How would you rank the Shantae games?

They're all pretty mediocre to be honest. Only here for the porn

No, only when she gets a good game.

>Apple Arcade timed exclusive
>Part 1

It's over bros...

So all of them?
Pirate's Curse>Seven Sirens>Risky's Revenge>OG Shantae>Half Genie Hero
Just buy an iphone bro
A-user please!

They're all "fun." Not fantastic but good enough.
Pirate's Curse is the best though.

>removed Kaufman
>rushed out the first half of the game to release it on mobile devices
>spent whole budget on trigger opening
>even their dedicated fan base is mad at them for sucking apples dick
>lukewarm reception from the few outlets that have reviewed the game
Seven sirens killed the series didn't it...

DON'T YOU HAVE PHONES

Maybe they can do another Kickstarter for Shantae 6.

Pathetic
She'll never be in smash

November 21st

At that point I would just call it a day and turn it into a porn series

>smash
Isn’t their like 20+ smash threads to talk about this shit?

Sucks the new game is Apple Arcade temporarily exclusive, other then that Seven Sirens is pretty fun and prob the only noteworthy game on that shit other then like gungeon and Frogger

hol up this iphone game is the big game that we're getting later as a console release?
it's so over bros

Naw it’s like a title for Apple Arcade so it’s kinda on all Apple products atm, other then that it plays a lot like HGH but more refined

Yes, shantae 5 is a mobile game getting a console port later

user I REALLY want marina and shantae to smash genitals

would you still love her if she became real

Worst case now is part 2 comes on all consoles, Shantae 5 is good, and they don’t pull this again

whatcha mean about part 2

can someone post the butt bump gif?

Shantae 5 is episodic.

God I just wish they didn't just keep the same models, they looked alright in 1/2 genie but the flat backgrounds in this app game make it look bland

It’s a two parter, part one is half the game which Apple Arcade gets and part 2 is full release

stupid user they are both girls

No.

I like to think the hate each other, since one is a blatant ripoff of the other

Attached: parodius fanart.jpg (1510x864, 800K)

Why would she rip off Shantae?!?!?!

The next game is literally a mobile game that's getting ported to consoles and will probably cost $30-40 despite this, what a joke of a franchise

She fucks risky every night with her futa cock

I sure hope so!

Squid Smith!

God the HGH style sucks

Do you all think Shantae SS will have dlc? My best guess is the full game will be around $20 bucks on consoles and stuff so I can see them add some dumb bonus content after launch

1>3>2>4
5 will probably be in the middle

Attached: 1543611914861.jpg (1200x1600, 282K)

This game will 100% be $30 they would never charge a reasonable price

Really hope someone steals Matt’s hard drive and uploads the Shantae GBA tom

PC > Shantae > RR > HGH
Hoping Seven Sirens will take first or second.

Pirate's Curse
>pirate abilities are fun to use and faster than the usual transformations
>good dungeons and puzzles
>good level variety
>good bosses
>villain isn't Risky for once
>would be better if it was one interconnected map and not just islands of linear stretches
>collectibles are only heart squids and items required for story progress

Shantae
>dances actually require some inputs to be done, and effort to unlock some, kinda tedious but also makes them more entertaining to use
>transformations all have some decent uses, except spider gets a bit useless after you get harpy
>good dungeons and puzzles, best in the series so far
>decent bosses, Risky fight is kino though
>world is a ring that loops around to the other side
>lotsa side stuff, like mini games
>it's old, and sure feels like it
>money is useless cause you can just do mini games
>lots of instant death spikes
>exploration only really worth it once you get Harpy in the last dungeon
>many collectibles but they're not really worth it, some transformation attacks are good and you'll need life ups for Risky though

Risky's Revenge
>only three transformations, but they're used effectively
>decent dungeons, but there's only 2
>meh bosses, nega-shantae is a pathetic final boss
>world is sorta interconnected, but not really
>padding near the end so mermaid form gets some use
>magic jam is the only optional collectible, but you can choose what to get with it, so it's alright
>is just kinda short

Half Genie Hero
>tons of transformations, most of them super situational
>no dungeons or puzzles, just a regular platformer now
>ok bosses, not bad but nothing special
>levels are completely linear now, with small branches only leading to immediate challenge rooms
>collectibles are all either heart containers, useless form upgrades or mandatory
>shit DLC that's just the same game again, but with slightly different abilities

And with that I’m never buying their games again.

true, they should go back to sprites

But user, be grateful they're even releasing the game at all!!!!

Or just pick a better fucking art style

What's the issue if eventually we're getting the full game anyway?

Just kinda a scummy thing to do, especially since it basically confirms that this game is mobile game quality, which isn't a good thing.

The game will still be segmented, its not being designed as one full product but two game stitched together.

It has its moments.

Attached: 1533346402296.webm (1328x564, 500K)

At the very least the pacing is probably going to end up being notably off.

I played the first game but I felt pretty underwhelmed. I would've loved it if it was only dungeons and boss fights but running from town to town felt like a chore. Are the later games better? Are they more generous with warp squids?

hope there's another rotty race

Just seems like pessimism rather than realism, but I could just be optimistic.
It's unlikely that they only designed the story or gameplay half way and then only once they released the first part they started planning out the rest, and the last games besides HGH are all available on mobile in some form so "mobile game quality" seems like a vague expectation for Shantae, especially when Apple Arcade's purpose seems to be to up that bar anyway and Seven Sirens seems to play like a standard shantae game so far.
First part does seem to end on a cliffhanger, though.

>Shantae SS
bruh
what

I hope they will fix most of those issues in the console release, But the OST by not Jake Kaufman really hurts

what happened?

Wait...
Shantae: Seven Sirens
Shantae: SS
Shantae: /ss/...
>Shantae: /ss/
WHAT DID THEY MEAN BY THIS

At the least there are a couple of typos (ironic since they make a "knowing the difference between eat/west" joke again) and some enemies may be misaligned on their platforms causing them to float like a pixel or two

I guess they're really jumping on the fanservice bandwagon.

Exactly that Jake left to make his own studio however he can still be hired by anyone he just ask for more doe, cash that went to the Trigger animation.

Bolo is about to get shotafied isn’t he?

Fucking hell user I got a chuckle

Why just stop there? Let’s steal everything form Castelvania!
Fully customizable outfits (or at least the jewelry on her regular outfit) that can alter several of Shantaes stats and skills alongside a crafting system and getting new moves by reading tier B comics like Branson

They already mentioned consoles are getting the full game.

Apple is just egtting it episodic cause of some retarded deal.

The apple episode 1 literally ends with the game just cutting off. IT's literally a glorified long demo.

Checked the whole thing and it feels much akin Pirate's Curse/Risky's Revenge. You guys are getting scared over nothing.

This, anyone “scared” by this are either people who hate Shantae and weren’t gonna play the game anyways, or retards

Not him but godaamn if there is a game where they should really not drop the ball is this one the trigger animation finally granted Shantae the attention of the mainstream media, depending on this game is how all other will be judged by the normies

Even normies aren't gonna play it on the Apple arcade and the oens that do already have terrible taste for using it regardless.

Bormies with more common sense will see the game when it comes out on PC and consoels and nothing bad will happen.

It's just HGH DLC.
Visually disgusting, plus they cut a deal with Apple.
They'll likely get bought out within the next year or two by Microsoft or suffer from some shitty disaster that wrecks their studio.
