play the game again but with an alt costume" It's like they put all the money into the visuals and presentation of the game and forgot to actually spend time on game and level design.
Jose Russell
Shantae is a mediocre series that relies on sex appeal and is basically a western Senran Kagura, except even more pathetic because the fans will tell you the games are actually good.
Isaac Walker
Which is why I hope they don't use kickstarter for their games anymore.
William Lopez
>alt costume
I was disappointed that it was just running through the levels again, but I did like a couple of the other modes. Ninja, MSF and Risky mode were pretty fun.
2/3 means two thirds you fucking moron. Stop doing that shit. Just use a hyphen.
Jacob Allen
Yeah it was kind of disappointing, especially after playing pirate's curse. Hopefully they do better this time
Wyatt Allen
they basically said, ok guys Pirates curse was a hit, so lets throw it all away and make some mediocre crap.
Joshua Sullivan
I liked the extra modes so I'm happy.
Owen Perez
The game also has a fuckton of backtracking, and while I'm fine with stuff like coming back later with a new powerup to reach a previously unreachable spot, the game is pumped to the brim with this shit. Like how the bat sonar is useful in one single fucking room in the entire game. It really had a ton of pointless padding like this to inflate a bit the game's mediocre length.
I was very disappointed to learn that the levels weren't remixed or anything. Made it a slog to run through. There should have at least been a new level for each mode.
>Just use a hyphen. 2-3 means nothing you fucking moron. Stop doing that shit. Just use an en dash.

Isaiah Jackson
I also thought this game was kind of nda ass.
Josiah Bennett
It was Kickstarter game, also i have the feeling that they wanted newbies to get introduced to the franchise, also they focused more on graphics than anything else.

huh?
Christian Rivera
It was more a soft reboot of the franchise than anything. It doesn't even follow up on anything from Pirate's Curse.
Ethan James
date fuck friends and Risky
Jack Wright
Yeah, the story was basically non existent, i just hope that Wayforward made lots of money with 1/2 Hero so they can bring a decent Shantae game with the next entry.
Gabriel Thomas

Evan Walker
how u even played the games nigger?
Christian Morgan
Don't use kickstarter to excuse wayforward's mismanagement. The game made twice it's original goal. Any other project could've done a lot more with that money(hollow knight is hand drawn and has much more content despite not even making 100k on kickstarter I think). WF made a kickstarter 100% reliant on stretch goals which I'm pretty sure the website itself tells you to not do.
Gabriel Mitchell
>introduce new character >it's irrelevant Such a huge waste
I agree, even more so after having just recently finished Pirate's Curse before I bought it. I got a really good deal though and wasn't gonna grumble at getting the Ultimate Day One Edition brand new on Switch for £20.
Harpy best transformation.
Nathan Flores
Seems like all that dev time went to the art direction.
Ayden Cox
>Summa Cum Laude >some cum load what did they mean by this
Kayden Cruz
Heck hollow knight straight up turned one of their stretch goals into a straight up sequel come on
Lucas Gray
what part of shantae do i need to rub to make my wishes come true?
No, it's on sale on Switch right now for $20 I don't know how much it cost back when the game launched but it certainly doesn't feel like a game that should cost more than $20
The difference is "before" here is actually well drawn, while OG Shantae is not.
Michael Rogers
seriously fuck off falseflagger faggot I'm so fucking tired of you retards trying to ruin our fanbase because you're jealous she actually has support and new games coming I swear if I ever see any of you irl I'll punch your throat and make you beg for mercy, you're a worthless autist and someone needs to put you in your place
The fucking dryad dance kills this game. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to give you a dance in level fucking 2 that makes you invulnerable to anything as long as you want, plus be able to produce fruits that heal yourself? The entire rest of the game becomes using the dryad whenever an enemy attacks to become invulnerable, then switching back once their attack animation finishes and hit them 1-2 times. Repeat ad infinitum until the enemy dies. It's so tedious.
what? I never used that shit and the game was still a breeze. There's so much shit that breaks the game
Chase Watson
I would say the Friends to the End is the best part of the game. However I do believe that all the Kickstarter stretch goals must have bogged down the standard game.
Adrian Long
Stop comparing portrait art to sprite art you retard.
Jaxson Nguyen
why bother making a decent game when you can do something cheap and quick, add fapbait and make virgins desperate to give you free money?
I blame the kickstarter, we not only lost out on 2 chapters they had initially planned but the voting on forms and extra content meant that the game wasn't one solid vision from the get go and many things feel shoe-horned in for the sake of it. Hopefully Shantae5 actually got real funding and can be a complete game.

