unlabelledView post →Clearned Shantae and the Seven Sirens. Another solid Shantae game. Fun metroidvania, but the last area/boss ended up too easy BECAUSE of the metroidvania and I just couldn't die. Not as good as Pirate's Curse or HGH, but still a good midtier in the series. 8/10, consistently good quality.
unlabelledView post →played a bit of Shantae and the Seven Sirens. i definitely think i prefer Half-Genie Hero and the lack of a Jake Kaufman soundtrack is a shame but so far it's good! im kinda glad they expanded upon the art style from the previous game, it's a very unique look.

unlabelledView post →It's almost impressive just how quickly Shantae and the Seven Sirens establishes that it's a Wayforward game.
unlabelledView post →I recently brought Shantae and the Seven Sirens on Steam been enjoying playing through the game again, drew up Squidsmith since she's my favorite NPC and love her design in the game #Shantae #Squidsmith #fanart #ms_paint #WayForward
unlabelledView post →Its been awhile since I last streamed a Shantae game so let's do a 100% run of Shantae and the Seven Sirens! (or Risky's Revenge if Seven Sirens doesn't behave) www.twitch.tv/fairyduni
unlabelledView post →Started playing Shantae and the Seven Sirens today. A charming, cozy game to play after the emotional pile-driver that was NieR: Automata. Enjoying it so far!
unlabelledView post →Shantae and the Seven Sirens (2019/2020) for the Nintendo Switch. The last chronological game in the series, and it's probably one of the better ones but there's a couple big asterisks next to that statement.
unlabelledView post →Was watching a friend play Shantae and the Seven Sirens the other day. A cool game with some pretty ladies. :] (Harmony on the left, and the arena town bathhouse NPC on the right.) #Shantae #シャンティ #Harmony
unlabelledView post →Playing Shantae and the Seven Sirens and finished the subquest with Sky and the Armor Baron. This image encapsulates my thoughts on Sky in this game.
unlabelledView post →*plays Shantae and the Seven Sirens* Oh cool looks like this one game doesn't have the typical boneheaded WayForward game design choices! *makes it to the very final stage* Ah, there it is.
unlabelledView post →So yeah, Shantae and the Seven Sirens. Quite fun if you're into these kinds of games, and if you've never played a Shantae game this is a good option to start with, albeit there are no bad choices here except perhaps Risky's Revenge. I give it a "you weren't fooling anyone, Rottytops" out of 10. 🧵
unlabelledView post →We finished off Shantae and the Seven Sirens tonight! What a cool ass game... had to use Touhou Lost Branch of Legend as filler material, but it's fine, we did Potion Crimes. Thanks everyone who came out to hang, it makes me stoked when you guys do! We raided out to rad boy @gammachris.bsky.social

unlabelledView post →🧵 Shantae and the Seven Sirens is my second favorite game of the series thus far, I love the characters especially the half-genies, Shantae still being charming as always and with Risky Boots being her self confident self. The plot is honestly interesting with the seven sirens and the… #shantae
unlabelledView post →Shantae and the Seven Sirens (Various) After it's more linear predicessor, this game returns to the Metroidvania gameplay Shantae's known for, with new transformations and mechanics to spice things up! It has the series' fun writing and great music, and introduces some delightful new characters!
unlabelledView post →Happy 4th Anniversary to Shantae and the Seven Sirens! A great game, and the birth of this iconic moment! #Shantae
unlabelledView post →Eighteenth game of 2026: Shantae and the Seven Sirens (2019/2020), played on the Nintendo Switch. Call me crazy but I can't fathom myself playing these games in a bigger, more powerful console. bsky.app/profile/ivan...
unlabelledView post →6: Shantae and the Seven Sirens (PC) Think this is my favorite Shantae game. I enjoyed Half-Genie Hero but prefer the open world format that this has. The movement is really fun in the speedrun, with the Newt Dash and Bonker Tortoise, and there's a Beginner Mode where that's the main focus.
unlabelledView post →twitch.tv/kiranarutoch Now let's see where the other 6 sirens are... We're live with Shantae and the Seven Sirens! (That game name is a mouthful...) 🧞 #ENVtubers #vtuber #vsky #Vtubers
unlabelledView post →Day 140 is the Shantae and the Seven Sirens soundtrack by Jake Kaufman! I always feel compelled to mention when I've not played the game, as if that could be the only reason to listen to a soundtrack, and I feel a little bad about that. Sometimes amazing music is just amazing music, that's all.
unlabelledView post →09: Xenoblade Chronicles DE I've had a low-key desire to give the Xenoblade games a fair shake, or the first game at any rate. Even pre-purchased the DE on Switch, but its release timing was a bit poor cuz Shantae and the Seven Sirens came out on consoles around the same time. Sorry Shulk ^^;;

