It'll almost certainly be available at Best Buy, but it's not 100%. Limited Run Games is taking preorders for physical releases on the Switch and PS4.Is this a digital-only release, or is it coming to retail as well?
I really liked half genie hero, and the soundtrack definitely contributed to that. Shame Jake Kaufman isn't doing this one. I'll have to watch a few videos and have a good listen before even thinking of picking this up at full price.
No DLC for this game apparently.
I only know Monster Boy. Shantae (and Monster Boy) are Zelda alike and not metroidvania. Aka overworld + dungeons.1/2 Genie Hero was disappointing because it was a mediocre game, not because it was too linear. Accordingly I can't say I'm all that interested in the series anymore. Shantae was exciting back when metroidvanias were an endangered species, but now there are probably a dozen exemplars that are better than Shantae ever was.
I agree. Visually this series has had a notable step down after Pirate's Curse. I still enjoyed Half Genie Hero, though, so I will get the latest game at some point.I see, perhaps it doesn't translate as well for me. It's just not as aesthetically pleasing to me as the Pirate's Curse.
And to clarify, I'm ok with non pixel art games as well, some games have spectacular non pixel art style, even when 2d. But for this particular franchise, imo, it looked much better before, when the pixels were more evident.
Dungeons back, explorable world back, and you can chain abilities into each other again.
It wasn't just "mobile" it also works on the AppleTV and you can use a controller for it regardless. I'm hoping that's not the impression some people got of it, but I somehow feel like that's how it went.Yeah, it feels like there's a weird lack of hype for this when it's actually a pretty big deal in the 2D platformer scene. Shantae is a fantastic series and I'm hyped over the moon for Seven Sirens.
I wonder if it has something to do with the game already having been released in two parts on Apple Arcade? But I can't imagine very many Shantae fans played it on that platform, if only because the controls were awful due to its nature as a mobile game.