>tfw want to replay PC after the sour taste HGH left in my mouth but don't want to dish out $20 for it and my 3DS L and R buttons are busted
see WF blatantly mismanaged the kickstarter of HGH, the game's issues came from THEIR mistakes, not kickstarter. Stop blaming kickstarter for WF's incompetence with money management
Bentley Roberts
Are you thinking I am blaming Kickstarter the company and not how they used kickstarter? I am basically saying exactly what that post is saying that the stretch goals lead to an incomplete feeling product, not only that but pledge goals also got to vote on forms and boss designs further leading to a lack of a complete vision for how each form was going to interact with the world.
Jacob Russell
from how you say it, it sounds like you are blaming the fact that they used a kickstarter, when in reality the faults of the game were from WF's own incompetence, it's not like they were held at gunpoint and were told to do whatever the backers said, they had complete control over the project and chose to make all the mistakes they made.
Levi Johnson
Isn't that one of those stringy mobs from half-life
Easton Nguyen
I'm thinking about buying Half Genie Hero on Switch seeing as its on sale right now.
Is it worth it?
Isaac Clark
if you're forgiving and it includes all the dlc

>ugly ass flashgame visuals Give me back my pixels
If you had the opportunity to design her moveset for Smash, how would you go about it? I was thinking
>Neutral A, ftilt, dtilt, utilt, dash attack hair whip that can rapid fire, heavy kick, crouching hair whip that kinda works like diddy dtilt, and elbow dash for dash attack. Ftilt and Utilt are slow but have high knockback
>B, Side B, Down B, Up B flintlock pistol, Risky's boots (scimitar charge), Scimitar (jumping down slash), and cannon that shoots 3 times and transitions into Risky's hat on the 3rd jump and acts kind of like Peach's parasol without a hitbox
>fsmash, down smash, usmash Monkey Bullet, Elephant Stomp, and Nega Shantae's mermaid hop into spin in midair that kind of acts like Sonic's Usmash. When charging any of these smash attacks, Shantae dances their respective dances from Risky's Revenge and morphs into the animals on release.
>Nair, Fair, Bair, Uair, Dair Victory animation where she jumps in the air and spins horizontally, hair whip, something original, something original, and drill kick that probably acts as a stall and fall
>Final Smash Giga Mermaid
Owen Price
Get Pirate's Curse instead. If you already have it get Hollow Knight instead of wasting your money on HGH t. HGH kikestart backer
Austin Martin
forgot the uppercut kick as utilt
Jason Ross
Well no then it wasn't my intention
Assuming its the same 25% off Steam has, it may be worth it. Its not a terrible game, just disappointing in some aspects. Some of the DLC modes also are really fun.
>bites blade >kick it >her head gets split in 2 this is what you get for being a dumb slut
Easton James
The problem with transformations is that Shantae dances to turn into them. It's kind of hard to incorporate unless you have a stance system like Shulk or something, but I understand what you mean.
Maybe the lamp dance can act as a tether grab or maybe a down B move like Rosalina's?
Christopher King
There should be more Shantae Spurdos
Easton Torres
haha, never mind. I forgot when I hacked my Wii U 2 years ago I actually installed all Shantae games. Based dead console still useful today

Sebastian Anderson
I know she's not. I'm not delusional.
Robert Rivera
But DUDE IT'S GOT WAIFUS
Fucking insane how shantae only has one good game
Xavier Sanders
The original is flawed but good. RR and HGH are the only stinkers
Hunter Turner
the original is a good game, it just had to contend with the limits of the gameboy color. Kinda like Metroid 2, but not quite that extreme.
Caleb Peterson
No Shantae game will ever be truly good until the add a navel licking minigame
Ayden Clark
It has shit stuff like leaps of faith and being way too zoomed in, but it's still an alright game.
John Flores
>It's like they put all the money into the visuals and presentation of the game and forgot to actually spend time on game and level design. Sounds like a Wayfoward game
Blake Anderson
The games are so devoid of quality the only they got going fort them is the porn.
Matthew Reed
so why does Shantae get a pass with all the fetish stuff that makes it under the radar