unlabelledView post →…Overall Shantae and the Seven Sirens is a great fun game, my second favorite of the series while the Pirates Curse is still my top favorite. Next up is Risky Revolution for the GBA, can’t wait to play that one.
unlabelledView post →In 1 hour, 8 PM UTC+7 / 8 AM ET: Here it is, the game that kicked off the new year! Last time we played Shantae and the Seven Sirens, we managed to gain the Dash Newt Fusion Coin, which sure helped us get back to Arena Town... This stream, let's check on Plink! 🧞 #ENVtubers #vtuber #vsky #Vtubers
unlabelledView post →4) Shantae and the Seven Sirens is such a difficult game to rank because yes, this game is like…not amazing. Any criticism is warranted, and this is the hardest game to place in my mind Alas, my Anglerfish is too Sirened to care. I’ve replayed this game a dozen times. My brains are rotted…
unlabelledView post →However I see Shantae and the Seven Sirens on here and I will defer to another friend of mine @skywardlinknight.bsky.social on how worth it that game is.
unlabelledView post →I heard mixed things back when Shantae and the Seven Sirens came out, but I'm actually really loving it? Like this might be my favorite Shantae game? I know they rebalanced a bunch of stuff in an update, but was that really it? Or am I missing something?
unlabelledView post →Shantae and the Seven Sirens is in contention for what I think is the best game, but at the same time, I might still like Pirate’s Curse better. The fact it’s all one big map to explore is really cool, but if you’re missing collectibles, it can be real annoying to backtrack everywhere.

unlabelledView post →34) Shantae and the Seven Sirens (2020 Game) Yeah, I don’t think I liked this one as much Beat this one at the beginning of August (But I didn’t put it here to keep it anonymous secret of my opinion.)
unlabelledView post →I don't even regret playing DKC Returns HD for Valentine's Day, this is a great game. Monster Hunter World hopefully on Monday, finishing Expedition 33 on Thursday, and MAYBE continuing Shantae and the Seven Sirens on Saturday!
unlabelledView post →13.) Shantae and the Seven Sirens Contrary to many fans, I really enjoyed this entry for bringing back the metroidvania-style exploration and the DLC modes were fun ways to break the game. It can't be denied tho the music is indeed lackluster by the absence of Jake Kaufman 8/10
unlabelledView post →I just beat Shantae and the Seven Sirens, it was such a fun and comfy game! 😃 I think it's still on sale at half-off too!
unlabelledView post →Five years later, I felt the time was ripe for a replay of Shantae and the Seven Sirens. Game seems to have been updated to make the loading screens less egregious. I appreciate. And of course, it's still a good game.

unlabelledView post →I'm not going to be here this Saturday, so I decided that I would finish up Shantae and the Seven Sirens for Game Clearing tonight, just so I would have something to play. www.twitch.tv/jacob_the_hobo
unlabelledView post →I told myself I wasn't gonna start this game till I finished the bonus modes in Half Genie Hero, and now that those where done... several weeks ago, it's time for Shantae and the Seven Sirens for Game Clearing. www.twitch.tv/jacob_the_hobo
unlabelledView post →Shantae and the Seven Sirens wraps up my Shantae marathon with a very underwhelming game. It’s the worst in the series and I really wish this game was better. I had fun playing this game to completion and seeing the series’s first interconnected map! (Finished on 3/19/26 with a score of 6/10)
unlabelledView post →So finished Shantae and The Seven Sirens on Switch. Not bad, a good entry point to those wanting to try a cute metroid game without it beating you over the head like Silksong does.
unlabelledView post →Shantae and the Seven Sirens is probably the closest I have ever seen a video game get to having an actual tv show intro

unlabelledView post →These scatterings were small orbs containing magic could defeat Shantae's doppelgänger. Sky and the rest helped Shantae as Harmony nods. This is my opinion before the events of the game when Shantae and the Seven Sirens came out and thought who's Shantae mother in the scrapbook? So, I decided this.
unlabelledView post →WayForward has announced that Shantae and the Seven Sirens is getting a new free DLC update and it is due for release on all platforms on Tuesday, 30th November. #ShantaeAndTheSevenSirens https://gamesense.co/game/shantae-5/news/discuss/shantae-and-the-seven-sirens-to-get-free-spectacular-superstar-update/
unlabelledView post →Second, the load times are exaggerated. In my PC, with an SSD, load screens passed from 10s tops in Half Genie Hero to over 20s in #ShantaeAndTheSevenSirens. Even her dance animation lags at times! I wonder if a conversion from Apple Arcade to other platform has to do with it.
